    Leaving gifts on the doorstep

    Thank heavens this cat hasn't been bringing them live, she must think they are a bit too slow for that lesson yet I just always thought it odd that she would leave them an internal organ. I always wondered if she thought that was the best part or if that was the part that she never ate...

    How long to wait?

    Thanks for the advice, I feel a lot better knowing she will be ok. I will probably keep her till at least a week after the surgery, just to be on the safe side. Thanks again!

    How long to wait?

    Hi, I trapped Shea last May, just before she gave birth to five beautiful kitties. I have since been able to place the kittens in a foster home and had Shea spayed two days ago. My question is how long do I wait after the surgery before releasing her back to her prefered habitat? There is no way...

    Leaving gifts on the doorstep

    Odd question for you all- My friend's cat is an indoor/outdoor cat, and will frequently leave the results of her latest hunting expedition on the doorstep, either whole, or an internal organ of some sort. I have heard that leaving the whole animal is a sign of affection, because mother cats do...

    I'm ready to foster a litter of kittens!

    I wish you were in my area, I have a mama cat with five new babies that need to find a foster home, the humane society is over an hour away, and I can't get them in as often as is needed by myself. They are wonderful kids and I would love to keep them, but nine cats (including my three) is just...

There are at least four, if not more (I didnt want to get too close and freak her out) But she did finally go into the dog crate and that is where they are...

    Having another go...

    Well, by the size of Shea, I decided the sooner I got her into a warm, secure room, the better. She looks like a balloon about to pop, and was trying to bolt and climbing walls every time she saw me, so she has now been relocated to my spare bedroom where there are no potential escape routs and...

    I am fairly certain that she is feral, I have been feeding her and a few other cats for most of the winter, and she really wasn't that easy to catch, I think I simply got lucky and knew what time she would be coming. She is absolutly terrified of people and has never come near my porch if I paid...

    Having another go...

    Exciting news, Shea is now a resident of my enclosed porch, and looks as large as ever, so I guess I have kittens on the way! Yikes! Question is, now what? I really don't want her stressing out, and am worried that the stress of being caught may be bad for her babies, poor thing was literally...

    Thanks for the tips and links. I can tell that I will be needing lots of help with this mama. I have got her so she comes to check my porch usually once a day, checking for food. I am attempting to rig a rope to the screen door of my porch so that I can pull it shut as fast as I can, with any...
