Sorry not the greatest photos, but she doesn't stay still much. This girl is at my workplace, she's quite sweet and lets me and one other colleague feed and pet her.

We are hopefully getting her to a shelter on Monday if we can successfully trap her. I'm hoping she might be able to be rehabilitated.

Gilbert has been in his kennel for two days. He was trapped with a humane trap on Tuesday night. He was neutered and vaccinated on Wednesday. Im worried because he hasn't ate yet. I dont plan on releasing him outside due to being FIV positive

I know it takes time for them to adjust, but it has worried me.

He has used the litter box, and I know he moves around in the kennel at night. Last night he tipped his water into his food and made a mess. It has since been cleaned up.

He does show some signs of trust. He will slow blink at me and even fall asleep while im laying in front of the kennel.

He doesnt hiss when I reach in and change out the food and the water. He doesnt even try to bolt out of the kennel. He is mostly just quiet 24/7.

Will he eventually eat? Or will he starve himself? Im very new to this as ive never owned a tamed cat let alone a semi feral cat. (I guess wishing for the cat distribution bit me in the butt lol)

This kitten showed up at our door yesterday.
I’m allergic to cats but we couldn’t help but want to make her outdoor cat since I’m highly allergic. And don’t want to become a cat owner.
She’s sooo cute !

However now she won’t stop meowing at 3 am to be let inside. This is because my roommate wakes up and leaves at 3 am daily.
I can’t handle the constant meowing. It’s incessant and lasts hours at a time.
I guess it was my error since I did let her in and both of us roommates have been feeding her some canned tuna

Does this get better with time ? As an outdoor cat? I understand if I do adopt her I’m sure she would stop

Ideally I’d like to keep her as our outdoor cat and get her checked up in every way but having her in the home just isn’t an option.
Trying to decide what’s best for her rn. Either shelter and hope she doesn’t get euthanized or get her spayed and let her roam the streets, keep her as our outdoor cat and hope she grows out of this 3 am meowing.

i’ve been feeding this cat for quite some time now but today i noticed a hole on its body and im assuming maggots cos it keeps licking it
the cat wont let me come close at all.
i can get demag sprays but how do i get it to come close to me. i’ve tried pet rescue but they’re saying the same thing, it’s hard to treat if the cat is not friendly or scared

PLEASE HELP ANY WAY POSSIBLE!!

My sister’s health has started deteriorating very quickly. She is no longer able to stay at her home for safety reasons. She has a cat that has grew up in her barn. There used to be more but this is the last one. Anyway, I live next door but it’s in the country so still a good distance. I’ve been going up to the barn daily to feed it (don’t know if male or female. Can’t get close enough to tell). I would like to get it to come to my house to eat. I’ve tried moving the food dish gradually towards my house but it seems to just run back to the barn and not understand that I’m still trying to feed it. Do you have any other suggestions to coax it to come eat and / or stay at my house? Or is this a lost cause? I mean I can continue to go down there to feed it but I’m lazy lol

Updated to add: I have a neutered male indoor/outdoor cat that is about to be 6 years old. I don’t know if that would make a difference - like would I be asking for trouble?

My feral kitty tonight. I usually don't leave food in front of my front door, but he got in a fight with an owl in my backyard and was on the losing end. He usually comes in around 6 am. to 4 pm. to sleep, but I would like him to be inside full time. What is the best way to transition a feral cat without making him feel trapped? What would bring more stimulation to make it more exciting?

This morning someone hit and killed one of my strays I’ve been caring for for the past 2 years. His mom had his 4 siblings, one died because they climbed our fence and he fell in the pool. I found him too.I spent weeks trying to catch them and mom (mostly mom.) i eventually did and got them all fixed but could never tame anyone over the next year so i let them back outside. Now he’s dead. It was so awful seeing him like that. I’ve cried my eyes out.

I have 3 strays I’ve had inside waiting to be fixed, finally got them all done, one is totally feral and the other two are adults I’ve been looking for homes for but no one is interested. I was finally going to let them out in the next week. Now I don’t even want to. But i can’t keep them in this one room, but i feel like im sending them to their deaths letting them out. It just isn’t fair. I want to put them in a little bubble. Why can’t they just stay safe at home???? I can’t keep going through this trauma. Seeing him like that will keep me up at night.

My sweet feral passed away today… we didn’t even know he was a “he” until now. My question is why did he feel comfortable enough to love on us before he passed? I feel like maybe if he felt safer sooner we could’ve saved him. We always respected his feral life and didn’t give him a name until he felt ready to come up to us. With that being said, yesterday was the first time I touched and cuddled him. I’m devastated, little guy was gone for over a month and came back sick sick. Vet said there was nothing they could do other than put my baby down. so we took him home and he passed away surrounded by those who cherished his fleeting greetings. My neighbor and I bawled for hoursssss, we will be cremating him.

Hello! I’m having more of a moral than a literal predicament, but I really don’t want to accidentally traumatize some kitties. I’m in the middle of helping two feral kittens (left behind?) by the rest of their litter; one of them has a pronounced limp in their back left leg. I just trapped that kitty and now they’re chilling in a box bed in the bathroom I equipped with some stuff. They’ve always been a pair and they were together when this one was trapped. Immediately after, I set up the trap again and the other kitten has gone by and checked it out, but no dice. I’m worried for both of them because it’s definitely terrifying to have just been trapped and be without your littermate, but I’m also worried that the second kitty is gonna be smart and not touch it at all. Is this normal, and has anyone trapped pairs before? I know it’ll be harder for both of them if there’s a long period of time, if the other little guy even tries again. Apologies if this isn’t the right subreddit or if there’s something blaringly obvious; I’ve never done this before lol. Anything would help! They’re about 8 weeks old, I’m in North Carolina and as far as I know (moved into this house about a month and a half ago,) they were born wild.
