Top Comments of this video!! :3
Itās taken 2 years to getting her to trust me. She was picked up by the county animal shelter for spay/neuter and release program so her ear is clipped when I first found her. We still have many hurdles to cross but she has begun to trust my feedings, my voice and cuddle time on the patio chairā¤itās been a slow process on her terms

Apologies in advance for the lengthy comment lol.
I care for a colony and we trapped 23 cats over the winter, most were able to find homes but 4 were too feral and had to be returned to the colony. One of them was the first feral I ever fed, she came right up to me one morning! I tried to pet her and she of course gave me the old bap and hiss lol. I would feed her and she would take a bite and back away from the bowl to watch me while she chewed it. But she quickly learned that I wasnāt going to hurt her. When we trapped her for TNR, she was not like this with anyone else at the shelter, she was super spicy! I went and visited with her at the shelter on my days off, sitting in front of her cage closing my eyes to show her she could trust me and speaking softly to her, making sure any movements I made were slow. The volunteers at the shelter said she was not so calm with anyone else there and would try to attack them when they went to feed her.
I already had 2, 9 year old brother and sister cats at home, (super spoiled). And my boy cat has medical issues. I was afraid to disrupt their livesā¦but the shelter told me that my feral baby was too feral for adoption and must be returned outside. I just could not put her back outside without trying to see if she could be happy indoors with me.
My bf, daughter and I live in a 2 bedroom apt but it has a decent size walk in closet with a window. We decided to give up our closet space and build an enclosure with shelves and kitty condo for her while we socialized her.
Iāll never forget the day that we were releasing the others, the volunteer brought them to my house, cages in the back of her SUV and my feral baby in the backseat. As soon as she heard my voice she meowed for the first time! She didnāt even see me, just heard me speak and it was like a little chirp-meow! Soo adorable!!
Fast forward to today, feral girl, who Iāve named Hissy Elliot, is doing incredible! Sheās a loving kitty now after socializing her. Sheās been with us for 5 months and doing great!
Resident cats arenāt very impressed with the scent of new kitty but weāre currently working to integrate them.
I came across your videos while searching for a way to get a feral used to being picked up lol. Sheās about 1 and a half years old already so not like getting a kitten used to being handled.
My resident cats, I walk around the house with them sitting on my shoulder like a parrot and I cut their nails without issueā¦I donāt expect her to be this way of course lol, but I want to make sure if I needed to handle her that I could do that.
Oh and the other ferals that were released are doing great right nowā¦I just dread the winter of course.
I did document my journey with them on video and Iām considering sharing it on a channel. Just to bring awareness to ferals. Thank you for sharing your content with us š»
