Awwww..so sweet.
A young feral has found his way to my back porch. I wish he’d come at the kitten stage like this little guy. He’ll talk to me, and he allows me to feed him, but that’s it.
DON’T give up & here’s why! We started feeding a stray adult feral about 5 or 6 years ago. She finally got to the point where we could pet her. We have a work table in the carport. We put an insulated doghouse on it filled with quilts & fleece throws. We have 2 dogs& a cat indoors. This winter was brutally cold. No matter how my h we tried luring our feral in she wouldn’t come even though it was obvious she so wanted to. Finally, over Thanksgiving break my husband kidnapped her one cold night & brought her in. She was tentative & skittish, but we kept doing it & one evening we found her curled up on the bed looking like a queen! She now comes in all the time & sleeps inside at night. She gets on my chest & purrs & rubs & we take weekend naps.
This happened just last year, SO never give up hope. To us it is pretty much a miracle come true. I’ll think good thoughts about you & your feral.
I lost my dog Teddy after 14 years almost two months ago now, at least the kittens give me something to watch.
I have a feral. It’s been a couple of years. It has taken a long time for her to even stay in the yard while I am there. She now stays in the yard when I put food out and even lets me pet her. Maybe in a couple of years she will come in the house. When I feed her she now will purr.
p.s. She is fixed. Her ear is clipped and she has had a long term rabies shot.
