I could keep him in a cage for a week before we go and in the garage for a while. Thanks for the link I will go over it. I...

    I Have A Feral Kitty Issue.

    Jen from Mew foster cat care stopped by and dropped off meds and a playpen. So they had their first dose of worm meds flea and tic meds and we gave them both their first bath with soap and water and did a tick comb. The sable one has ear tufts like a main coon. Jen thinks both will find homes fast.

    I Have A Feral Kitty Issue.

    Well I put in dry cat food and he did not eat it, but I put in a bit of tuna and he ate it up. So I would assume he is eating solid food.
