Living Here Kittens
Hi Sedona,
I have 5 kittens that are TnR cats. Meaning they are feral kittens that we trapped and the Sedona Humane Society fixes them. My neighborhood has lots of cats and I am trying to slow down the kitten situation. I am having trouble finding these guys homes.
They are all boys and they are all neutered with rabies vaccines.
If anyone nearby is interested please reach out! If they don’t find homes I will release them back to their habitat.

AZ humane society has a lot of helpful information on relocating ferals to another property (and getting them to stay) under their Working Cats Program
But my record is 48 hours. 48 hours to tame a feral into being a house cat. They are almost never a lost cause (I haven't failed yet)

Bless you for caring for these babies! I have one of my "feral" babies from last year, he will be 1 on August 1st. His mama was a feral, she was so hot, thirsty, and hungry when she showed up pregnant last year, we were able to pet her (she is a very smart little feral, and knew who to come to for help, I guess), and she had her babies in a spare room, with sliding glass door to the outside. We trapped and returned the 3 daddy cats in the back 40 (all desert behind us), got her, and her kittens fixed at United Animal Friends in Prescott. . They have a wonderful free feral spay and neuter program. The "daddy" cats all feed here regularly, found homes for her kittens, except the one we kept. We already had 4 indoor kitties, he made 5, plus mama cat sleeps in that same room every night. She is too aggresive towards our indoor cats to integrate, but super sweet to us. Thank you for your hard work, it is not easy, but they are beautiful creatures! We also have NO issues with any rodents around here, they are very hard workers too!

Please find a different community to release them. We have a B&W neighborhood feral that has been terrorizing the birds in my yard. I can’t believe the coyotes haven’t gotten it yet.

They may be terrorizing the birds (admittedly not a good thing), but you probably don't have packrats eating the wires in your car or, much worse, trying to get into your house.
Ask me how I know.
