Thank you for all the suggestions. The Cat Attract litter attract is what worked for B but not for F. I've tried dirt mixed with litter, dirt only, dirt covered with grass, and none of those have worked. I'll try the large shallow box next.
I brought my 2 ferals inside that I've been taking care of for 5 years. B started using the litter box right away. F has decided that he will only go on my spare bed which is now covered in cardboard moving boxes and paper. I have tried Feline Pine, clay litter, and every litter in between as...
I shut the sliding door on them when they were inside the other day because it was about 45 degrees out and my heat was cranking. They were none too happy so I reopened the door after a few minutes. I have 4 more weeks (2 of which I'll sadly be traveling) to keep working on them til move day...
One of my feral cats had an infection at the top of his tail. It smelled progressively worse and got worse. Luckily I found a vet who would work with ferals and he was able to shave the area and clean the infection. The tail healed even in the dead of Winter in a WI but had the infection...
So I noticed 2 days ago that my kitty started licking his rear and end of his tail a lot. Like you I think I may be in for a vet visit. Everything I can find says fleas (I just put Frontline on 2 nights ago but it rained that night) or an infected anal gland. Does fish mox work as a general...
I had to put my 2 sweet indoor cats down last week. An only telling you this because it taught me what to watch for. Ezra was 19 but in perfect health. 2 weeks ago she was very disoriented and her back legs kept failing her. Took her to the vet who ran all the tests (that came back fine) and he...
I am going to move my 2 black semi-feral (to me but feral to everyone else) about 5 hours away to IN. They were TNR cats and have only been trapped that once. I can pet them and they've started wandering into my current house as planned. They are super skittish and run outside at the first quick...
Is your fish mox working? I'm so sorry that you have all this stress but it's so awesome that you have a heart of gold. I myself am working on taming and bringing in 2 black feral cats. I have never heard of fish mox til this string of messages and am eternally grateful for all of you educating...
How did your move go with the ferals? I have almost the exact same situation as you. I no longer have indoor cats though as I had to put both of my sweet angels down 2 weeks ago. It's been awful. Anyway, I am hoping to catch my 2 feral porch kitties and move them 5 hours South to IN. Any...
