I have a foster kitten from the feral colony in our neighborhood. She is a tad younger than the other kittens i am fostering, but she seemed to be doing quite well (we have had her for almost 2 weeks). All the kittens were tested for fe-luk etc and tested negative, had her first round of...

While trying to re-catch one of our cats, we accidently caught one of the feral cats from the neighborhood. I thought it was a girl, and I brought "her" in to get spayed before releasing her. Turns out she is a he, and quite young (under 8 months). We kept him for 10 days in a large dog crate...

We have had a feral cat living with us since she gave birth two years ago. She has been doing great in the house, loves the dogs, and has been letting us pet her. Unfortunately a week ago she got out in the middle of the night and then got scared and ran off when we tried to catch her. SHe...

Hi, I think i have a problem here and I am not sure how to solve it. I have noticed a few flea bites on me! I have three cats, one who is feral(MC) though she lives in the house. she likes us well enough, and she lets us gently touch her but there is no way i can get frontline on her. I have...

I have three cats.. all fairly young. A feral female, her son (who was born in the house, and very friendly) and another female (calico). For a while the two females have not gotten along, and though we did the long intro, as described by people on this board, they seem to continually get into...

Hi. I have a cat who is hypothyroid (was hyper, did the radioactive iodine, and she was one of the few that go under normal afterwards). Overall her levels are fine and she is maintaining her weight just fine. However, her skin and fur get so oily that if I do not get her groomed bimonthly the...

I had heard that truely feral cats would not play with toys because they were not exposed to them as kittens. However, the mom-cat we have is very playful, though she still will not allow us to touch her . She plays with the fake mice, the feather, and the lazer pointer. She also plays with her...

I had mom cat spayed yesterday (finally got her in the trap) and put her in a large dog crate in the back room with a litter box a comfy pillow that is scented with her and the kits. right now i have it covered because i figured while she was coming out of the anesthesia she could use a little...

I have had a mom-cat in my garage for over 14 weeks now. When she first came she was very very shy, and never came out. However, after the kittens came she seemed to become more comfortable and would come out when we were there and eat. I started to think we might be able to socialize her...

At 10 weeks we lost one of our kittens. The vets are nto sure what caused it, but it seemed to be a viral/bacterial infection that caused neurological lesions. He stopped eating on friday, and despite my best efforts, the vet specialist told me this morning that he had little to no chance of...

the mom cat threw up in the garage and when i went to clean it up there was a long worm in the throw up. The kittens were wormed, but the mom, being feral and unapproachable, was not. Since I have one very sick kitten right now, I am concerned that this might be the problem, though we are...

I just went out to the kittens this morning and noticed that one was being a little lethargic. I checked him out and noticed that he was dehydrated. I have an appt with the vet at 2 for him, but I am concerned. He has had his first shots (is now 10 wks old), has not been out of the back...

OK i just went into the back room to check on the kittens and saw them all nursing off mom! They are almost 10 weeks and we are planning on sending them to their homes and getting mom spayed. Shouldn't she have stopped nursing them by now? Will this make her spay more difficult?

well, the kittens are going to start going to their homes this next week. I am glad I have found homes for all of them (we are keeping one...), but I am feeling so guilty about separating them from their mom and their sibs. I have put a towel in there for them to sleep on so I can cut it up and...

the kittens from my fearful stray are now 8 weeks old and are coming along nicely socially. However, one of the boys is quite the momma's boy. He will play with us and come over to about within 1 ft of us of his own accord. He will also allow us to pet him while he eats and will take chicken...

what a fun time it has been. The kittens are now 7 weeks and have had their first vet visit (all healthy and happy). I am proud to say that i accurately determined the sex of all of them (1 girl, 3 boys). At this point they all have potential homes (just working out who gets who) and we are...

I have been feeding the 6-wk old kittens wet food and kmr and I have been putting the mom's food (kitten kibble) across the room where she mellows out away from them. well, the kibble was going fast, and then i saw the little buggers waddling over there and eating it too!! I did not think 6-wk...

As I have been posting I have a feral cat who had a little of kittens in my garage. She has been pretty good about allowing us kitten access, and has even tolerated us taking them out of the enclosure for a while. However, she is still not really comfortable with us touching her. The kittens...

So I have this feral cat who had a litter of kittens in my garage. They are now 5 wks old. Today, I saw them using the litter box all on their own. I am convinced she is the best mom ever! now i just need to figure out how to convince her to get in a carrier so i can get her spayed. Good mom...
