awesome....they are so unpredictable but in the greatest of ways....mine are in after 7 years out - not sure I did the right thing - but if I did not do it - I really don't know what would have happened to them - I had to leave the building I was in and I live in a city....but they seem...

Hey everyone - last time I posted was last May - I had been taking care of a mama and her two kids on the outside for about 7 years when the building I lived in was sold.  I decided to take the already tnr'ed family inside in my new place.  It's been 9 months (times passes so fast) they are...

Thanks so much for your words of encouragement - makes me feel so much better - I figured if they were really unhappy - they would let me know - I'm going to go get the brush tomorrow and try and brush a little bit each day - Last year when he was still outside - the same thing - only - I was...

just an update - it's been two months - kitties have settled in pretty good - still running and hiding from me sometimes - but I can sit in the room and they basically just sleep alot - they play at night - one concern - are they happy?  How would I know? The mother and son are like lovers -...

Thanks for all your help - I was questioning the crates and you gave me the confidence to let them out....

Well, they did not come in to my other apartment - they would step in when it was real cold but they would not hang out - but the porch - they lived on practically when the weather was nice - just want them to be happy -...

They are going great - sitting right now with charlie (the little girl) she's on the couch resting - the mother and son are hiding - but yesterday the mom was out with me - and the son sleeps on the couch at night with his sister.

Just a quick update - the three are out and about - Joey - the son - is enjoying my couches along with his sister (which is a huge surprise) mama came out but would not let me see her - but I did see the back of her so I know she's eating and not just hiding - This morning I was on my computer...

they do tug at your heart....thank you so much for cheering me on...I will keep everyone abreast of my progress...

they are out of their crates - and I know they are already happier little campers - I've secured the living room which is connected to a dining room that serves as a little home office - they are right now under a dresser - I thought I had blocked that off - the only thing I did not - however ...

Well, I'm encouraged from all the positive feedback - I'm a newbie - just took in three adults I've been feeding for years (my building was sold and relocation was not a good option) been just about three weeks - I guess I have a long way to go - but knowing that I'm not alone in this journey...

I appreciate your help - sorry I was not clear enough before - I feel more confident now that letting them out of the crates is the best thing...I just needed a little encouragement...  

that's was my thoughts yesterday - the only room is the living room - there's a few hiding places but they can be contained - that's really the only room -

I read it - it's basically the same protocol - I have to believe that mine are special circumstances and I would hate to release them in a different area here in the city - if it was a farm or a suburb in which I owned the home and land - then I would do that - thanks for your help - just...

I want to keep them - I've been taking care of them for seven years - just want them to be happy is all...I don't care if they don't cuddle....

I discussed that with someone from Tree House - we discussed relocation - however - I rent and it's in the City of Chicago - it would be difficult they said and most likely they would try and return to the spot they had been for so long - The reason bringing them in was a good alternative was...

okay - I have to be honest though - they keep tearing everything up and getting kitty litter in the food and dumping the water - not complaining - just want to get a read on how they are behaving.  Is it natural?  Should they be climbing the cages trying to get out - moaning....calling...loudly...

Yes, Tree House here in Chicago - however - I feel pretty much on my own - there's so many other things to tend to for them - I can't put a cat in only bathroom - it's not big enough and I can see her freaking out in there - the whole point of having them in my living room was to have them get...

I took them into the vet to get de-fleaed and such and then picked them up to take them home - I don't think the bathroom would work for all three - the crates are big....the first week I could touch the mother and son with a "tickle stick" behind the ears ..but now they are retreating - I think...

That's what I thought too - however, the mom is crying so much - it's like she's calling someone - the daughter then gets upset and they both start trying to open the cage - the brother who is so quiet is just laying around and retreating from me - I used to be able to pet him outside... this...
