    New, day 3 with feral kitty

    Really? And you can just put it on their back instead of in their ears?

    But the cat doesn't have fleas, it needs ear medication

    MATS ON FERAL CAT

    Are you sure they are mats? Could they be wounds or ticks?

    New feral foster kitten WILL NOT stop crying

    I absolutely I think it has helped tremendously! He has undergone a total transformation tonight. I had to rinse his paws off again and played and held him, and he calmed down so so quickly. I let him crawl off my lap on the couch as he seemed so calm and didn't try to scramble away from me..he...

    New feral foster kitten WILL NOT stop crying

    I am able to handle and pet him but he does still hiss and try to cower when I reach into the crate to take him out. We have been playing but only in my lap or a small confined area like the bathroom, because he is receptive to being petted and calms more quickly but he is still kind of looking...

    Found kitten, have tried to find owners

    You can call the police on her and report she may have a pet if you're worried about the other cat being abused

    New feral foster kitten WILL NOT stop crying

    I really cannot give him free reign as I cannot keep him for an unlimited amount of time (and in my experience if they have the opportunity to hide away from you they will be much less socialized or it will happen on their timeline which could take months or years). He would spend his life under...

    New feral foster kitten WILL NOT stop crying

    He really is the cutest cat! he is good about being held and stays pretty still looking around ( unless something loud or quick spooks him. I think he likes being up high. I hate having him confined but when I let him out into the spare room he was hiding and I had to chase him down to catch...

    New feral foster kitten WILL NOT stop crying

    I think it's pretty clear from his reactions that it's because he's frightened and uncomfortable and feels trapped - I'm sitting in the room with him in his crate and he's searching for a way out, standing on his hind legs and calling upwards to try to get help to escape, facing the window and...

    New feral foster kitten WILL NOT stop crying

    I think he cried himself to sleep. I feel so bad. Currently sitting on the floor of the room he's in next to his cage with the heater going - me being nearby but not touching and the hum of the heater calmed him down I think. He's about 3.5 lbs, so I'm guessing around 4 months (he's pretty bony...

    New feral foster kitten WILL NOT stop crying

    I think i spoke too soon. He really will NOT stop crying. It's incessant and very loud. He cries while he purrs now from being pet, he cries as soon as I put him in his cage and he cries while I'm holding him. He cries and cries and then he stops and cries some more. I think it might be driving...

    New feral foster kitten WILL NOT stop crying

    Tonight is already way better! I came home and he was crying in his cage, so I took him to feed him in the bathroom and he hissed a little at first but ate right in front of me. I started to pet him and he was purring like a maniac - but then would alternate with some crying. It's stopped being...

    New feral foster kitten WILL NOT stop crying

    I don't think I could release him back out in good conscience..I live in NYC so life for a feral cat is pretty far from idyllic here. A lot of garbage and busy streets and rat poison. Even if he is not super warmed up I will find him somewhere to live..luckily he is long hair so very very cute...

    New feral foster kitten WILL NOT stop crying

    The weird part is from his size I assume he is slightly older than the other grey girl but she seemed to almost immediately forget she had a mother or siblings outside and was very receptive to contact and handling, no crying, just acted like any other feral kitten I've had before - resistant to...

    New feral foster kitten WILL NOT stop crying

    I don't have other cats, actually. I have a large dog that is super sweet and has lived through tons of foster kittens but is absolutely terrified of this one (scared of hissing..smarter dog than me lol) so has been staying far away. I don't have unlimited time for this kitty to stay with me...

    New feral foster kitten WILL NOT stop crying

    I have been taking them out and holding them periodically for as long as I can. He is long haired and a kitten so he's constantly getting litter clumps on his feet - which means I have to wash his feet off which scares him even more. I actually haven't tried playing with him yet much, just...
