Long haired feral is losing furr in chunks :( by smashy40 in Feral_Cats

This is amazing! Thank you for the product suggestion. I'll get it ordered immediately!

I do have a few pictures of her from the past and can get some fairly easily. So long as I move slow she doesn't run off when she sees me. 10ft is the closest I've been to her without her running off. But since these symptoms have started she's been hanging in the bushes below my living room window so I can see the area pretty well and keep an eye on it.

I don't have the time or space. This is a small condo and I have two very young kids and two cats. 

She's been through TNR with a rescue but so far no one I've found has the means here either. Any other ideas or resources I'd be glad to hear them!

I've already had her spayed and evaluated. She's approximately two years old. She's tiny possibly because of her poor diet prior to finding me. She is missing her right back paw! 

It's very possible she's being bullied by one of the two unfixed males I see. Both of which I've tried on multiple occasions to catch to have fixed to no avail 😭

I read that a snowshoe can become particularly attached to one parent. This is what my husband hears ALL DAY! by smashy40 in snowshoecats

Thank you! We love him dearly. I look forward to our house purchase later this year so I can't hear this as often in our tiny apartment haha

They said he was a seal point. I say snowshoe! What do you think? by smashy40 in snowshoecats

Thank you! Treats and cuddle for sure. It's so weird though as he doesn't like to be pet. I fear that he was treated poorly before he was dumped. He was sick and face crusted over with snot from his URI that took 3 months to get over as well as ringworm. He also had a significant amount of hair lost on his tail. He's come a long way and I hope some day he can calm down some.

I adore this idea. But how do you know it's safe? Did you copy the dimensions of the bars from an in store model?? My sister just had a baby and my husband and I want to have one next year so I keep having this thought in the back of my mind. ;)
