I have come to this forum in search of answers to socialize a feral cat. First, I am sorry if this is the same situation as some one else, than by all means close this thread.
For the past few days, a kitten has been meowing at my house. The only catch is the kitten only is here at night. I have no idea were he is during the day. I tried to look at him (or her) this night through the window at 9:30 and he quickly ran off. He came back around 11:30 and my mom, too, glanced outside, and he ran off again. I've heard you must keep in sight when approaching a cat, which will be hard at night. I can't leave food out, because it will just draw the foxes and bears (and I can't watch the food or the kitten won't come) , which isn't good for me or the cat. Like I just mentioned, I have large animals near my house, and I'm afraid he will die if he comes in contact
. I really want to help him. Should I just ask the local humane society? Would they do something like this? Or is there another way a can get the kitten to not run away? I really have no idea what to do in this situation
Any advice is welcomed. Thanks in advance
