feral and proud of it!

[Guest guest]

Hello,  I am not sure if this is OT, if you are reading this, Sarah the

moderator decided it's OK. 

 

I have trapped up a feral male kitty in the parking lot where I work.  He was

readily accepting food from me for a few days, and he would come quite close and

friendly when food was coming, so I think he deserves a better chance in life

than the parking lot. 

 

I have two former ferals myself whom I socialized, and another one " Roo " whom I

adopted from an advert in this list!  With the size of my condo what it is, and

a neighbor who is allergic to cats, I can't have another one.  I was going to

keep him for a while, socialize him and then try and find him a home, but he is

a bit more feral than I thought and he needs to be with someone for good. 

 

My philosophy about cats (and other animals), is that their purpose for living

with me, is not to provide me with fun, pleasure or any other benefit

whatsoever. Instead, what it is, is that we humans have taken those creatures

all over the world, out of their native habitat which we largely destroyed, and

into urban areas where it is dangerous for them to be outside, so, we owe them,

whenever we can, to provide a little space to live. 

 

If you are like that, then maybe you would want to contribute to that cause, by

adopting this little guy.  He has ear clipped, which means, he has been through

a vet, is healthy, no fleas, and is fixed.  He does not bite or scratch, you can

hold him, but he does hiss sometimes and meow in distress.  He is eating very

little.  Basically this is all because he has just been picked up.  It may be a

long time, maybe half a year, but he will come around and start to love you

unconditionally.  He must be indoors for a long time because he will run. 

 

If you don't have experience with cats, I will tell you all you need to know, it

is very easy, much easier than a dog. 

 

As it is, he cannot be in a shelter
