Jeni,   You have gone through a lot to help this cat.  I know I'm probably in the minority on this one, but my opinion would be to help this cat cross to the bridge.  It doesn't sound like it is having a good quality of life.   I had a negative feral that never let me touch her for over 10 year

Jeni, You need to set a trap w/ food asap, while keeping the other animals away from it, so that she will come out. If she smells tuna, or something else, she should come out to eat, unless she can get out of the house some other way. Is there any way you can close that hole up after you trap he

Hi Jeni, I just wanted to add - Instead of reading out loud to your wall kitty, if you know anything about chanting, try it. It also will help her get used to your voice, and can be very soothing at the same time. I also have a very feral black kitty, named "Lenore" (after the lady in Edgar Alle

Hi Jeni, First of all, stop apologizing for your situation not being as grave as some others on the list. Everything is relative and your problems will certainly do! Try to calm yourself about what may or may not happen behind that wall. You've gotten some good advice so far, and you know t

this probably won't sound helpful, but with a feral, as long as she has access to food and water, she's probably happy and safe where she is. remember that to her, human companionship is NOT a safe or desirable thing--if she's ever gonna consider it so, it'll have to be on her terms, and at her pa

Hey Jeni, I trapped a Feral cat last year and we changed him to a different condo and didn't realise he could get in the wall. I couldn't get him out either. I put really smelly food where he could get to it and where I could grab him and after a few times I got him out and fixed the whole.
