    How many kittens to keep?

    We currently have 5 4-5 month old kittens. They were all brought in from our yard (4 feral, one stray) - all are pretty socialized but not 100%. 2 males and 3 females. How should I divide them, assuming I can find home(s)? They are all fixed. Both males are pretty snugly, so I'd like to keep...

    Trying to figure out if this feral Tom is fixed (pics)

    This boy cat hangs out sometimes with another feral that hangs around our house.  I got some pics of him today because he really looks like his ear is tipped (?) but when he got up and walked away, HELLO, quite a big bulge down there.  I know they don't remove the scrotum but it looks pretty...

    More feral kitten questions - expanding their horizons

    We have a sunroom that is closed off so I've been using that as the kitten room.  Over the past couple of weeks I've been opening the door to allow them to start to explore the house and 'meet' the dog.  None have done more than look at the dog from across the room, and 'luckily' for the...

    Oh my Goodness, ANOTHER kitten showed up at my house on Monday!

    I took in a litter of 4 kittens from my shed this summer.  They were very feral at first and are pretty good now, at least when they're in 'their' room (sunroom).  When they come out in the main house, which is pretty new to them, they are (I assume) more on high alert or something, because then...

    Litter boxes with doors

    I got the jumbo Catit litter box with the door.  I ended up taking it off because my 4-ish month old kittens didn't seem to understand the door and one got in and then was just sitting in there and I wasn't sure if it wanted to be there or if it couldn't figure out how to get out.  Should I...

    Issues with buying cat house used?

    I'm not sure if I should get a used "Kitty Tube"?  Any issues with it being used as far as diseases or smells from another feral cat? We have a shed, too, but it's further from the house and the cat likes to sit right outside looking in.  She's not 'feral' like I first thought she was but I...

    Kittens and old bird

    (excuse my daughter's fort in the background!) Our kittens are being let out of confinement of their one room to start exploring the house and meet our dog.  This morning one wanted to 'meet' our elderly finch - this bird is so neurotic/scared that it seems like it almost dies every time we...

    Will a semi-feral cat who chooses to approach you BITE?

    I have some kittens in my house that I 'stole' from the feral mom - mainly because she wouldn't let me near them and would hiss at me and scare the crap at me, lol!  She's been spayed and released and then, to my surprise, she's actually not quite as feral as I thought when not protecting her...

    Just tried clumping litter for the first time

    Total NEWBIE here with cats!  I've got 4 kittens and started with the Special Kitty clay litter - was working very well.  I actually dump it daily (don't flame!  I know it's not green!) and sanitize the box and was pretty happy with it but of course it's a wasteful system.  So I figured I'd...

    Brought in 4 feral kittens looking for advice

    I've had these kitties for about 7 weeks now.  They were about 6 weeks when I found them in my shed.  Mama was with them but chased me away hissing so I made the choice to trap mom and take the kittens so I could socialize them and get them in indoor homes.  Whether that was a good choice (?), I...
