Hi, I have not posted in quite a while, but I did want to let everyone who had given me advice on my feral kitten problem know the outcome. To summarize, I had trapped a feral kitten and her mom and had them spayed, shots, tested etc. The mom was too feral for me to keep so I released her...

KT & Hissy, It was too late by the time I read your postings, but I don't think I had a choice. Levi had thrown up again while I was at work. When I got home and took Levi to the vet, he was seriously dehydrated and the vet had to administer subcutaneous fluids. He did bloodwork, which I...

Lynn, I will put the messages on petfinder.org. Actually, we are moving to a townhome so relocation of the cats isn't really practical since we have no yard and it is on a busy street. As far as the kitten goes, alot depends on what happens at the vet tonight. If Levi is ok, I will keep the...

KT, I am going to call the no-kill shelter this afternoon when they open. They are open wed-sun and they told me if they adopted out a cat over the weekend they may be able to take my kitten. I hate so much to give her up. She is so sweet and loves to be indoors. She cries when I even open...

Marion, We do have a screen door on for the sliding glass doors on our deck. I could try to get that off and move it inside. Once in a while I take my indoor cat out on a leash (he loves it). One day, this feral kitten happened to be on our deck as we rounded the corner and my cat went after...

Thanks for the kind words, but I still can't help but feel guilty about the strays and worried about my own cat. I did a search on the net and came up with a few ideas of things to try to feed my cat (like canned pumpkin, kitty kaviar etc.) to get him to increase his food intake. I'm not sure...

I think tuna would be fine. I was able to trap 2 ferals using just tuna. I did not feed them for 24 hours before trapping so they were hungry enough to go into the trap after the tuna. Hope that helps

KT, That is not exactly true. I didn't do what is best for the cats. I should have released them both together after they were spayed/shots. I knew my cat did not like these two feral from the interaction they had before I trapped them. My cat used to try to attack them through the screen...

Your right Hissy, I am very concerned about Levi since he has not eaten well since Saturday. I hate to let the feral kitty go since I'm not sure I can recapture her if they have space at the no-kill shelter. This is really hard. Thanks for the advice. BTW..I only give Levi a tiny bit of...

Yes, the feral has been spayed and is up to date on shots!!

Hi, I am very concerned about my 6 year old cat. I had to bring a 9 month old semi-feral kitten into the house. I am hoping to keep her, but it depends on how my house cat acts. Right now, I have the feral kitty isolated in a spare bedroom. My house cat spends all his time sitting right in...

KT, Thanks for all the links!! I will def. look into them. My problem now is that the "mama" cat has not come back. I have dry food out for her (its too cold to leave wet out all day), but no luck. Yesterday, there were some paws tracks on my deck, but it could have been the neighbors cats...

Thanks everyone, The foster mom was def. not the person to try to do the taming. I gave her a ton of info on taming feral cats and made sure she understood what she was getting into, but I really don't think she expected it to be that bad. The cat was actually slamming into her sliding doors...

Hi, About 3 weeks ago I trapped a feral cat that I had been feeding for several months. I had her spayed/shots and found a temporary home for her. The woman who took her put her in a room by herself w/ food, water, litterbox etc. Now this poor kitty is so scared that everytime her foster mom...

Hissy, Thank you for replying. I did read on another site tonight that it would be best to mix mostly dirt with a little bit of regular litter and then to gradually change over to all litter. So I just got done filling the litter box with mostly potting soil (I couldn't find any at the store...
