We Have a Feral Hanging Around

[catmandu]

When I see a feral at the Porch Angels Feeding stations in the front or back, I feel so sad.
I look at My Found Cats and think there for the grace of God go you.

I wonder if your vistor was a Kitten who was once loved and the apple of a family's eye , and then one day he became older , and not being neutered he sprayed and this was banished to the life of a Feral Cat
That is such a sad life always looking for food, being chased off by people, dogs and sometimes the resident Cats
At least Hunter has a friend to leave out Food and Catnip and a friend to help Hunter maybe find that special Fyrr Ever Home and his place in the Sun.
We are praying for Hunter , that he will be a Survivor and be a loved and the apple of a Family's eye once more.
Bless You for helping

Hunter seems pretty young...I'd guestimate his(?) age at between 1 & 2 years old...Something about him just doesn't look fully mature yet. But of course, my Kit is 3 and still looks like she's barely 1 in size and behavior!

He sure is handsome. Just keep doing what you're doing and hopefully in time he'll begin to trust you more. Good luck.

I'm hoping so! I plan on cleaning out the old shed, which I've been putting food & water in, when the weather cools down. Then I'll put our late-Nellie's dog house inside the shed with hay in it. That way, Hunter will have a good place to go if he hasn't learned to trust me by winter. Unless he miraculously gets very tame before then and I manage to home him with someone. I'm not sure how serious the one tentative offer was.

I think that Hunter like My Scrappy Two and Tubster Panther is evaluating you and slowly making up his mind as whether to come closer and make your home his FurrEver Place in the Sun
We are hoping and praying that Our Porch Angels who never found their FurrEver home will convince Hunter that you have just the right place where he will be a safe cherished Cat Companion
We are all crossing Our Paws at the Found Cat Hotel

I went out earlier this evening to put dry food and water in the shed and refresh the big bowl of water I keep out in the yard, then started watering some of my potted plants, when Hunter showed up. So I put some wet food down for him and talked to him from a distance while I ate. After he ate, he went to a favorite spot of his and I continued to talk to him as I went about my chores but eventually he went off.

I wonder if Hunter has been ill used by people and is just a bit scared of making a new friend.
You will just have to keep talking to Hunter, he can understand your tone of voice and sooner or later we pray he decides to trust you enough to let you help him find his FurrEver Home.
