    Going to be taking in a feral kitty

    I put the word out with the Calgary Humane Society that I'd like a feral or barn kitty. One that would like to live in our heated 3 car garage and feast on the mice that have taken over. They called me this afternoon with such a kitty. She is a grey/silver tabby, on the small side, won't let anyone touch her. She was trapped in the Northeast part of Calgary. They will spay and tattoo her before I can go collect her. I've not seen her, but I suspect she's a beauty. Perhaps in time I can at least pet her a bit and let her know she's loved. I'm trying to decide on a name, the first one that came to me was Sophia, but I'm not entirely set on it, need to see her face first. As soon as I get her I'll try to get a decent photo to share.

    Good luck! I suspect that with your love and affection you'll have her eating out of your hands (maybe even literally!) in no time.

    As they say at the Animal Welfare Association of Hamilton thats the way you have to do it, one cat at a time.
    Bless you for taking a chance on that Feral Cat, and we are praying that she adjusts to live with you soon!!!

    Thank you for taking in this little girl. We have an in house feral, SWEETY, she had 2 litters in our yard before we got her in. She gave us MITS and PEAK from the frist and BOOTS from the 2nd. She has been in the house over 3 years and we still can not get close to her. BUT she will sit and talk with her eyes all day. At lest we know she is safe and will not have any more kittens.
    Again THANK YOU

    Kitty comes home Wednesday!!!

    Talked with the girl at the Humane Society, kitty is scheduled for surgery on Wednesday so I can pick up him/her at 4 pm Wednesday. Yes, him/her. Apparently they aren't entirely sure she is a GIRL!!! Guess I'll find out Wednesday. Better come up with a boy kitty name, just in case.

    Got all the supplies a new kitty will need.
