RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 9 Sep 18

Just a baby, lost from its mama. Been hanging around meowing for mama. Not much I can do for it, as it won't come to me. Took a bit of cat food out, hoping to entice it to at least eat something. I usually don't feed feral cats,...

Genipher @Genipher (5405) • United States 27 Oct 17

When we moved two months ago we thought we had left the feral cats behind. We thought we were safe. We thought we were free. We were wrong. There's a fluffy, gray critter that's discovered our RV. More importantly, he's...

My friends know I have a lot of cats, including 3 feral ones and a semi-feral one. Tonight I went into the kitchen and saw Elmer, one of the feral cats, sound asleep, cuddled up next to Taj, my oldest cat. I quietly reached...

I don't think I can do that

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (64169) • United States 7 Aug 16

I don't think I can save them all. Heck, I don't think I can save a fraction of them. But if I can do just a little bit for a few of them, I think I've done a little good in the world. What? Oh, what am I talking...

Feral Kittens

slyvixen42 @slyvixen42 (926) • United States 4 Sep 12

A feral cat had kittens in my backyard. I'm not sure what to do. Should I call a local shelter to have them taken away? The mamma cat is taking good care of them and I'd hate to do that to her. If they stay they will most likely...

Words have meanings!
