I just wanted to pop in and say a quick hello. I have a pregnant feral cat, who I have yet to name, that is staying for awhile with us in our garage. We are keeping her seperate since we have 3 cats and a dog. I am currently working on trapping the rest and am doing TNR, but she is too far along for me to have waited on her. I figured the best chance to domesticate her and those babies will come from having her throughout this. Of course I plan on getting her fixed after she has finished her motherly duties and until then she is in a huge pen in the garage.
Up until she became pregnant she would not let me pet her... she was one of the many that kept a distance. Soon hunger overpowered that trait and she would let me pet her back while eating only. Now she is being loving as all heck. When I open the pen and crate areas to feed her she comes out now and rubs all up against me. I've felt her tummy... it is hard but a friend of mine from another site said that that is normal at this stage. Due to the fact that she is feral and at this critical stage I don't think that it would be beneficial to try and bring her in.
I wish I knew how far along she is... like I said she is waddling, her belly is huge and I see tons of movement in there.
Still trying to find a name that we like. No, we will not be able to keep her after fostering them all... I have the heart but we don't have the room or money for yet another. We can however do these things, foster and TNR the colony.
Kind regards,
Stacy
