    URGENT REQUEST HELP FOR KATIE in CA

    I would suggest to contact a local TNR group and see if they have a spokesperson that will help educate these people on the benefits of TNR vs. euthanizing. Where I work there are several ferals that they were trapping and taking to the humane society. I organized a meeting with our...

    Criteria for determining a semi-feral's readiness for adoption

    The criteria our no-kill shelter uses is they take the cat in a room and just socialize with it. They see if it comes to you, will let you pet them without hisses or swating, and basically just lets you handle them. If they pass these tests then they will put take them in and put them up for...

    What do you all feed your feral cats?

    Since one of our feral colonies totals up to 50 cats we just feed the cheapest brand of dry food we can find! I also have 2 feral colonies at work that I do the same for. We can't afford, nor do we have the time, to mix wet with dry. At home we free feed dry food and then they all get about...

    semi-feral kittens: socialize first or adopt out while they're still small?

    The only way I would adopt out a semi-tame cat is if the potential adopters knew how to handle and tame them. Otherwise they may get frustrated, give up, and no telling what would happen to the kittens. We all have good intentions, but sometimes we take on more than we realize. If you're in...

    new to caring for feral cats

    Yes there's a chance you can still socialize. Patience is the key along with food. Do you have a room, like a small bathroom, you could seclude her in? This way she has nothing to hide under and will have to learn to trust and depend on you. Here's a link that provides some good pointers...

    I don't know what to do. There are so many of them...

    As you can see from Kurby he does not look like he's not getting enough to eat. We've gone nightly now for over 9 years feeding/trapping etc. They are by no means hungry. You can pm me anytime. Thank you!!!

    How to give med. to feral 3 mo/olds ?

    Our vet does not keep it supplied. We have to order this through mail delivery from the vets office. Good luck!

    question about shots?

    Our vet gives them their first initial shots and that's all they get. We figure it is better than none at all, but to trap all again for boosters etc. would be next to impossible.

    pictures of your strays and ferals?

    This is Mouser. He was found wandering along the sidewalk barely able to crawl. We bottle fed him and he is now a full grown healthy boy!
