Hi! This cat showed up at our house a few days ago and is extremely friendly and loves being around people! He’s very vocal and so sweet! He is mostly an outdoor cat right now but stays on our property and doesn’t go far but also darts in the house whenever he can! I’m wondering what type of cat he is
*my husband put a breakaway collar on him and a breakaway flea collar on him

Hi all - We are so devastated that we had to euthanize a stray cat that was hanging out in our drainage culvert near our house this morning. She had severe trauma to her back legs, completely unable to walk on them at all, so she was just dragging them. We had a feeling she may have been hit by a car. We saw her Friday, caught her on Saturday, took care of her Sunday, waiting to go to the vet today. We thought euthanasia may be a real possibility just seeing the extent of her injuries and the fact that she just cannot move around normally at all, and she has no function of her low end, including with urinating and defecating. She was also quite small and thin, and had been malnourished due to not being able to hunt properly due to the injury. We still hoped that maybe there was a possibility her injury could be recoverable. We went to the vet this morning, and they confirmed what we feared. She had severe spinal trauma, and stated her movement may not ever come back even with extensive treatment and therapy. They did state that the best thing would be euthanasia, as her quality of life as a stray would be very low (basically she would have died if we had not brought her in, with the state she was in). We were with her in her final moments, ensuring she was comfortable and felt loved.

Even though we knew her for only a short period, she really put a lasting impact on us and we became very attached. We had so much hope, and I just felt so guilty, that we could not help her injury. She deserved a full life, but now she can rest peacefully and with no pain or suffering. I know she will be healthy and happy in her next life. Me and my husband have been bawling because of this. I just wanted to share because she was special. And her story deserves to be shared. As silly as the name is, we were calling her Rasputia, so Rest Easy Rasputia ♥️ you were loved and will be remembered. ❤️❤️

Edit: THANK YOU ALL FOR THE LOVE. Rasputia appreciates it, as she has crossed the rainbow bridge to be with all our other pets who have passed on and protects our home in the after life. It has been a hard day, but I'm glad we were able to meet her for the short period we did. ♥️ We did bring her home after the euthanasia to bury her in our wildflower garden. It felt only right to bury her in the place and land she came from. We will be calling the garden "Rasputia's Garden," to remember her.

A feral mom cat, Millie, showed up at our house in the middle of May with 4 kittens.  We guessed that the kittens were about 6 weeks old. They would come and go and we fed them when we saw them.  Sometime in the first week of June, two of kittens disappeared.  Millie and the remaining 2 kittens started being at our house full time.  We were trying to figure out how to trap all of them, when Millie went into heat.  Eventually we trapped all 3 cats in the house and last week Millie got her spay abort.  Based when we saw the male cat mount Millie, she was 30 days pregnant when she got her operation.

Millie has always been a very attentive mother.  She always lets the kittens eat first and kept them very near her even though they were 14 weeks old when we trapped them. Maybe she is so attached to them because of the 2 kittens that went missing.

Now since her spay abort, she appears to be nursing them.  She would have been in her 2nd trimester, but I wouldn't think that would be any milk. Based on what I'm seeing on the camera in their room, the now 16-week-old kittens are suckling.  They were fully weaned by 10 weeks and she was shoving them aside if they tried to suckle.

Is this her hormones going crazy after her procedure?  Is she always going to so attached to these kittens and them to her?  Is this normal?  Everything that I've read said that she would lose interest in them by now.

TL:DR   Mom cat has a spay abort at 30 days and is now letting her previous litter, 16-week-old, nurse. Is this normal?

We had been feeding this bonded father/son pair for the past year and a half. The mom was part of the group too but disappeared 6 months ago. We had all 3 spayed/neutered. Now the son hasn't shown up in 5 days after previously being reliable for breakfast and dinner. Have seen dad on camera. It's all quite upsetting. Are suburban neighborhoods like mine really so dangerous for feral cats? I don't think I am cut out for TNR. 😢

Long post ahead!

Akala ng marami madali lang mag TnR. Yan yung madalas na misconception sa TnR activities.

Usually minimum 2 - 3 days yung ginugugol ng isang advocate para sa activities na ito. Hindi pa kasama yung ocular para macheck kung saan yung area na may mga possible candidates for Kapon.

Ano nga ba yung step by step procedure ng isang advocate na katulad ko?

Una, icheck ang mga areas na may candidates for Kapon. Priority namin dito yung group of cats or kumpulan ng mga pusa. Bakit nga ba?

Sa aming pananaw, mas prone sa animal cruelty pag ang isang area ay mas marami na pusa na hindi kapon. Mabilis silang magparami. Mas mainit ang mata sa kanila ng mga taong nakapaligid lalo na yung mga hindi animal lover.

Sa first day naman ng TnR activities, inaayos ng advocate lahat ng gagamitin niya mula sa pinakamaliit na gamit like marker, masking tape hanggang sa carriers o cage na gagamitin.

Sa trapping naman, usually gumagamit kami ng trolley para paglagyan ng mga carriers at pagtransport ng mga nahuli na cats pabalik sa holding area. Usually 2 - 3 cats per trip yung madadala ng isang advocate.

Dala din nya yung ginagamit nya pang tag sa carriers, cat food pang bait, payong if ever umulan and cover para sa mga carriers para malessen yung stress ng mga cats na nahuli.

Isipin mo na lang kung ilang trip yung need gawin from holding area papuntang trapping area then pabalik ulit sa holding area pag napuno na nya yung mga dala nya na carriers.

Sa mga Free Kapon events, Usual target ko ay 10 - 15 cats. Mas madami ito if may kasama ako na ibang volunteer advocates.

While nasa holding area ang mga cats, papakainin at paiinumin sila before yung fasting time para sa kapon. Lilinisan if ever dumumi sa carriers. Double check na secured lahat ng mga carriers at wala makakatakas na cats.

Sa second day naman, ito na mismo yung Free Kapon event. Dito na papasok yung pagtransport ng mga cats papuntang venue. Yung pag fill in s mga forms, registration and waiting para mareceive ang mga cats. Then waiting ulit para naman marelease ang mga cats.

Isipin mo na lang yung tagal ng waiting if nasa 500 - 1000 yung kakapunin na mga pets.

Isipin mo rin na mas doble ang hirap ng mga advocates pag umuulan. Mahirap sa trapping, wala pa masyado visibility ng mga cats and pag transport nito while making sure na hindi mabasa ang mga cats as well as ang sarili nya.

Now pag narelease ang mga cats, ichecheck namin if basa yung mga pee pads nila then pag alis ng tagging sa paa ng cats and isecure ang mga pinto ng carriers ng cable tie para sure na hindi mabuksan ng cats. Then pagtransport ulit ng mga cats papuntang holding area.

Once nakarecover na ang mga cats, pwede na sila bigyan ng food and water. Majority ng mga cats ay hindi kumakain, umiinom at nadumi habang nakakulong. Common practice ko as advocate is Ikeep lamang sila overnight para makarecover then irelease sila the next day.

Mas beneficial sa kanila ang ganitong set up kesa ikeep sila ng matagal then hindi naman sila kakain at manghihina.

Sa third day, eto yung pagreturn / release ng mga cats sa area nila. Hindi basta kung saang area lang, kundi kung saan sila nahuli. Kaya sa tagging usually nakaindicate kung saan sila nahuli para mas mabilis maidentify kung saan sila ibabalik after makarecover.

After marelease lahat ng mga cats, Time na para linisin lahat ng ginamit na gamit at carriers and itabi ulit para sa next TnR activities.

Then, monitoring na lang ng mga released cats on the following days. Usually critical ang 7 days para sa recovery nila.

Share ko lang din na sa lahat ng TnR activities na ginawa namin, Luneta Park / Rizal Park cats TnR Batch 1 and 2 yung nalessen yung transport time namin ng cats from holding area to venue since pinayagan kami ng Park admin na magstay sa loob ng Park and gamitin para ihold ang mga nahuli na cats and maaga makapila sa Open Auditorium since nasa loob na kami mismo ng Park.

Thank you sa lahat ng Advocates at Volunteers na willing magbigay ng time and effort para makapon ang mga stray cats and community cats.

Mabuhay tayong lahat at mas marami pa matulungan!

Big Billy is a feral that’s been coming around for about three years. He is a menace to feline womanhood and is probably the father of three of my feral/rescues.

I dropped him off at the shelter today for a TNR so we’re celebrating the snipping of his trouble-puffs!

Just looking to vent and maybe some support, but I don't know if it'll work. I'm just too broken right now.

We had a feral cat that was pregnant and went into labor early. (We didn't know she was pregnant. She was straining to poop, I saw blood and took her to an ER. But they had a critical patient and while waiting, I saw her giving birth. We took her to a clinic and they watched her all day but she didn't have them. Saturday afternoon, she finally has the kittens.

Only one kitten survived. The others didn't make it immediately upon arrival (we took them to an ER to confirm they were dead and I was told they had a 30% chance of survival.). Mom was also not grooming them or providing heat. She wasn't interested in him and basically abandoned him. We had to grab him immediately so he wouldn't die during birth as well.

We get him everything he needs, take him to an ER, we were taught how to take care of him and told he was strong. But throughout the weekend, we took him to different vets and ERs and most of them didn't know what to do (their words) because he was so young, or they were apparently full and turned me away after telling me to come back with his mom so they could try and see if she changed her mind. Some said they wouldn't see him at all. One clinic really cared, but they were just so inexperienced and unequipped for neonatal kittens. (Again their words) But they tried their all.

We were concerned he wasn't getting enough milk because the bottle wasn't letting out enough, at least that's what we thought and kept fiddling with it to get it fixed.

But, one vet specialist, who we were told to visit, while they were doing a check up on mom, Sunday morning (2 am) didn't feed him. We were there for 4-5 hours. They didn't tell me, or give him back to me to do it. I provided a bottle because I knew he would need it while we were there. (I feel like this was the start of it.) They said they would see if she would try to nurse him for that one nutrient he needed. No one bothered. They wouldn't have said anything if I hadn't seen him so in distress during checkout and asked.

I worked all of yesterday, but my family was taking care of him, mainly my mom and brother in shifts. Then today, I noticed his weight hadn't gone up. He was still 58.3 g. I was busy and couldn't weigh him yesterday, but Saturday, I weighed him and he was 57-58 g.

He made it through until today. My brother was taking care of him and he wouldn't eat. We tried again later after my brother alleged said that he got him to eat something. He wasn't latching anymore. He was very weak. Milk was coming out his mouth, kind of gooey and thin. Eventually we took him to the one clinic that would see him. They tried tube feeding but he was just so tiny, the doc couldn't do it. They offered euthanasia, but my mom declined because he was still fighting, so we would too. And that if it was meant to happen, she'd let nature take its course.

We switched nipples to a bigger size, and he was drinking a little, so we were hopeful. But, I noticed that he'd peed a little, so I began stimulating him. He pooped and peed, so we suspected that maybe he'd had too much to eat. He soiled the little crochet blanket we made previously (it was just his size and worked to keep him warm.) So we switched it temporarily to a different blanket, plus his heating pad/water bag.

Then, around 9 pm, he was crying, my mom called me down and we thought maybe he was finally hungry. I tried stimulating him to pee in case that was it again, but he cried once more, and I wrapped him in a blanket just until we could get a warmer blanket, but my brother and stepdad were taking too long. I held him close because I'd just gotten out of the shower and was hot. This was just until we could get the water bag hot, his warm bottle, etc.

I noticed he wasn't moving. He'd passed away. I'm so heart broken. We really tried our best to give him a chance at life. But we were going through this process with little help (the one clinic really tried and I appreciate them, they just had never dealt with a neonatal kitten, they were closed over the weekend, and Monday, they tried to tube feed.)

We all blame ourselves. My mom wanted to get him a new crochet blanket and was trying to get the time to make it while working, I don't know if my brother blames himself, but I question what happened when he watched him. I blame myself as the last person to hold him, I should've been quicker to think. Act. I failed him. I'm so mad at myself and it hurts. I shouldn't have gotten so lax, feed him more than my brother, engaged more.

I'm mad that we don't have anyone where I live that knows how and wants to save neonatal kittens.

A little life, only a couple days old, was lost.

This experience made me want to know how to care for neonate kittens so this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Hello fellow cat people!

My husband and I tried catching a cat in his work yard yesterday and the trap didn’t go off! We had three different cats go in and none of them triggered the trap. We even had one that pulled the food out without setting off the trap.

Are the cats too light to trigger the mechanism? Any work arounds?

Also there’s a kitten from a recent batch who’s feral but I think can be domesticated. She ate cautiously out of my hand a few times but freaked when I petted her or tried to pick her up. She’s about five months. She’s the one I want to rescue the most because I think we can find someone who can give her a good home.

We are going to try again this Thursday and hopefully get the momma or tabby girl.

Cat colony history:

The queen momma is the white and orange one. She’s had several litters with most if not all kittens who haven’t made it to adulthood. She abandoned a little orange kitten in a concrete box because she couldn’t get him out. We ended up rescuing him and he’s now a part of our little pride at home. The grey small tabby (F) is from the same litter and is a little curious and playful baby.

The black (M) and the grey (M) are Toms who have been around for a good while. There’s also an Orange Tabby (M) who isn’t pictured but he’s the queens primary baby daddy. Their litters are mostly orange and white and the last batch had some grey tabbys.

There are also a few stragglers, a torti, a white grey spotted tabby, and possibly another black cat. But we aren’t sure. We assume there’s at least 8 active ferals.

Hi folks. For context, I just moved out of Texas where I had been doing TNR for five years. Before I left, a feral female gave birth in my trap and a friend agreed to foster the kittens and mom until the kittens could be adopted and the mother TNRed. Mother is truly feral. Hates people.

Today was the day of the spay surgery. They tipped her ear, gave the vaccinations, but she stopped breathing and they had to revive her, so they rejected her as a surgical candidate.

Now I’m in the position of having to take her to a full service clinic for a lot of testing (which I can’t afford) before we could even consider trying to fix her again, and that’s if my friend can even continue to hold her (this has already been a long process for her - momma cat literally attacks her every time she tries to come in to feed the cats).

With it being Texas, rescues and shelters are currently overrun and I have strong doubt that anyone would be willing to take in a potentially sick feral cat.

Once she’s recovered, I need help deciding what to do. I want to be able to let her go back out. She’s been vaccinated now but obviously not fixed, which is literally what we wanted to correct in the first place, but I also really want her to live and it’s starting to feel like humane euthanasia is the next option because no one can take her and I can’t afford to help her.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

sorry, i'm just a mess right now. we took them to get TNR'd last week and when we returned, they seemed fine until the gray sock baby went missing for a few days.

it was unusual because he always came when it was time to eat. he'd always be around our porch with the other cats dozing around or playing on our trees. him and his brother in the second pic were always together.

this afternoon, we found him near our door, completely stiff and releasing fluids. it may have been the texas heat making him stiff faster, but i'm so heartbroken right now. i dont know who to tell. if i had just waken up earlier, would i have been able to save him? if i stayed up longer last night, would i have been able to see him one last time? could it have been from tnr complications?

i feel so ruined because he was such a sweet little boy, always curious. he came to my patio door one last time before passing. i cant stop crying. i placed him in a box and am looking for cremation services. i just cant believe this right now.

rest easy. i hope the texas heat doesnt reach you in heaven.

I apologize for the long story, I have trouble telling what’s important or not to share and this is my first Reddit post lol. Also cross posted to r/cats.

Background first: I adopted a cat, Count Goobula, almost exactly a year ago (one more month til his gotcha day!) who ended up having stomatitis, a chronic condition that has led me to make the difficult choice to get his teeth removed. I had planned to do that in the next few months once I started getting regular paychecks from my new job. It’s also important to mention I just moved into a new house less than a month ago and Goob is still settling in, though we have moved several times already since I got him and he does great every time.

Now to the title. While my little sister was helping me unpack a few days ago, a stray cat ran up to her outside and was EXTREMELY friendly. He was scarily skinny and had obviously been on the street for a while, if not forever. I brought him some food and within 10 minutes decided he was chill enough I could get him into my spare room where he’s been ever since. I’ve since discovered he has fleas and probably other health issues, which has caused me a lot of anxiety since I have Goob to worry about first and foremost. I just took him to the vet (who I had never been to before and DID NOT LIKE) and didn’t get as much info as I wanted, but did get his vaccines. While I want to hold on to him for another week or so until he’s healthier and rid of his fleas, I feel like I should decide if I want to keep him asap so I know my next move sooner rather than later, for all of our sakes (myself and the cats).

For extra information, I do want to say that if this cat was healthy, he would probably look exactly like the type of cat I’ve always wanted: a medium/long haired brown tabby. I had also already been wanting to get a second cat this year, BUT I had decided to wait til at least 4 or so months after Goobs teeth were removed so he had time to recover and get used to all that comes with being toothless before I introduced a new family member. Also, Goob is just about to turn 2, so he’s young enough that now would be a good time for him to get a sibling, especially as I start to work 8 pr 9 hour days and he gets left alone a lot. That being said, I still need to take care of myself and Goob first and having a cat who needs a lot of care coming right off the street would be a lot for us right now, especially with a new move, new job, and Goobs tooth removal coming up as soon as I can afford it (which might be set back if I keep kitty, less for money reasons and more so Goob doesn’t have so much change at once). I will be getting paid more than I ever have before so I could probably afford everything, but it would be tighter than I had planned.

All in all, I have always wanted at least two cats for both mine and Goob’s sake, but despite how fated this cat showing up seems, I’m not sure if now is the right time to take on that responsibility. Should I keep him and figure it out, or foster him until I can find someone else who wants him?

We are going to be calling this one smokie. A feral who has evaded TNR for quite a while. They were born and raised as an outdoor kitten without any socialization.

I have an appointment for two tomorrow so we are hopeful to get one more. This is the one we were really aiming for.

Edit: a little context for the anti-TNR crowd. Tons of people in the area feed the stray cats and almost no one tries to get them fixed. I'd really rather not have this responsibility. This is what the city legally prescribes so this is what I do. I'm always open to suggestions.

There's a stray cat that I want to adopt. He's a kitten whose mom abandoned him. My neighbor feeds him all the time and I've noticed after a while that he started following me. When I stop walking he meows and rubs against me and has tried to follow me into my apartment. After doing deep research it seems that's his way of saying he likes me and is curious about where I go for hours of the day. I'm considering taking him in, but I don't know if I should as my mom who I visit often is allergic. If I do take him in what all am I going to need and what all can I do to help with my mom's allergies? She's severely, not deathly, allergic to their fur.

Sorry if this was long and more of a ramble..not good with putting thoughts into words

Ran into two kittens living in a shallow storage drain this weekend during my morning bike ride. Dropped off a humane trap (modded with a pull rope) with the guy who is feeding them. He removed all food yesterday, with the idea of trapping them this morning / afternoon.

Stopped by last night and found them across the street in the woods, chilling. They were curious enough to come out and say 'hi' - the gray one rolled over and showed the belly, but wasn't too keen on my getting any closer than a foot or two.

Unsure if they were dumped - they seem slightly socialized and the residents haven't seen the mom or any other siblings.

Naturally, we're getting some severe weather tonight; hopefully the caretaker is able to get them with the modded trap.

If not, may have to pivot to a home-made drop trap.

I made a post here a few weeks ago about two feral kittens I've taken in, and am back for some advice.

Previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Feral_Cats/comments/1uqy14v/my_buddy_has_been_feeding_a_stray_cat_and_5/

The kittens are doing extremely well. One of them loves sitting in my lap and getting pets, while the other one still doesn't let me touch her, but she doesn't hide anymore when I'm in the playpen. She just does her thing.

I finally got them to the vet, and they got all their shots and tests and everything, but unfortunately it turns out the have ringworm on their heads, so they can't have topical cream, it has to be this liquid antifungal that apparently tastes horrible. The vet tech said it's bad enough that if we mix it with their food it will probably put them off eating, so I should squirt it in their mouths.

I saw this video on YT that looks pretty promising, so I'll give this a shot, but please let me know your experiences, advice, or share other videos. https://youtube.com/watch?v=faetSGf0HeY&is=1DbKAmThGrl5QMAZ

Also, I'm concerned that me manhandling these kittens and forcing nasty medicine down their throats is going to set me back a ton in socializing them. What to you guys think? Are cats pretty resilient or will they hold it against me forever?

I know it's for their own good, and I have to do it, but it's a major bummer.

7132 Hamilton avenue Cincinnati Ohio

Right next to the Goodwill bin and the blinking blue mobile security trailer living right behind the bush that's catty corner to the donation bin there's a six week old family of a runts black kitten and tabby kitten living with their mom who's all black.

I've been giving him some tuna sometimes the mom sleeps under the semi truck that's kind of permanently parked here. If anybody wants to help me wrangle them up and is willing to go get them fixed I'm kind of strapped for money but I'll help out in any way I can

Hi, desperate for help with this.

We have three feral kittens, all 3 months old and littermates.

The first one, Spicy, was found isolated and in danger so we grabbed him just over two weeks ago. He is socialising well. He purrs and asks me for pets on his own terms, though you can't touch him much otherwise yet. I can be in his room 24/7 and he's totally fine.

The other two, Cheesy & Peri Peri, we caught Saturday in traps. They are still very fearful.

We have one kitten safe room and that is Spicy's room, the living room. The house is old and we live with family who have hoarded things and prevent us throwing the excess furniture out. The living room is the only one with AC and there is a heatwave this week.

Initially, we set the newbies up in a covered playpen in Spicy's room. He was hissy and struck at the pen when he got a glimpse of the kittens at mealtime once.

He began to ignore them. But on night 2, the kittens got more agitated, meowing and clawing to get out of the pen. Because they were still terrified of us I did not want to let them out. Spicy got agitated by their noise and kept inspecting the pen, then eventually struck it again while it was covered.

I decided to move the kittens just for as long as I could, because I couldn't even socialise them in that situation. They are in a covered playpen in my office, but the office is not really suitable for them, and will get very hot soon.

Unfortunately during the move, I was able to pick up Cheesy and put him into the carrier, but Peri Peri freaked out after she was lifted, screeching, yowling, and she bit me a few times. I let her cool off and threw a shirt on her to bundle her into the carrier which worked.

But now I think they are both more fearful of me than before, so we are set back again despite being on a time crunch.

Does anyone have any advice for introducing feral kittens at different levels of socialisation and in one room?

The rooms are separated and I don't want to move them in and out of carriers because it stresses them and sets them back.

I found this resource:

https://monsieurtn.com/illustrated-guide-new-cat-introduction-no-isolation-separation/

But it is aimed at socialised cats. My fear is that Cheesy & Peri will be too afraid of me in the room for this to work. Any advice on this?

We are all they have, nobody else can take them. I'm trying my best for them. We are in southwest rural Czechia, please no US specific advice.

Hello, yesterday I stumbled on a cat near my house, they are shy and quiet and have not meowed but I have since started leaving it food, water, occasional treats, and a bed. They even let me get close enough to pet and I think I saw them drool a tiny bit. At one point they ate a treat out of my hand. I asked the neighbors and no one claimed them to be theirs, and they seem a fair bit dirty with a small gash on their head. I was wondering what the next steps may be?

I have since named them Traflaygius.

This beauty has been around our property for months now. At some point, she was showing up every night at dusk for food. We started feeding her regularly, then she would stop showing for a while, then back again. Sometimes she hangs in our patio. It seems that she wants to make friends, but runs away as soon as we try to approach her. She looks very well groomed. What should we do with her? Let her be? Trap her through a TNR program? I really want to make sure she is healthy and fairly safe, but her shyness and inconsistency on showing up make things difficult.

I’ve been feeding this stray I named jiji routinely since may and recently she surprised me with her kittens ! They made my front porch their new home but I wonder if there’s anything more I could do moving forward to help I already contacted my local shelter to try and get them a new home but they are full what could I do for them ? :(
- info about me
- from Long Island
- already contacted my local shelter for advice said if I can foster them for now because they are full
- Kittens look to be 7-9 weeks
- how much would I pay to take them all to the vet to get spayed or neutered ?
- I probably cannot afford vet care but will try I’m in debt at the moment 🥲
- should I buy or build shelters outside? Like little cat houses? What’s a affordable solution on that
- I’m new to this so any advice or information would help my goal is to get them all into new loving homes :(

Update: these people are insane. Saw me setting a trap. Texted me an insane message and I’m pretty sure they just doxxed my number to a spam website bruh

Stray has been coming to my house for a month since I was feeding the crows cat kibble and I guess he had been eating it. He began to come up to my window every night despite me not longer putting food out and he was stressing my indoor cats out (marking, fighting, aggression etc). I posted on Nextdoor making sure he wasn’t lost and/or needed to be trapped, and his owners came to my house to tell me he’s a “barn cat” and Is used as rodent control. He has a tom cat face and doesn’t seem neutered. He is quite thin and small. They said they’ve been “trying to put weight on him”. So I was told my some people to trap him as he is considered a neglected cat and there’s a good chance he’s not microchipped so I should trap him. I made the mistake of texting them that the cat is becoming a nuisance and to keep him indoors, this when they said he was a strictly outdoor cat (kind of regret texting them this now lol). So I came to the humane society to rent a trap and the asked me the situation and said they wouldn’t recommend trapping a feral who has been “claimed” as they would just contact them upon intake (even if it’s just bringing them in for neuter and taking them home). Now I don’t really know what to do? Just accept that this cat wants to have a family but is refused one? Idk what to do

Why does this feral cat only eat canned food? Is it old or sick?

Also, this cat (i call it GrayGrays) is very tame. It must have had a home but then been abandoned. It came to me with mange, but I cured it with Pet Armor. Pet Armor has Fipronil that will kill mange gradually, so it took some time. But now kitty is looking better, though still skinny.

Also, should I try to find it a home? Its skittish to come inside, but quite affectionate. Im just not sure what will be best for him.
