If I had the time that is needed to tame the kitten I would not have taken it to the shelter, but, I do not have the time. Had it been earlier in the year, I wouldn't have hesitated to keep it, but I am working all day as is my husband and he is also currently doing PT 2x's  a week and that is a...

Just an update on the feral kitten....I was finally able to catch it....and by hand. It ain't happy. No matter what I did, it wouldn't go anywhere near the trap. The only thing I caught was an Possum....YUK! I noticed the kitten was using my cats to his advantage, such as, laying on them instead...

I'll give it a shot. Thanks. 

Well, luring the cat into a carrier didn't work, even with stinky canned food, it will not go in. So I got a humane trap, brought our outdoor cats in, and put the food in the trap, and the kitten didn't go in...so we put our outdoor cats back out, left the trap out there and the kitten came back...

There is no issue with the kitten eating. He actually is eating with my older cats (they are 6 months old and litter mates) and my cats are playing with it (it's tail). (I call it a him out of habit cause I have 2 boys). And then I just now caught them all snuggled up together in a chair on the...

Thanks, I will try that. 

I've tried putting food into a carrier, but it hasn't gone in to eat it yet, and when it does, I'm not sure how to shut the door without it bolting again. I'm starting to lean toward a humane trap. What works best to lure? Canned food or whatever you have on hand?

I have a stray kitten. I believe it is litter mate to the orange tabby I found about 2 weeks ago. She has since been tamed and now has a good furever home.  The reason I'm thinking this other stray is a litter mate is because of the size and the fact that both show up in the same location...

Thats what I was thinking 2-3 months when I first saw her, but now actually interacting with her and looking at her teeth and such, I told my husband last night I doubted she was older than 2 months. She's doing good today, ate all her food last night and drank all her water. And she figured out...

Yes Willowy, she has teeth, she just doesn't have all of them, but she was eating dry food. She drank a lot of water last night and today and I took  Raina21's advice and gave her some canned cat food with a little olive oil in it and that did the trick.  Now we just need to work on the proper...

Yes I understand that.  About 80% are male and female orange cats are rare. But I do know how to tell the difference in male/female cats. I've got 4 already.
