Thank you so much. Yes I am. I slept last night for the first time in a long time. It's tough because he's a really sick boy, but at least he's safe and has a full tummy.I am so glad that you caught him!!! This neighbor certainly might be someone with whom to cultivate a friendship. As for the vets, it is the same here. One of my vets will not do ferals, but they have never been rude about it and I have been forewarned. The other one will take in any feral at any time for treatment and if they are in a trap (Havahart) will give them a sedative shot by tipping the trap so that they lean a little bit to one side.
You must be so completely relieved and happy that at least Charlie has care and safety.
I was thinking just now that a tactful thing the vet employee could have said was "we're sorry, we just don't have the equipment to treat a feral cat" and at least faked some empathy. I sent a letter to the vet - I'm hoping it's something he'll address with the employee and call me about.
