    Help - I have three adult ferals I am trying to socialize - I'm failing -

    I read it - it's basically the same protocol - I have to believe that mine are special circumstances and I would hate to release them in a different area here in the city - if it was a farm or a suburb in which I owned the home and land - then I would do that - thanks for your help - just...
