    Regarding The Fate Of A Feral I Have Kept For 8 Years :(

    Hi...thank you so much for sharing that you also needed to make this sort of decision. I ‘know’ you did the right thing, so it makes it much more clear that I am doing the right thing, too. Reflecting on it all, I know the sadness will come and go, but my allowing them to have ‘decent lives,’ in...

    PS: sorry for the typos...never took typing and was in a rush earlier. Thanks, once more!!! Love that there is actually a sote just for kitties, and good people helping other good people navigate their way through cat mother or fatherhood.

    Update: To everyone who replied with imploring me to not have Chloe put down, I think it all must have resonated with me, as I was able to find, with the help of an animal sanctuary, someone who would take both cats and be okay with the idea of both my cats living in a totally different...

    I understand... Sadly, in our area, Chloe would be in great danger of being harmed by other ferals... we tried to have her be an outdoor kitty years ago now, and she came back home with her back slit open. I was amazed we could save her with surgery... This kitty has had ever opportunity... and...

    Thank you for your reply, and the added info. I agree that many cats can be saved from euthanasia. I have only ever needed to have one feral put down...I lived in a beach area and found a litter across the road in an empty lot... I brought them to a vet that adopted them out for me. I trapped...

    Hi there~ I fully believe you did the right thing. It is not easy to make these decisions. Only the person who has made the efforts to help the cat can know what it best... can truly know if an animal would suffer further if kept alive. It does not make me happy to think of Chloe in the no kill...

    Here is a rare daytime photo of Chloe, the cat on the left. This is the closest she will let anyone get to her. She is seen here lounging on our last lanai...that is her 'daddy' next to her, the gray and white kitty ~ Beau. We thank you for helping us figure out the very best scenario for Miss...

    Thank you so much...some tears came to my eyes... Yes, I know I would have sadness at times, but the main decision is coming down to what is right for Chloe, and not what will make me feel better... I am not sure how I feel about placing her in a no-kill situation, in terms of her own comfort in...

    Hi. Thank you so much for replying to my post. Yes, I can see how it might seem that I am trying to not have Chloe put down, but I really am not :I really hoped for someone to reply who had also chosen it as the best thing for a feral like Chloe...just to not feel so alone about this. I am so...

    Hi. This is not easy to share...please know that I have thought about it over and over... I feel sad, but am now convinced that the most humane thing for me to do is to have a vet put down a cat I have... Here is her story: "Chloe"' was brought in through a cat door by my male cat about 8...
