Hi Catapault, Yes, the vet did mention a trial run of the medication which I will do about a week prior to the trip. I feel so bad giving it to him "for no reason" but I know there is a reason, making sure it works well and that he doesn't get any reactions to it. All the rest of your tips...

First of, don't be sorry about the rant...I completely agree with everything you said! Secondly, do let us know what happened with the call :)

I understand....I wouldn't want to scare him off either. He looks just like my cat!!! So cute No matter what you are doing such a wonderful thing by feeding and caring for him. Life would be a lot harder without you.....Keep us posted of what happens!

And I will definitely keep you posted....we are leaving in just over 2 weeks now :)

That's a great idea Ondine...thank you! The fact that the crate will act as a hiding spot is perfect!!

Hi pi pi Why not try and trap him, bring him indoors and have a designated room for him with food, water, liter, toys a safe hiding spot or two, a bed and maybe a window perch or cat tower so he could enjoy looking outside....he might come to find he likes it and doesn't want to leave. It might...

Hi katefriday, You are doing an amazing thing by helping her (and her unborn kitties). I as well took in a feral 3 months ago after feeding him outside for several months... Surprisingly, the trapping process went smoothly. ( although I felt like a horrible person doing that to him, I knew it...

Hi Lochness350, Thank you so much for your recommendations and for your words of support. It's so nerve wracking not knowing if we are doing right by our little guy and your kind words definitely made me feel more confident that we are making the right decision. I never knew I could love an...

Hi Ondine, Thank you for your input. Yes, we will have him in one of the bathrooms of the home (that's where he likes to be here at our permanent home and he only ventures out to play during the night (we can here him playing with all his toys, jingling, rattling etc. plus he loves to take all...

Hi everyone, I am in need of some advice. 3 months ago I took in a feral cat that I had fed for several months outside prior to taking him to be neutered, vaccinated etc. (we named him Cash) He is a sweet boy (the black cat in my profile picture) but he won't let me or my husband touch him yet...

Thank you! I am going to watch it right now! Also, I purchased the gerber baby food, left it by his house he sleeps in, left the bathroom with the door open and sat about 8-10 ft away, about 5 minutes in he came out to eat the food, saw me and went back into his house not touching the food. So...

Again, thank you so much, I have been going into him every hour to spend time with him (usually about 15 minutes per hour) I will start to spend even more time with him. That door is a great idea, thank you for posting some picture, I think I might have a weekend project! :)) Also, just ordered...

Hi shadowsrescue, Firstly, thank you again for all the input, I really appreciate it! Yes, I tried various brands of catnip, he had no interest. I don't think the reason he is not coming out of the bathroom is my dog. She is 15 years old and mainly sleeps most of the time, and she is not a major...

Thank you so much shadowsrescue, I did give him some cooked chicken which he enjoys and I bought the feliway spray as well. I'm not sure if it is making much of a difference. He has no interest in the laser (I try everyday) and he just watches the feather toy (the toy on a stick) but never does...

Thank you for the advise Ondine, I agree that it may be best to give it a bit more time. He did actually scratch and hiss at me last night but I think it was my fault, I definitely got a bit to close to him to hand him a treat. But I wonder now that you mentioned it, could he possibly not be...
