Hi,
About 3 weeks ago I trapped a feral cat that I had been feeding for several months. I had her spayed/shots and found a temporary home for her. The woman who took her put her in a room by herself w/ food, water, litterbox etc. Now this poor kitty is so scared that everytime her foster mom walks in the room, she gets scared and literally tries to climb up the walls, she has also banged up against doors and the foster mom is scared she will hurt herself. I don't know exactly how old this kitty is but I'm guessing around 2 years, I don't think she has ever had a home. The foster mom is giving her back to me and I am going to release her back into the woods in the back of our house. I am going to be moving soon, but I want to continue to feed her up until we move and am trying to find someone in our neighborhood to feed her after we leave (I have not had much luck yet). My question is, do you think she will come around again to be fed after she is release or will she be so scared that she will stay away? I feel so bad for this poor little cat. I am keeping her 9 mo old kitten who I also trapped and she seems much more socialized than the mom. I am hoping that I can eventually get her to the point that she will be ready for adoption.
