If you could inch it towards the garage, then maybe it could live in the garage. I don't recommend getting it with the dogs any time soon. It may have never had human contact - a feral cat. It is going to take a long time to win it's trust most likely. See www.alleycat.org and http://www.amby.com/cat_site/ on taming/trapping feral cats.</STRONG>
