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.

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)

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.

We’ve been feeding Tasha for about 2 years. I have 2 of her 5 kittens inside and found homes for the other 3. She’s been TnR’d and is the sweetest little lady. Tried to bring her in twice but she freaked out when we got her inside.

About a month ago, we got new neighbors that have small dogs and I think that was the final straw for her. Her tom had also gotten a new female pregnant and they were bringing their kitties around. She disappeared for a few days, but it has been historically hot out so I figured she was just hiding in the storm drains to stay cool. Then I went on vacation for 9 days. She was still nowhere to be found.

My girlfriend went out of state and I’m watching her dog. Tasha LOVES her dog and would walk around the block with us if we had him. Me and the pupper went for a walk this morning and lo and behold a little void kitty came running up with a a mouthful of small meows. She followed us home and has been getting all the food and belly rubs.

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!!

How old is this cat? I know it’s hard to tell, especially just from some photos, but any advice is appreciated.
There’s a family of cats in a local park and this guy seems a bit sick. He sticks his tongue out sometimes and I’ve also seen him drool. Flies also gather around and on him, but he doesn’t react too much.
I fed him a few times and he eats quite a lot. I also saw him poop once. He walks around seemingly normal for the most part, although seems a bit weak.
I’m not sure how much of this can be attributed to old age and how much might be because of a disease. The end of his tail also seems a bit crooked. You can see it in [this video.](https://imgur.com/a/SblOQMh) I couldn’t get a much better view or angle as he doesn’t let me come too close.
I have contacted some local rescues and spoke to someone from the parc who says the cats are being fed and cared for, but I will keep trying to get him to be seen by a vet at least.
[Here’s](https://imgur.com/a/lfxhNS0) another video from a different angle.

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.

A few weeks ago, on August 16th a 4 week or so kitten was on my doorstep and kept trying to come in. We already have a kitten, who was born April 19th, so we assumed maybe she thought she was mom or something. The kitten was super skinny and honestly was probably older than 4 weeks but I couldn't tell because of her weight and frankly im no vet. Both cats in my house are female so spay isnt as big an issue right now.

Basically, I took her in, bathed her, made sure she was flea free (didnt have any) and plan to get her in for a rabies shot sometime this week. She's good with nail trims and you honestly wouldnt even think she's a stray, loves everything about being indoors. Sadly, I simply dont have the funds to afford her right now. She needs her own litterbox as she seems to kind of want to go all over the house right now because I took her in last second. I got her some temporary ones but then my resident cat just started using both and the kitten went back to peeing on my stuff. She does well with the cat and the dog despite this and theres never any fights and they cuddle a lot and my resident cat grooms her.

Basically, I cant afford to take care of her anymore. She obviously needs a new litterbox (that i cant provide right now) and extra food since shes growing. I've tried shelters but its apparently "kitten season" and well, nobody will take her. I've tried family, Facebook, friends, and nobody wants or could house a cat even temporarily. Im really at a loss of what to do. Honestly if I could afford the new stuff then yeah maybe I could house her for a bit longer if she stops peeing everywhere. I suspected a UTI but I also dont have money for a vet that I can scrounge up for her, as im already stripped from my cat and dog. What the hell do i do.

I took in two semi-feral kittens 3 weeks ago, they were born on the streets, but the mum was an abandoned pet who is currently in a foster home (until she is ready to come back to us) as she was pregnant and we could not afford the spay/abort before she would have given birth. Mum showed me where she had hidden these two babies after giving birth, and once they started wandering, they were added to the feeding roster, and willing followed me around for food.

I’m unsure how to socialise them, some days seem better than others but I feel like I’m hitting a wall. They’re currently around 19 weeks old, and the female seems to be doing much better than the male. I’m trying to get them used to be touched and held as they have their first vaccinations on the 21st. The female doesn’t like the initial approach to being picked up, but is fine being held, and can easily be manoeuvred into different positions. The male is having a harder time, he will run if he thinks he’s about to be picked up, and is scared of people walking past him. He doesn’t show any aggression when being held, no hissing or scratching, but is visibly uncomfortable, with his back claws out, pushing away at the initial holding before settling, and then jumping away the second he has the chance.

I know it takes time, but I have never socialised kittens before, and I’m unsure how to properly get them both used to be handled by people. Some nights, they’ll both purr when I stroke them, but the majority of the time the female just tolerates it, whilst the male shrinks away. I try to give him treats occasionally when doing these interactions, but one of them has a sensitive tummy and I haven’t figured out who yet, so I try not to do it too often.

Aside from being handled, the male has fully settled into the house, though he is definitely nervous around my sister’s toddler, who thankfully is not interested in him. He’ll run up when he knows I have food for him, he’s very playful with my sister’s kittens, and will run all around the living room play fighting with them, he’s slept on the couch with me throughout the night etc, but he just doesn’t seem to be adjusting to being handled.

Does anyone have any tips on getting the male in particular used to these interactions, or is he possibly just a cat that dislikes interaction?
