Hello Everyone and thank you for all your compliments about Beavis. I frequently check this site out and you all convinced me to register.

We now have 16 cats, all who were rescued and were feral. We just recently rescued 2 kittens and as usual couldn't part with them.

My husband & I TNR (trap, neuter and return) and care for a colony of ferals in a nearby park, about 35 right now. We have TNR'd and adopted over 80 cats from there. We both thoroughly enjoy doing this and is quite rewarding to us. Here's a link to some of their pictures:

We were honored by having an article in the January issue of Cat Fancy about us in the Unsung Heros section. Hopefully you'll get a chance to check it out.

If you ever have any questions on taming a feral, we can help you out!

Beavis we got at a very early age. His mom, extremely feral and the one that started it all, dropped him and his 3 sibilings off in our flower bed. We've had them since they were about 5 weeks old. We've acquired all at different ages, some even as old as 3 years of age. You're right, the younger you obtain a feral the easier and faster it is to tame them. When they're older it takes time and patience, but they all eventually come around. Some more than others.

We rescued one, Paisley, when she was at near death. She weighed only 1 pound, had URI, fleas, ear-mites, fever, and diaherra. The vet said they didn't think she would live. We kept her secluded for months in the backyard in a huge dog cage. We couldn't have her around our other cats at all. Eventually she started improving and is now a healthy/happy cat. She was captured at an older age and still has her moments of skittishness. BUT..she loves her loving, when she wants it. I could go on and on but don't want to bore you or make this post too long.

I even have some of the feral park cats that will allow me to pet and love them. No one else, including my husband, can get near them. I just love taming them!

I can't think of a better way to spend time, or a more rewarding thing to do. Each of these innocent creatures is special and wonderful. What a rich and fulfilling life you have. Bless you for your efforts.
