caring for a feral kitty...UPDATE...NEW PICTURE (cuteness warning!)

[MoonandBean]

My friend got bit and scratched by a feral kitten on Wed. It was in a parking lot under some construction materials crying. She cornered him and then tried to pick him up figuring he was someone's "lost kitty" but he freaked and clamped on with teeth and back claws. She got him into a storage room (I have no idea how...LOL) and then set a have a heart trap. He was in the storage room (a hot and loud room) :( for 4 days. We kept checking the trap but he wasn't in there. We would meow and he would meow back but was clearly terrified and not coming out.

Finally...Sunday night at 9pm...success!! OMG...he is so small and cute. He acted like a Tazmanian devil when we transferred him from the trap to his much bigger digs...a nice sized dog crate.

We set up him in a nice cool garage with a litter box, food, water, a bed and a stuffed frog. Once he stopped trying to get out of every opening in the crate (some very stressful minutes as we weren't sure he wouldn't be able to squeeze through the slats), he finally settled down and ate and drank. He already uses the litter box and he loves his bed.

He no longer cries and he closes his eyes when I sit near the crate and purr to him...or sing...(atleast he's not covering his ears). He does hiss and spit if he gets startled.

My friend is on antibiotics and we know to watch him to make sure he stays healthy for 10 days so that she doesn't need the rabies shots. Assuming he stays healthy (he eats and drinks like a little piggy), we will begin trying to socialize him.

Anyone want a feral kitty in 10 days? Haha...no seriously, I'm up for any advice.

Thanks.

[cassiesmom]

Awww, kitty! How old do you think he is? (I'm wondering if he's old enough for Composure cat treats ... or feliway ... or ???)

Fingers and paws crossed!

:love: Awee Bless your friend for poofing this baby.. Do tell your friend to take good care of the bite & scratch & keep it doct. with plenty of meds.. Feral cats/kittens can be really bad due to their outside living.. Aweee I will bet since the kitten is young then the baby can be socialized in no time at all.. Gots any pics yet?? Keep us posted ok..

[mon]

Sounds like you are doing a fine job. Our feral cat found us around 5 yrs. ago and ya just have to make up the rules and deal as you go along. All I know is that just when you think you've got thier #...... think again. Spicy is always Wild at heart. Also need to get rid of fleas,mites and mange if any exsist. Ya wear long leather gloves to the armpit for that little checkup if your smart for sure. Good luck, you'll do great!

[MoonandBean]

Thanks everyone. I do have one picture (will post) and will get more tonight. We think he is 7-8 weeks old. We are calling him "biter-man" (sing to the tune of "spider pig"...LOL.

[MoonandBean]

Hi! I'm Biter-man!

Awwwwwww.... Adorable!

[Freedom]

Hi ya, Biter Man, you are CUTE!

For future reference, to calm them down put a blanket or towels over the cage, makes it feel more like a save cave. We also covered the traps when trapping ferals, to make it more like a cave and to contain that lovely smell of the salmon or other tasty tidbits in there.

You need to handle him to tame him up. At 7 to 8 weeks he is young enough to do this. You know how to scruff him by the neck? You can do this and clip his nails, will need 2 people.

After that, you do it all w/ positive reinforcement, just like training a dog. Use the toys on a stick, danglers, to get him playing. Keep him a safe distance from you, do this multiple times a day. Once every 2 days, move him closer to you.

Kittens are full of energy and love to play. Being in the crate (good job, that!), he should have plenty of energy for these play times. Won't be long he will be climbing on and over you after that toy! ;)

[cassiesmom]

Please don't be afraid, sweetums. Everything will be fine. It is much better for you to be indoors where you can be watched, played with, talked to, oohed and aahed. You are just so stinkin CUTE!!

MoonandBean, do you think Bitey Man's mom cat is still out there? Maybe he misses her.

[mon]

Cutest little cat, can't believe how wee. Will turn around on a dime with time cuz of how young the kitten is. LOVED the pictures of the kitten. i think the sound of Sherman is more appropriate as it sounds softer. Just always talk soft and gently and bityman will not be able to resist ya before long. Well done !!!!

[MoonandBean]

Just always talk soft and gently and bityman will not be able to resist ya before long. Well done !!!!


Haha...that made me laugh. Elyse, Bitey-man actually rode to work underneath our co-workers car. I will ask her if she knows if there is a feral cat in her neighborhood. I've been worrying about the same thing :(

[sana]

Looks exactly like the kitten in my garden. What a darling!!! :love::love::love::D

[MoonandBean]

He's quick to adjust. We can already scratch his head, ears and back with the back scratcher. Maybe today, we will try a hand...gloved :)

[Medusa]

You've done a great job. He looks so harmless! I do know what little devils they can be, though. Good luck and keep up the good work. :)

[GILL]

Thank you for working with little guy. At that age you should be able to socialize him. after 10-15 weeks it gets harder BUT not impossible. Olive was about 4 years old and came from a feral colony. I have had her a little over a year. She now will let me give her a good head scratch and some pets. Still cringes when you reach to pet, but once you start it "all is well".
So again thank you and don't be afraid of the scratches, they heal and a hart won makes it all worth it.

[catmandu]

:):love::love::love:
What a Great Little Cat of the Future you are , and we hope that you will soon get used to your new Furrever Home and your New Guardians.
:):):)
What a Great Little Cat You will grow up to be. Is it too late to suggest the name Joseph.
:D:D:D

Thanks Gill...now that we are 99% sure that he doesn't have rabies, we can start handling him without much fear of bites and scratches. I can always get Augmentin and will heal :)

[MoonandBean]

:):What a Great Little Cat You will grow up to be. Is it too late to suggest the name Joseph.
:D:D:D

You don't think we should keep the name "biter-man"? LOL. Joseph is a good name...IF he proves to be a He.

[lvpets2002]

:love: Awee such a very cute wittle fellow.. You will have him social in no time at all..

[Taz_Zoee]

He is adorable!! :D

You can always call him Joey, that is a unisex name. :)

[MoonandBean]

Day 3 of "operation bitey-man"...we can reach in the cage and pet him all over his widdle body with a gloved hand. He likes neck rubs! This boy is going to be very easily poofed! <3

My hand looks huge:

[Karen]

Hee hee - sounds great! And if he gets used being called Bitey-man, you can always change it to Biederman, a good German name!

[MoonandBean]

Karen, did you see the pics? We may have been posting at the same time. :)

[cassiesmom]

Awww, awww! Look at his eyes in the picture "Oh dat feels good"-- and his ears are forward-- and his pink nosie-- how sweet!

You know, now that I think about it, if I reach to pet Cassie from the front, she does sometimes flinch. And she's been with me for years. She LOVES to have her head skritched and she will do "elevator butt" when I pet her sides or back.

We had a scare one day-- I kicked my foot out to untangle my pants leg and she ducked and ran! I have never, ever hit or kicked her, not ever. But she must have been right behind me with my tangled pants leg. She scared us both! Sometimes I stand with my back right against the closet door so she can't sneak up behind me.

[kuhio98]

Awww, awww! Look at his eyes in the picture "Oh dat feels good"-- and his ears are forward-- and his pink nosie-- how sweet!

The pink nosie is what I love too.

Hang in there Joseph, Joey, Jo-Jo, Josie, whatever. You sure are a cutie!:love::love::love:

[Moesha]

I bet it won't be long until the little one is running over to the cage door for your attention. :D

[katladyd]

I'm voting for Joseph, he was a great cat! The little guy resembles him a bit, doesn't he?:D

[krazyaboutkatz]

The kitten is adorable and I'm sure you'll be able to hold him/her very soon.:) Have you heard any purring yet?

[MoonandBean]

No purring but I make purr noises when I sit with him or now, pet him..and he always closes his eyes when I purr. :love:

[moosmom]

Great job!!!!! Kittens that age are very easy to tame. When he blinks his eyes at you, that shows he's beginning to trust you.

Another thing you can do is wrap him up in a towel with only his head exposed. Pet and kiss his head, gently talking to him. I've found that the gloves have a tendency to scare the kitties. Maybe that's why I have so many scars!!!

You're doing an awesome job MoonandBean. Thank you for taking this precious one in. Welcome to kitten season!!!

[Pinot's Mom]

AWWWW - JoJo will be purring in your arms in no time! :)

[MoonandBean]

Thanks everyone. He really is so sweet. I can't wait to hold him :love:

[aTailOf2Kitties]

call him Feral Darryl, LOL

[astrid]

:love::love::love:AWWW!!!!:LOOKS LIKE BABY SOPHIE!!!!:love::love::love:

[Randi]

Aww, he's a cutie! You're doing great socializing him! He loves that ear scritch. :)

[ramanth]

Awww! He's adorable! Reminds me of when I first took Logan in. Wish I had had an extra dog crate. That would of made taming him and taking him to the vets SO much easier. lol!

I'd recommend getting some Comfort Zone Feliway. It really helped calm Logan. If there is no outlet nearby for the plug in version, then I'd try the spray and use it around the crate and on his bedding.

Good luck!!

[phesina]

Oh, what a beautiful little guy and what great news how well he is coming along.. and what a fine job of taming him you are doing!

Thank you for taking him in and loving him so well! :love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[lizbud]

call him Feral Darryl, LOL


:D:D LOL :D He/she is much too cute to saddle him with that name but,
Joey or Josie is nice.:)

[MoonandBean]

We are naming him Joseph if he's a boy and Josephine if she's a girl :)

No more "bitey-man". He has been with us 5 days and hasn't done anything but hiss. Last night, we picked him up by the scruff of his neck and moved him from his litter box to his newly made bed. He runs to his food bowl when we go to fill it and we can have the door open while we're cleaning his cage and he makes no attempt to escape (quite a difference from the first night when he was trying to get out and testing every opening).

My cat Moon went in the garage for the first time last night and Moon looks like he could be Joseph's mother. Joseph's face "LIT UP" when he saw Moon. (See attached pic...Moon is the cat on the left....Bean is on the right....Sunny is my pup but you all know that...:) ). Moon wasn't too interested and walked right out but it made me sad for Joseph. He must miss his mom!!

Thanks for all the great advice. I am really surprised how smoothly this is going. His quarantine is over tomorrow (clearly...he is healthy) and we are going to start holding him and carrying him everywhere.

Stay tuned....:)

[DriftyAlison0]

Peaches is around 3-5 years old (thinking closer to five) and she used to be feral. Loves human attention and is ok with the other cats unless they get too close to her then we hear her faint hiss and she isn't afraid to smack them. (she doesn't have much of a voice poor cat).

[MoonandBean]

We can hold him!!!!
http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm307/dmend10/011.jpg

God, he is cute!!

[Medusa]

Good job! He really does look like a little stinker! :D

[sana]

Oh my gosh! That is totally awesome! And now we'd need lots of pictures of him :D This is totally great!!! I hope he doesn't scratch and bite anymore :) :D

[MoonandBean]

He is so cute! Maybe he wasn't feral at all....just alone and scared.

[phesina]

Oh, how adorable! Thank you.

[Pinot's Mom]

He is so cute! Maybe he wasn't feral at all....just alone and scared.

Exactly. Poor baby...so glad he's being cared for and loved!:love:

[cassiesmom]

Awww, Joseph Bitey-Guy! What big eyes you have!

[katladyd]

AWWWWW! He's a cutie, that's for sure. Give little Joey some loves from me.:love:

[krazyaboutkatz]

Wonderful news!!! I knew this would happen soon.:) Joey sure is one lucky kitten. I bet it'll be very hard to adopt this little cutie out. I know I'd be a foster failure for sure.;)

[MoonandBean]

Yep...I'm pretty hooked. I might get out voted but we'll see :)

[MoonandBean]

"Wrangler" as we're calling him now, tested Negative for Feline Leukemia and FIV. He got his first set of shots. He is soooo cute :)

[Catty1]

TOOOO cute! So glad he tested negative. :) Especially in the second photo he does not resemble a biter man at all! In the first, he has that sleepy-eyed happy kitten look.

Congrats - bless you for all your work with him.

[krazyaboutkatz]

This is wonderful news.:) He's such an adorable kitten and it looks like he's found his new meowmie.;)

[cassiesmom]

Yay, Wrangler, former bitey-guy! He is getting so big and, if it's possible, even more CUTE! :love:

[GILL]

With a face like that how can you not love him.

[cassiesmom]

MoonandBean, how is little Wrangler doing?

[lizbud]

Just look at that sweetie.:love::love: So cute.:love:

[MoonandBean]

Wrangler has crawled into our hearts like a little heartworm. We *might* let our co-worker (a great newly married guy who is fixing up his house to get ready for an indoor only kitty) adopt him when he is 12 weeks. Or...we might not be able to let him go. Either way, he will have a great life! He gave us a little scare after his first set of shots and de-worming medicine. He stopped eating and was pretty lethargic. His belly went from a big swollen sac (worms) to flat as a board. I assumed it was the de-worming that made him sick but I still worried. Of course, I hand fed him and gave him water with a 3cc syringe. We took him to the vet on Monday. He weighed in at a whopping one pound 11 ounces. The vet said he seemed pretty healthy. His stool still showed roundworm eggs but we will recheck that in a week rather than give him more de-worming (the first dose may still be working). She gave us some cans of ID food (good for upset bellies) and just like that, he started eating the minute we got him home. He really eats well after we hold him and play with him. He is on medicine for ear mites. He is eating a can a day now plus his kitten chow dry so I'd say he is definitely thriving.

Here are some extra CUTE pictures.

He is 100% comfortable with Sunny (dog) and she is able to take a treat off the floor 6 inches from him and he doesn't flinch. She is actually still a little scared of him. He lights up when he sees my 14 year old cat who looks like he could be his father. Unfortunately, Moon wants nothing to do with him but it's so obvious he misses his mommy. We have heard of 2 other kittens found near where we found him so we are assuming someone either dumped the litter or their mom was killed. The vet says he is 8 weeks old which means he was 5 weeks when we found him and should still be nursing :( but he definitely can eat on his own too which is good.

Thanks for checking in on Wrangler :love:

So happy he is doing better. Poor little guy with all of those worms in his belly. :(

I hope you keep him so we can continue to hear about him and see pics. I don' think I would be able to let him go but I understand if you can't keep him.

He just seems to have such a personality in the pics. :) :love:

[Catty1]

THUNK! Cute!!!! :love::love::love::love::D

[phesina]

What a sweetie! He's just ADORABLE!!!

[astrid]

What a cute little angel :love:

[krazyaboutkatz]

He sure is a cutie pie.:) I hope he's able to get rid of all of those nasty worms and earmites. I too hope that you'll end up keeping him. I'm sure that Sunny wouldn't mind.:)

[katladyd]

I know that I would have a big problem letting this precious little guy go. Good luck! He is a complete year's worth of cuteness overload in one picture!:love:

[MoonandBean]

Last night, he snuggled with us on the couch and watched SYTYCD. This morning, he got brought out of his crate and into bed for 10 minutes before we got up. Then he got his ear mite medicine put in and a bowl of his wet food which he quickly devoured. We just love this little baby. :love:

[Randi]

He is such a sweetie! :love: Glad he got rid of the worms and is thriving. Sounds he'll be a keeper. :D

Kisses and purss from us.

Forgot to mention...he PURRS like a train the minute we walk into "his room"

[Malibu's Mom]

Just read the whole thread. He is TOO cute! Reminds me a lot of Malibu when she was a kitten. Now she's a show cat! When you put effort and love into these fearful kitties they really pay it back in spades. Thank you for saving him! :D

[MoonandBean]

Just read the whole thread. He is TOO cute! Thank you for saving him! :D

My pleasure; thanks :)

[Scooter's Mom]

Any updates on this little guy?

[MoonandBean]

He is doing really well!! We decided to keep him :) Couldn't give him away after he bonded with us and Sunny; they are so cute together! Even Moon is starting to play with him. He looks like a mini-Moon. So cute! Bean barely notices him. Will update with pics later :)

This wonderful news!!!:D I was hoping that you'd be another foster failure. I can't wait to see some new pictures of him. I'm glad that both Sunny and Moon seem to like him.:)

[phesina]

Wonderful! Fabulous! Thank you, and God bless.

[moosmom]

We ALL think you're keeping him!!! Glad to hear it.

[MoonandBean]

Oops. Spoke to soon :( We did decide to let him go to his new home as his new mommy and daddy were very disappointed and had already bought him a new bed and lots of toys. We decided to let him go with the understanding that he comes back to us if there are any problems.

We dropped him off and brought all the things he was used to. He adjusted really quickly and was already purring, playing and eating. He also got to hang out with his new daddy at our place a few nights ago so he was familiar.

So...this was my first foster. He was with us 7 weeks and is 12 weeks old now. over 3 pounds, worm and flea free. Happy, healthy and loved. I'm happy :)

[Catty1]

Aww! :love: It sounds like his new purrents had everything ready to spoil him rotten! Ya done good! :D

[MoonandBean]

Aww! :love: It sounds like his new purrents had everything ready to spoil him rotten! Ya done good! :D


Thank you :)

[Pinot's Mom]

It's OK, Deb, I'm sure the kitty will be very happy. Ya done good! ;)

[phesina]

Oh, this sounds great! I hope the people will update you as he settles in.

Welcome HOME, little kitty!

[MoonandBean]

Thanks Pinot and Phesina! I work with Wrangler's daddy and got a great report this morning. He is already running around the house and getting lots of undivided attention from his new parents. We can keep tabs on him and will see lots of him :love: but I sure did miss bringing him upstairs this morning (he was such a snuggler!) :love:

[Malibu's Mom]

I'm sorry that you had to give him up but so glad he is going to get the spoiling he deserves! :love:

Do you think you'll do any more fostering?

[MoonandBean]

I'm sorry that you had to give him up but so glad he is going to get the spoiling he deserves! :love:

Do you think you'll do any more fostering?

He kinda snuck into our lives :) so no fostering in the near future but ya never know :) Thanks.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Well if he couldn't remain in your home, I'm glad to hear that he's now in another wonderful loving caring forever home.:) It's great that you work with his new daddy so you'll be able to get updates.:) Is there any chance that his daddy could join PT?

[Anikaca77]

Awww....I hope you will get updates on him. Melissa

Texted to me by Wrangler's pawrents...

"Wrangler reading my kindle" ~~Wrangler's mom

[moosmom]

Thank you for not giving up on him!

I'm working with two feral kittens (about 13 weeks) now. They've come a long way. Unfortunately, the male has Giardia, Lung Worm and Round worms, which will be treated with antibiotics.

Spray Feliway on your shirt before taking him out to socialize him. It worked wonders for me!!!

Good luck!

He is getting so big! His face has a look of utter contentment and snuggling up with his hoomin is obviously what he loves!! And his hoomins love him too! :love::love::love:

Congrats on finding him such a wonderful home - and they update you too!:D

[katladyd]

Not only good looking, but smart, too! Maybe he was reading a book about cats!:D

[sana]
