I lost both of my girls this year, and friends have been sending me pictures of all sorts of kitties needing homes. I'd been looking online and have found a couple I might be interested in, but haven't made up my mind yet and probably can't get them for another month or so anyway.
Someone I know who has 3 cats and has a relationship with a local rescue contacted me today about two feral cats that he plans to put up for adoption. Only one has been caught so far and he sent me video and photos. The other, who is either a sibling or just a close friend has not yet been captured (and is a bit more skittish).
He is planning to take both to the vet and have them spayed and checked. They are gorgeous, but I've not had any personal experience with ferals. I am not worried about the time it will take to get them acclimated - I am very patient and have a diploma in feline behavior - but I just don't know what to expect if I take them in, as I haven't worked with ferals.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, advice, and any resources you may I have that are good to explore.
