Quick update while I am on this site: Frederick is absolutely thriving with Ricky! He is incredibly affectionate and calm, and is now one of the friendliest cats I know. We have seen him multiple times when visiting Ricky, and receive regular photo updates as well. Here is a recent photo of him-...

I will give a more detailed update once I know more, but yes, there is good news! Nate found her, caught her, and brought her to an emergency vet clinic. The vet said she had ingested something toxic which had severely irritated her throat and intestines. They flushed her out and rehydrated her...

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful replies and advice. I sent Nate a link to this thread so he can read it directly. Unfortunately shortly after Nate saw her vomiting, Scratchy disappeared. Nate and his brother have been looking for her all day. We are asking everyone we know at the...

People here were very helpful when I posted about an issue last year. I was hoping you may have some advice for this situation. A friend of mine is moving states. He was supposed to leave yesterday, but had to delay because Scratchy, the outdoor, semi-feral cat he was planning on taking with...

Shadowsrescue- thank you so much for your help with Frederick, and everything you do! I just checked out your blog. It seems like you have significant experience socializing adult feral cats.

Just to clarify, by the above sources do you mean Next Door?

Thank you for your quick reply. He doesn't seem to be eating much at the moment, unfortunately. Also, other strays and ferals are around the area, so they might eat his food too. Could the antibiotics harm healthy ferals if they eat some of his food? Also, would an incomplete dose harm him...

In case this is relevant, I live in Orange County, California. About a week ago my fiance noticed that one of the feral cats that lives at our apparent complex was injured (bloody at the mouth and drooling). This cat is very feral and doesn't allow people to come up close to him. He ran off and...
