so here's the story:
A little over a month ago, I noticed that one of the feral cats (about 8 months old) around my condo had an injured leg and he was limping around. I trapped him, so I could help him recover and then neuter-release.
However, I found out that the leg had probably been broken at the elbow, but then healed the wrong way. so basically he had a leg that couldn't bend and that's why he was limping. Obviously I couldn't release him like that.
Although he was very afraid of humans when I first got him, over the weeks he has mellowed. However, sometimes he still shies away from human contact and hisses at me when I try and pick him up. The plus side is that he loves to be cuddled and will purr loudly when I manage to get him on my lap for a cuddle :P
I've finally found a potential adopter for him (I can't keep him as I already have 2 cats+1 dog and live in a condo), but I'm still worried about whether he can ever be as tame as a typical housecat, even though I've already told the adopter that the cat isn't that friendly (yet).
AND a big WELCOME to TCS 
!!!! I also have a feral that once had a broken leg 
that healed crooked. Break's my heart at the pain they had to endure 
) this will only continue to develop into more trust on his part and realize HOW wonderful it feels to be loved by a human. Make sure you tell the new adoptor's that he will regress totally in a new environment and basically starting over. BUT the good news is - that he already knows how wonderful and kind human's are, so the process in the new home will move much more quickly than right after his capture. They must keep him in a small room to start and spend tons of time in that room with him. GOOD FOR YOU
