[Felvtalk] Update on Hemy THANK YOU
Dear All Update on my Dilemma and numerous questions.. The little feral cat from my aunt's house is now safely in a large cage on my back deck. Phew! Forgotten Felines lent me the cage and advised that should be her transition place. She's mad as heck and won't look at me and hisses, but lets me clean the litter box, give her food and change the water. But this is only day 2. She seems to be healing from her tail amputation, and her hind leg wound/tumor (they aren't sure). My goal is to let her stay in my yard - not my favorite thing, but can work (birds: beware). I am open to finding her a home if she turns out to be friendly enough. I will Never take her to a shelter or give her away to anyone I don't know and can't check up on. She's had it tough enough already. I call her Hemy (sorta short for Himalayan?). She's half lot of things: she was already spayed; she is at least half Himalayan; she is half feral and half friendly; she has a little clef palate; she is blue-eyed and although looked awful with a damaged tail she is a 9 lb. 6 oz. beauty! If she ever forgives me for causing her this trauma, we may get to be friends! I am considering building a larger enclosure for her, and maybe could use it to give the indoor cats some time outside. And thank you all so much for your help! ~Bonnie ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Hemy THANK YOU
I pet sit for a feral cat. She was trapped released the lady re-released her at her new house when she moved. I would have to leave the front door open so she could sneak inside. She now runs up to my car begs to be picked up. Yet the woman still calls her feral, LOL. So Hemy may very well come around.

Not just the south. Here in the midwest it has been unbearable. That is why my pride stays inside most of the day. They go out early morning and back in within an hour.

Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Hemy THANK YOU
I like the outdoor enclosure idea best! I am owrking on plans for my pride. Thinking about roofing half of it so they could be out when I am gone during the day. Then, if it rained or the sun was very hot, they could find shelter. Also, I could get a solar pump and put in a fountain in a small pool for them. Harley would especially love this! He loves water and comes in the shower with me. He has also watched me and learned how to flush the toilet so he can watch the water spin around.

Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Hemy THANK YOU
Feral is a badge of honor to some of us. These cats are the best and the brightest. They have survived when all the odds were against them. My little guys are ferals and they have lived with me, travel with me, and owned me for over three yearssince they were 8 weeks old and came out of the pine thicket. One feral, the first to own me, lived in our homes for 16 years. He was born feral and died feral. It is almost a very special breed of cat although not a rare one.

Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Hemy THANK YOU
I used a 12x6x6 foot dog kennel with a topper attached to a bathroom window by ductwork and a pet door. Others have great outdoor areas available but this is fairly quick and, ifthe door is secured with a lock, pretty secure.
