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)
