    Introduction & socialization questions

    What a day! Lost kittens, saved kittens.....

    Wow catwoman707, it's so wonderful what you're doing for these cats and kittens. Too bad you couldn't save the first ones. They were too far gone. I hope things work out well with your feral momma and newborns. And their two day old foster child/sibling of course! All you can do is keep an eye...

    Thank you for all your responses! Abbysmom, thanks for embedding my video rather than just taking it out, I wasn't aware of the fact that I broke a rule. Will keep that in mind for future video's! My hubby Rob strokes all the way to the tail on purpose. He knows he's going slightly out of her...

    Hi all, Since it is late now and I'm very tired after last night, I will reply to you in more detail tomorrow. Thank you so much for replying though! Just a quick post now to show you a video of Qadirah's latest session with us. We have been having sessions with her ever since we took her in...

    Introduction & socialization questions

    Hi StefanZ! Thanks for your post, it is very helpful! I'm glad there are people here who can give feedback. It's 5.35 AM now and I have been awake for 1½ hours. Ruby takes after her sister even more than we thought. At exactly 4 AM she started to cry. With Reba this happened for 3 or 4 nights...

    Introduction & socialization questions

    Thanks for the quick reaction, LDG! I didn't really write much about Qadirah's situation yet because I wanted to figure out if I came to the right place to ask for advice. Seems I have! Qadirah has been living in the main foster home, which has lots of other cats, and volunteers coming in...

    Hi, my name is Resie and I am new here. I signed up because this forum has a strays/ferals subforum and I like having (or giving) some feedback every once in awhile. I used to be a foster home in The Netherlands for kittens, some of which had never seen humans and had to be socialized from...
