"On this page I will be displaying photos
of some of the feral cats that I am feeding"
They eat and they leave!

*They won't let you get near them, I just put the food
down and leave them alone*

This kitty was feral but lost a fight
with another cat when he was
3 yrs. old

This is a feral mother cat

He was finally accepted into the colony

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 every thing she could ever want
and is no longer a feral, she has a 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.
