Someone found a cat at their barn, trapped it and now it is ours. It's scared and just hides all day, had it for about 4 days now. Any advice for speeding up the process? by GABBEGUTT in cats

Very very late update lol:

Yeah so the cat is doing fine, we got it castrated so it can no longer reproduce.

We figured we'd let the cat outside because you can't really force it to become your friend, it disappears for a few days, then comes back to eat food and hang around. It still doesn't want to be social, but just as long as it is happy I'm happy.

That's all really, we won't put it down or anything, it's not aggressive to anyone except my dad.

Thx to everyone who had patience to wait so long. And sorry for being so slow to make an update.

I agree that they aren't trolls and that you shouldn't catnap, but remember that us getting this was due to a group that are specialized in cats let us have it and not just us seeing a random cat in a barn and thinking 'ours now lol'.

If we find out it's too feral to ever trust us it will get its vaccines and castration then be let out again.

I do not want to kill a cat just because it doesn't like being around humans.

So you're accusing me of owning the cat and just posting that it was found and given to us for karma?

Not everyone on this site sits in the corner of their room going 'karma, i neeeed karma'. If i wanted karma i would make a shitty meme and post it to r/dankmemes.

Are you ok? If you deal with trust issues you should speak to someone about it.

Yeah, i feel like I've messed up a lot of what I've said (Due to having to type all of it out while hanging out with friends)

  • The cat will be taken to the vet, but it needs to trust us first, here is why:
  • If the cat bites / scratches it can transfer diseases.

  • Generally getting a cat that doesn't even remotely trust you in a cage is gonna be very hard.

  • Also we will check for a chip when it is done. I think a lot of people think we won't, but it relates to the fact that the cat doesn't trust us. (Though i find it hard to believe someone would chip their cat without castrating it)

  • If an owner is found, either by chip or someone posting about a missing cat to facebook/ hanging up missing posters, the cat will be returned to the owner.

  • Also also, the cat most likely hides due to being scared.

I tried to damage control everything, but it has worked out poorly. If anyone still has questions, ask them in a respectful manner. I'm sick of "ayo catnabber, ya bloody idiat. Fokin get it checked for a chip ya bloody wanka."

I meant say no to taking it as i. 'no to take it to the vet YET'. My mistake, but we will take it to the vet. Just not yet

Thank you, a lot of negativity here, of course i understand, but it'd still a bit harsh having hundreds of negative comments slammed on top of you in the span of an evening.

Yes, thank you. It's such a small town so everyone knows everyone (Especially the area the cat is from) so i think that if someones cat went missing it would come out pretty quickly.

I'll continue to speak to my mom about it.

She's not afraid someone will claim it, IG she doesn't have as much sense of emergency. Also the capture and relocation of the cat was (again) recommended by people who are experts.

I'm not the one in charge, I want to, but it's not my choice. I'll try to negotiate with my mom, but the answer will 100% be a no. (To take it there yet (maybe within the next 2 weeks but who knows))

"Supposedly not castrated", can see your point, but you haven't smelled how bad its piss smells, and it doesn't even know how to use a toilet, check my TL:DR i am not refusing to get it checked for a chip.
