Sadly we have got no cats around that are eating the food we put out currently, I wasn't able to catch that other feral again as he hasn't returned (I assume he would have eaten the food if he was around). I did put the trap right beside the non-trap fresh food, is it possible it is scaring them...

Thanks everyone for the encouragement about Cricket, it really helps when I feel like he's never going to come back :redheartpump: I could catch the feral and get him neutered right away. Will I be able to let him out immediately after and not worry about him scaring off Cricket? I don't think...

As the feral cat looks to be hungry enough to reenter traps, is there any tips/ways of how to get him to not run into the walls of a cage? I'd prefer to just be able to keep him in a cage and tame him that way, it would also mean that it is (unless another feral) Cricket and not this feral if...

Thankyou for the link to the thread, it gives me hope that he will return. I will try some of the ideas in the thread too. I will check social media to see if there any missing cat ads. I know a person near us also has cats that looked to be the same breed as him, I will ask them if they are...

Someone left the door just a tiny bit open and Cricket got out, he's tamed and he's been neutered, so we were hopeful we might get him back by searching and leaving foot out. Someone was eating the food so we set the trap and instead of Cricket there was a feral silver tom, he had bashed his...

That's really helpful, thankyou!

I forgot to add, they have been out together unintentionally (kitten escaped his cage), and there wasn't any injuries as a result.

Cricket is my adult cat, previously feral but now tamed and desexed. Our feral kitten, Pinto, has come really far really fast and I would consider him tame, loves to be stroked, approaches me, gets excited for food when he sees me preparing it, and can even be picked up which Cricket is still...

That's helpful, thankyou. I will be getting her spayed very shortly. Yes, will be getting her spayed very shortly. Not sure if the vet is very experienced in handling ferals, we have already taken in one that was semi-feral (not wildly feral, just cant touch or pick up) and she said she would...

We had a feral cat caught last night, estimated age 6-10? months, it is a small cat with some kitten traits in the face, and we think it is a female. I couldn't see any obvious male organs and from the research I have been doing her genitals looked female too. She does look slightly large for a...

I will get his weight soon, I have no idea at the moment. With limited experience I would say he's doing okay, I can touch his whole body and he looks to enjoy being stroked (I'm not sure, does purring and closing eyes mean he's enjoying it?), but he does hiss sometimes if you make eye contact...

I could, I just don't have a cage type carrier currently. Something I will look into buying though. I should get his weight, I have never weighed him yet. Does checking his gender involve picking him up? I don't think he is that tame just yet. He's in a large cage (not a carrier, much bigger...

We have a newly caught feral kitten, and we are pro spay/neuter and want to get him done as soon as possible after he is tame enough to be handled by the vets, also to get him chipped and vaccinated at the same visit. We estimated age to be 2 to 3 months. Don't know the gender, so I don't know...

That makes sense, I'll try something different then. Next time I'm in town I'll buy KFC and sardines in oil. Thankyou both for the suggestions!

Hi all, We live on a rural orchard and have quite the feral cat problem, which I feel sorry for these poor cats, so we have been trying to trap them. We have 2 so far, a adult male that we have just tamed, neutered, chipped and vaccinated, and just last night we caught a teeny-tiny black kitten...
