However, we have befriended some as kittens, three live indoors with me now and my son has five, they are safe and no longer feral or homeless. "All of these cats we have had neutered.and spayed" (It's the only way to stop over population of homeless felines) *They have also been vaccinated* This kitty was feral but lost a fight with another cat when he was 3 yrs. old This is a feral mother cat We had trouble catching her but we finally did, she was having kittens twice a year He was finally accepted into the colony Kitten asleep in empty flower pot Hiding behind weeds Afraid of everyone and everything Waiting for some food Couple of young kittens eating Is it morning already?

This is baby kitten above all grown up We befriended this kitten, she had no friends and caught a cold. We took her in and nursed her back to health and just look at her now. She loves us and we love Yoyo. She has everything she could ever want and is no longer a feral, she has a loving home. Adult feral cats, that were never socialized with humans, can rarely be socialized. Feral kittens can sometimes be socialized to live with humans. The ideal time for capture is between six and eight weeks old. Taming at this age may take only a couple of days. Older kittens can be tamed - but it takes longer. Also, an older kitten may bond only with the person working with them, which can make adoption difficult, but not impossible. Feral cats may live alone but are usually found in large groups called feral colonies. The average life span of a feral cat that survives beyond kittenhood is usually cited as being less than two years, while a domestic housecat lives an average of 12 to 16 years. However, feral cats aged 19 (Cat Action Trust) and 26 (Cats Protection) have been reported where food and shelter are available. Last year I also had five feral cats but all were poisoned. It was so sad to see them, one by one they came here to die. We took them to the vet but he told us their was nothing he could do. Including kittens that had nursed from their poisoned mother.
