    cat in a cage

    Thank you. It"s comforting to know they don't injure themselves in a covered humane trap overnight. Up here in Québec, vets will still be unavailable for a long time except for emergencies. Will most likely wait till fall before TNR program is reactivated. Even if I paid, I could not get an...

    cat in a cage

    Yo ! Great blog. Good news about males only having to spend one night in the cage after the neuter. That means they do not overreact and harm themselves. My house is 180 yrs old, and 23 ' by 23' inside, all open. There's one bedroom upstairs and an unheated attic. So this guy will have to make...

    cat in a cage

    Yo ! Thanks. That's a good idea since it will be a while before we can even get close to a vet's place unless it's a real emergency. Winter will be just around the corner again by then. Sigh. If he has to stay locked up for 3 days to heal like my female cat had to, I'll just use the big dog cage...

    cat in a cage

    Hi. Thanks. Actually a humane trap is what I have, but I used cage because up here, in French, a 'trappe' has jaws. Since I live alone, it just might do well. Low light and music. Yesss ! The whole idea is to get him to a vet in the first place, have him neutered and then he could be released...

    cat in a cage

    Hi. I am planning on capturing a young feral male in a cage to bring him to the vet as part of a trap-neuter-release program - when all ths Covid stuff quiets down. This means he will have to spend the night in the cage as he only comes late in the evening. My only concern is that he might...

    Can Ferals Ever Become Indoor Cats?

    Yo ! Greetings from Northeastern Québec. You need not worry about the litter box. That is automatic. This is my opinion only, but the risk would be for them to wander off once you let them loose in your new place. Maybe if you keep them inside a few days, they would call your house home and come...

    deworming a feral ?

    Thank you. It's difficult to evaluate because I have never used anything but dry food. But this guy is being treated a little bit differently in that I always cut up 1/4 of a hot dog in a saucer before giving him some dry treats and then letting him dig into the larger dry food bowl. He chews...

    deworming a feral ?

    Hi. Greetings from Northeastern Québec. I have been feeding a young feral male all winter. It lives in an old barn. I plan on having it neutered when his Covid thing is over. My local SPCA has a TNR program on ice right now. With luck, I would like to entice it into becoming a house cat. I have...
