Phaewryn,
I feel for you with your dilemma with Zack. I have a traumatized kitty,
I may have mentioned her, (Matilda), the thought of euthanasia has
crossed my mind with her too. If it truly comes to that with Zack,
couldn't you cage him and cover his cage at night? The "fence fighting"
might go on for a few nights, even covered, but I can't imagine that it
would go on forever. If you think of it as saving his life, it might be
worth the upheaval and it might just help him see that it's possible
that not everyone is out to get him. After all, we all know you can be
sick in mind as well as body. I know you'd cage him if he were sick in
body. It would also allow your outside ferals to get to their food and
shelter. If the worst happens, (knowing you, I don't think it will),
he'll already be contained and bringing him to the vet will be less
traumatic for all concerned.
What ever happened with that "favorite" feral you had relocated to your
house? The one that went missing. Did he/she ever show back up? I
know how upsetting it is to only be able to do so much for them and
always wonder what happened :(

Unfortunately, no, I don't have a garage or anywhere Zack can be put
for the winter. I live in a three room apartment, and there's just no
way to separate in a place this small, plus, if he's around other cats
he sprays really bad. He doesn't spray unless there's other cats'
scents he has to mark over. I keep hoping someone will come through
for him, but it's looking really bleak. I can't even cage him inside,
as he fights with all the cats through the cage bars so bad that it
would keep us awake all night.
