I would like to know how old he is, as I'm not sure if he's too young to be taken from his mother (who lives with him in the basement right now). Or, if we do take him, how long to feed him the replacement milk powder stuff.
Also, any tips on domesticating him would be great! The house has 6 college guys living it in, so we're not sure how it would work out. Many are worried about taking the kitten from the mother cat. Others are worried it will make a mess. And others still are worried it would escape back outside with all the traffic coming in and out of the house. How can I alleviate these worries, and how would you recommend we socialize this cat with all these people that will be around.
If it's not possible in the end for us to take these cats in, should we take them into the shelter? One of them? Both? Would they be happier staying feral in the basement/in a college town that gets Minnesota cold in the winter?
I care so much about cats, it's really worrisome to me! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!!
