Thanks for the advice!  We managed to get the Advantage Multi applied one day late - not too shabby!  So now we have 3 more weeks to build the relationship further for dosage #2 to ensure all of her wormie eggs are killed off.  Yuck! She also needs her boosters for vaccinations.  Those are due...

UPDATE: Our little girl is assimilating nicely into our home.  She gets along swimmingly w/ our cats and greyhound.  She is not so convinced about us, though.  We still only pet her on rare occasion.  However, the safe distance she likes to keep b/t us and herself is minimizing.  What used to be...

By the way, Jimmy is a handsome fellow!

Thank you so much for the encouragement! We opened the door this morning.  She immediately ran out b/c Milton was there.  But once she realized what she had done (i.e. left her safe spot), she darted back into her room.  They played in there for several hours before I left for work.  She is...

Here is a video I took Friday night.  This is the stray, we call her Playdoh, playing w/ our young orange tabby, Milton. This morning, Sunday, was another huge breakthrough.  Milton is a lap cat to the 9s!  So I sat down on the futon in Playdoh's room and Milton settled in on my lap.  I...

Thanks so much for all of your help and advice, jcribbs!  I have started to read through the threads you posted but I have not read them thoroughly yet.  I appreciate the leg work. We have made some gains! Spay surgery was 7 days ago.  Days 4, 5, and 6 were rough on her.  I think she was still...

Thanks so much for the help and suggestions.  The deed is done, but it wasn't pretty!  We have definitely erased any progress that was made w/ her. The transfer from crate to carrier to spare bedroom was not an immediate success.  She did not want to leave the crate to get into the carrier.  In...

Thanks Jenn.  Sorry, I may have been unclear.  She was trapped on Sunday but we could not get her spayed until Thursday (yesterday).  So she is not yet healed from her spay. We really want her to interact w/ our pets but confinement in her bedroom will prevent that since we need her to heal a...

Thanks so much for the replies! I may have painted a rosier picture than reality regarding her behavior.  However, having far less experience than folks here on the forum, I may be misguided in my classification of her.  When we initially trapped her (used a regular metal kennel/crate with...

Hello!  I am new to the site.  I am so glad to have stumbled upon the forum as we are in the process of socializing a feral.  We have 1 rescue greyhound, 2 rescue orange tabbies, and 1 new calico/tabby female feral.  She has just been spayed and vaccinated and we are feeling out how to integrate...

Hi!  So glad I stumbled across this site.  Let me set the stage for our situation. We have one rescue greyhound (male - 5.5 years old) and 2 neutered orange tabbies - 9 years old and 1.5 years old.  Everyone lives in harmony right now.  Both cats and dog have free reign of the house.  They are...
