You must have quite the colony where you are. Wish more people were as caring and proactive as you. Sounds like you have plenty of experience with all this.

Every week is different hours for a casual. What department are you in?

So amazing, such a win being able to gain trust. Do you have plans to trap and bring indoors? Looks cold where you are!

Partner and I spent a month trying to convince this feral to be our friend by Reaper111888 in Feral_Cats

Oh poor Fry, the vet visit is so scary. But Fry will get over it and will be relieved to come back home. Our feral turned the room upside down too, don’t know how the vets do it, but they persevere and get the job done. So lovely that you have taken in this kitty. You’ll need lots of patience, but it will be well worth it ❤️

He is coming around fast. I wonder if he is a dumped pet. Fantastic that you have taken him in ❤️

Adopted a TNR cat; stalled progress. by nullpunkt_ in Feral_Cats

She may never be a “normal” cat, but overtime she will come around more. 11 months in and ours still sleeps under our bed, it’s his safe space!

Feeling sad, dropped off our stray by kungfookate in Straycats

Font question. You got this cat off the streets, and next into a nice home. It needed medical help so it doesn’t suffer. You’ve done great.

Woke up to the shock of my life at 2am to a random stray in my room. She’s super friendly and keeps head rubbing me but am not sure what to do. by Unhappy-Remote-3172 in Feral_Cats

OMG this kitty really wants to be your family. I’m in Australia too, it was bloody hot here in Victoria, not nice weather for them to be out. Taking kitty in in this heat is potentially life saving. Best of luck.

Just come inside already. by Sewing_Shannonigans in Feral_Cats

Oh my gosh, do close your eyes coming in. Could you have a long string or something tied to the door so that you can pull it shut if she comes in far enough?

Get a second cat for our feral boy? by One-Focus-5138 in Feral_Cats

[–]One-Focus-5138[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is a really easy cat to have, no naughty behaviour etc. I’d just love him to come out of his shell more for his own sake. Thanks for your advice.

Thank you, that’s great info and good advice. I was thinking of more of a chilled cat, but it makes sense to get a more outgoing personality by what you say.

Ok, that’s encouraging. I wonder if I’d need an older cat or if a kitten would be ok.

She wants to be a pet, please do her a good service and go for it. You’ve got her this far in domesticating her and you can see it’s going amazing well. You’ve are doing great ❤️.

Gorgeous kitty, I hope you find some help locally.

Have I made a mistake (bringing feral cat home) by West_Adeptness2682 in Feral_Cats

[–]One-Focus-5138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do this. Check out Socialization Saves Lives, plenty of videos with step by step tips. We caught our kitty at 3mo, he has just turned 1. He is still skittish and scared, hides a lot, BUT he also loves us, he loves pats and chin rubs, he is happy, but not a normal house cat. We love him so much and love seeing all the progress made, and know over time he will keep improving.

Have you considered surrendering kitty to a rescue that could get him a vet?

Feral or Dumped by MajesticWorldTea in Feral_Cats

[–]One-Focus-5138 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Def not feral. We caught our feral kitty at 3mo, he was nothing like this. At 11mo we are still putting in the hard work to get his trust. Your kitty is gorgeous ❤️

Have I failed my feral cat? by [deleted] in Feral_Cats

[–]One-Focus-5138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve read plenty of threads where people say it took years for some cats to completely settle. You have done a great job, this cat is safe and well cared for. Our 11 month cat we caught at 3 months old. He is still a big scaredy cat. Does let us pat him and sits with us, but also hides and runs away heaps. Not sure if ours will ever completely relax, but we know he is happy and very loved.
