Bog was a socialized feral, he’s close to a year old now :)

One more update, Boggy is now allowed to roam. He’s picking fights with my other cat Kiki, but I think he’s starting to calm down, and it hasn’t gotten beyond quiet hissing and some warning swats. (And yes I know Kiki is overweight, she has been since I got her and we’re working on it) hope...

Mama’s surgery went fine, and I released her just now back into my backyard. I’m going to keep feeding her in the evenings. I had planned to keep her indoors just a few more days, but she wasn’t eating or drinking anything In the crate, and the vet recommended against letting her loose inside...

hi all, some updates. due to a cancellation, I was able to move mama’s appointment to tomorrow (Monday). I caught her and right now she’s in my bedroom so she can get out of the heat for the night. Boggy is still doing really well. He started seeking out pets today, and yesterday I was out and...

Thank you! And I do greet her with Mama, she seems to recognize it. though this isn’t a realistic time for me to bring her in, I plan to continue feeding her and I’ll work to earn her trust.

good morning. The issue I meant is once I let mama loose in the bathroom, I do not know how specifically to get her into a carrier so I can get her to the vet. but, I’ve slept on it. I have a tendency to get kind of fixated on things I think I should do without fully thinking it through, and I...

I don’t have a cage, I just have the bathroom. There’s a carrier in here but the kitten hasn’t gone in it at all, and the mama stuck her head in it before (failed kitten trap attempt... she ate the bait) and it seemed too small for her. So I don’t know what I can do to get the mama out of the...

Kitten has been yelling a lot less today, I think it’s been sleeping more which is good. if I’m able to keep mama in the bathroom, then I could take her in. I am a little worried about the logistics. I would need to be able to get the kitten to the vet in about two weeks, and then her to the...

Thanks so much! my main concern with catching mama is the upcoming appointment; I’m not sure how I would get it to the vet if it’s not calmed down by then

Thank you for the advice, I’ll definitely show her the baby is okay when I can. And I already have an appointment made and am covering the cost, but the earliest I could get was September 9th. (I made the appointment about two weeks ago)

We have animal control, but I’ve been told they don’t come to our neighborhood now, and one website refers me to a hotline I’ve already called and another say they aren’t accepting cats.

I’ve been looking through rescues and reached out to one, but the majority around here are either explicitly not taking strays, not taking cats, or have stopped taking animals at all. I think covid has caused a lot of services to be more limited or overwhelmed. the reason I’ve been unwilling...

Yes, I will say stray! Thank you for the advice, and I will take a look at these forums

I think mama might be feral, because I remember seeing her before when she was smaller/a kitten, and I’ve only lived here like a year, but I could be wrong. Nothings open yet here but I’ll call places later saying they’re stray.
