Good News! He is not totally feral after all. Last night in my attempt to calm him, I went to the store and bought the feliway. Also added a space heater since I felt the garage was getting a bit drafty and I replaced the regular blanket covering his cage with an electric blanket to hold the...

Thank you. Yes he does. I have two large dog crates connected. The back of the cage is covered and has a bed and blanket. The front cage has his litter box and food and water. Tonight he moved to the front cage which is uncovered. Usually if he is in the front he will retreat to the back when...

Vet came to my house today. He snuck up behind the cage and injected him with the sedative. A few minutes late he was out. He then examined him right there on my garage floor. First thing he noticed was the cat was covered in fresh loose stool. So he had to clean him up. Not sure if this was...

It does require a prescription but as so Willowy said most vets give it pretty freely. I have obtained it for my ferals twice without his ever seeing any of them. Just call up or go in and ask for it.

Definitely, Revolution. That kills the ear mites and any other pests, internal too. We have one feral inside we still can't touch but snuck up on her while she was sleeping and shot the back of her neck with a syringe of Revolution. She had earmites too. All gone.

Update. I got him tonight! Many sleepless nights and watching other cats go in and out of the drop trap. Sigh. He would not go under it. Finally tonight he did. The transfer was even trickier. He would not go into another small transport cage so we coaxed him into a large dog cage where he...

I visited my vet yesterday and explained my situation. He thinks "just a guess of course", that he may have a bite wound. Im skeptical since he's fixed but anyway, he gave me liquid Orbax and wants me to sneak it into his bowl and see if this helps him. He also said he thinks I should get him...

I have been feeding both indoor and outdoor cats Halo's Spots Stew Grain Free canned, BFF (Best Friends Feline) Grain Free Canned, and Tiki Cat canned. For dry they get Fromm Four Star Surf & Turf. This cat food is hard to find except online. It's made in America and never had a recall. The...

Thanks. I ordered this one. http://www.livetrap.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=30249 I really didn't find a lot of choices out there for drop traps but read that they work for trap savvy cats. So would you advise not to put the food under it the first day? Just let him get...

I have still had no luck trapping the injured cat. He still comes onto my porch every night to eat. He hasn't been eating much though. Just drinking goats milk for the most part. He's still holding up his left foot so I don't think its gotten any better. I just ordered a drop trap. It won't...

Get a scat mat. I bought one to keep the cats off my work station and kitchen counters. It works. It doesn't hurt them and I only had to put it there once. Cats are smart they learn quick. They are expensive. The cheapest I found one was on ebay but worth the money. Check amazon for the...

I posted about 6 months ago about tnr. I did trap and fix 1 mother cat, 1 tom cat and 2 kittens. We kept the mother and 2 kittens but released the tom cat after he recovered. My dilemma now is I need to retrap the tom cat. I have been feeding him for the last 6 months and he has been doing...

Update on my captured felines. Mama cat has recovered from surgery. The two remaining kittens have been trapped and we have had them now for about a week or more. The setup we have at the moment is 2 x-large cages connected together. They sleep in one and use the other for litter food and...

I called the vet and he said the same thing. He is stressed and I kept him too long. I did release him. He was happy to go. BTW that cat weighed 10 1/2 lbs. That was one big Tom cat. The female is only 7 lbs. They guessed them both to be between 1 and 3 years old.

I gave him pet pectin last night and this morning but he is still runny. He exploded all over his blanket last night. Yuk. Is there a certain diet I should be feeding him? Should I wait to release him til his diarrhea clears up? Also what is the best time to release him. I was thinking in the...

I had  a feral female and a male tom fixed. They both had the exact same meds. Revolution and Droncit Feline for tapeworm. The female is fine but the male has diarrhea. Is that normal?

Clipping the nails was wrong? Oh no. As far as the tests, they said we are not set up to do that. I have done all I can do. I will keep the female in for as long as I can. I may even keep her. Not sure yet. The 2 kittens finally came around last night. They were starving too. I will try and...

Ok, I got the 2 cats back today. They would not do the tests but they did give them all their vaccines. Ear tip and tatoo on the belly. Wasn't expecting the tatoo part. LOL. They also gave them the Revolution I left there for them. I got some tapeworm meds from my vet. I want to give it to...

Thanks yes, I was going to ask them to do the tests. It's the humane society thats doing it. They do the spay/neuter for free. Hopefully they will do it. I feel they just do the bare minimum but I could be wrong.

Ok. I finally got my trap in. I trapped the mama. Good thing too because a tom has been coming around her for the last few days now. She must be in heat again. I trapped him too. He's in a cage in the garage. He looks really rough. His face is pretty bloodied. I guess he has been in a few...
