I adopted a former feral (who was declawed) , and he has urinated a few times on his cat bed and once on my comforter.  I ended up throwing the cat bed away, since he never uses it anymore and sleeps on a cat tree.  Although I've only had him for 9 months, he's never done this before.  I also...

I took in two ferals, an adult and a kitten, about 7 months ago.  The kitten is now about 8 months old, and I just recently added a dog to my household.  She is a very calm, sweet, 7-year-old pit mix that had previously lived with a cat (which is why I adopted her).  The kitten seemed kind of...

I have been in a deep depression now for almost a year.  I lost all 3 of my elderly dogs last year, and then, a few months after my last dog passed away, I found a feral cat and kitten in my local park.  I trapped for the kitten, and the feral cat was in the trap with the kitten. The feral bit...

I have never owned a cat before.  I found two black male ferals, took them in, and put them up for adoption.  The one feral has come around and is very social and friendly.  The other feral is sweet, but has taken a long time to get adjusted...and he is still extremely shy.   I am heartbroken...

I've never lived with a cat...ever.  I found a feral and a kitten, and after some tough months, we are finally in a better place.  The feral does not play a lot, but the kitten still wants to play.  A very wise person on this forum recommended Da Bird as a toy.  They both love that toy.  But I...

I have now been fostering a feral and a kitten in my house for almost 5 months.  The kitten has come around wonderfully.  The feral is to the point where he lets me brush him (for a limited amount of time), rubs against my legs, and sometimes (rarely) jumps on my bed.  But he spends most of his...

I have been working with a feral in my home for about 3 months now.  When I try to pick him up, he kind of jumps so I can't get a hold of him.  He once bit me, so I am pretty scared of him.  He is now roaming outside of his "safe room".  At night, I want him and the kitten to be back in the safe...

Help!  I have a wonderful potential adopter for my kitten and former feral.  To give you a short update, the feral was in the same trap as the kitten.  The kitten is now sociable and friendly.  The feral was very sick with lung worm for over a month.  He is now much better physically.  He bit me...

Ugh.  I cannot believe this, buy my former feral is throwing up again.  He was diagnosed with giardia and lung worms, took a de-wormer for 3 days.  And was much better for two weeks.  He has now begun throwing up again--and he has been strictly indoors with no other cats except the kitten, who...

To refresh, I trapped a kitten and in the trap was a one-year-old male feral.  Took him to vet clinic for neuter and shots, then took him home.  He bit me, so he went to my vet's for some therapy to make him less feral.  After about a month, I took him home.  He was throwing up everyday.  Got in...

I have a ticking time bomb on my hands.  I was trapping for a kitten, and a 1-year-old male feral was also in the trap.  After months of working with the feral, he is now healthy and I think I will have to keep him because he has bitten me before.  He is not very outgoing, is plain black, and I...

My former stray/feral cat is on his last dose of medicine for lungworms and giardia.  He has not thrown up in a few days (yay!).  However, I thought he would be coming out of the closet more, maybe playing with the kitten...but he is not.  He almost acts as if he is still ill.  Does the dewormer...

To refresh your memory, I am the dog person that trapped a kitten and got a bonus feral male in the trap.  The kitten has come along wonderfully, but the feral bit me, and then spent a month with my vet calming down and being petted, and he is now at my home and has issues.  My vet (whom I used...

I have a potential home for my foster kitten.  I adore him, and would love to keep him, but I found him with a feral, and the feral really does not play with him.  There is zero chance of finding a home for the feral...I've tried.  I have bought the  kitten toys, but I KNOW he'd really love a...

My feral is at the point where he is coming up to me and rubbing against me.  He loves head scratches.  I do it very gently.  But it always ends when he bites me.  This time, he broke the skin.  I am ashamed to admit this, but I am afraid of him.  Does anyone have any experience in this?  I...

I have a semi-feral cat and a kitten in my home.  This may be a stupid question, but it has been keeping me up at night.  How am I supposed to trim the feral's nails??  I can barely trim the kitten's nails, and he is a love bug.  In fact, our last nail trim was a total fail.  I cannot even...

I have three potential adopters for my kitten.  I cannot make a decision, which makes me think I should just keep him.  Family #1 seems great, but they have 2 dogs and a cat already.  Family #2 has two cats and seem to adore cats, but they live in a shady neighborhood.  I worry if the kitten...

I was playing with the kitten and feral tonight.  The kitten was engrossed in play, but the feral kept rubbing up against me...which I took as an excellent breakthrough.  However, after petting him on his head and body numerous times, I stopped.  He kind of jumped up at bit me!  I can see his...

I am literally sick to my stomach.  I found a kitten with a feral.  Got both fixed and vetted, and took them home.  Took the kitten to an adoption event, and a nice family is interested.  I still have the feral at my house...I've never had a cat in my life, much less a feral.  I am struggling...

I took a feral in, and he has been throwing up everyday for weeks.  I took him to the vet, nothing physically wrong with him.  Then, I switched his food...but he still throws up.  I've also started feeding him less, but more frequently.  That has not helped.  I don't think it is nerves because...
