Tigger is the male tabby in the background. We started out with 15 ferals and found homes for 7, two stayed at the farmhouse and we have 5 in the basement. Poor tigger is the only one who will not tolerate you coming close, stiffens when you do pick him up, if you can etc. The odd thing is that when he is sleepy on his perch you can scratch him and pick him up. He love to play, especially Da Bird but not too close to you. We have also tried the phermone route with no success.
Currently we are trying him, by himself in the kitchen in a covered wire dog pen with litter box, food and blanket. We talk to him, open the door and scratch him, hold him, etc.
Anybody have some good remedies to help him get over his fear and socialize him?
He and his great buddy Minie deserve a good forever home, which is our goal but he has to be calmed down and more social before he can be adopted.
Thanks from Tigger, Minie, and the garage gang
