The Vet might feel that permanently marking Lil Grey as a feral, with the tipped ear, might not be the "right" thing to do. If she does become someone's (read *your*) PET, she shouldn't be marked as a feral. If she ever gets lost in the future, folks seeing the feral/tipped ear might not attempt to catch and return her to her home/condo.

Hope Gracie doesn't mind sharing the new condo!

I actually didn't talk to the vet. The only thing I said to anyone there was that she was a feral I wanted spayed and vaccinated. I DID say that if she was already pregnant NOT to spay her, that I would take her home and find home for the possible kittens.

Hmmm.....

Hope she likes her new enclosure!!

Well....according to hubby, we can't "KEEP" Maggie. Our mission is to get her "people friendly" and then find her a home.

We'll see.

The only people that regard feral cats as pests are STUPID ones!!

Not really. If NZ let feral cats go, there would be MAJOR ecological and financial problems. Species would die out, species that only exist in NZ.

The cats didn't ask to be feral, but that doesn't mean they should be left to it. NZ can't take it.

Kelly, I'm just now reading this thread and I think that you're doing a wonderful job. I sure hope that Maggie can become used to people so she can be rehomed and that you're able to catch Gracie too. My new cat Cirrus is what I'd call semi-feral in that he was born to feral cats but became used to people as a young kitten. He and his brother were adopted by a woman who became so allergic that she wasn't able to pick them up or touch them. He and his brother were then returned at the age of about 5 months or so. A lady was working with him everyday and he became used to her and would let her pet him.

I adopted him when he was 8 months old and as of tomorrow I've had him for 2 months. He loves me to pet him and scratch his back and to be brushed too. He and Sunny are best friends too. His brother was also adopted and is doing very well. This just goes to show you that some cats can become more domesticated and learn to trust people.

If she is laying out in the middle of her room (vs. hiding in or under something) I believe she has a VERY good chance of becoming not only tame, but loving!

[kimlovescats]

My thoughts exactly, Jen! Maggie is destined for a loving home... thanks to you and hubby!!!
