Hi!
I know there are a lot of posts about this topic, however, I wanted to explain my situation and want your advice and opinions.
A little over a year ago, we brought in 2 brother feral cats. They were 2 at the time. Just this week, Tuesday night, we trapped the last man standing, name is Roz He was NOT happy and miserable. We got him fixed on Wednesday and have a room set up for him, with his favorite houses that were outside and favorite sleeping accessories that were outside with him-for his smell and hopefully calm him. We have been taking care of him since he was a few weeks old. He is now 3 years old. We picked him up yesterday afternoon form the place that did his surgery and were advised that he had a bite wound on his head and hind leg and they gave us antibiotics for him, had ear issue, fleas and ticks and ready for this!!!! multiple bullets in his chest
The woman didn't seem concerned when we asked what should we do. It seems like he was shot awhile go and the bullets are just in his chest. A year ago, his mother was shot by someone and paralyzed and when we found her we took her to a vet and had to put her to sleep!
So, Roz never let us touch him and he would back up when we fed him and waited for us to go inside when he ate. He would sit outside our back door, like he wanted to come in. HE looked worn out lately. He was MISERABLE yesterday being at the vet for hours, with barking dogs and people talking loud. He isn't use to being close to others.
I haven't slept bc I stay up with him or watch him on our indoor NEST camera. I want to get another for our other cats, bc that was their camera NEST cameras are so expensive
Last night and this morning he stared growling and hissing at us. The first night he didn't make a sound. He would hiss at us when he was outdoors and came to close. Today, he did it more. He roams around the room. He tried all night to climbs the wall and climb up the window frame. And my boyfriend put a screen at the doors bc his step brothers are inside and use to hang out outdoors. We want them to get use to each other so Roz can get freedom to the whole house. He tried to climb the wall to our flat screen TV that's in there. I don't know what to do bc he is MISERABLE. ROMAING all night and day, you can see that he is trying to found an escape and he seems bored and lonely. I go in often and talk with him and give him treats and when I talk, he closes his eyes. Any advise on how to get him to stop climbing and trying to escape, how long will he continue to do this, how long will he cry and growl and hiss, we want to transition him and get him use to us. So, any advice on what I do to make this better for him
