Hi, I've been feeding this sweet boy in my neighborhood for the past 5 days. I've made an appointment for him next week to get neutered with the feral cat coalition. I'm still looking for someone to help rehabilitate him after the procedure, as I have one person interested but would love more options. He seems like such a sweet young boy, but unfortunately, my cat doesn't get along with others.

Thanks for taking care of this beautiful cat. Hopefully you’re able to keep him indoors where it’s safe.

Google how to tame a (frightened, traumatized) feral cat / kitten ... After vet checking, neutering, de-fleaing, etc, best keep cat / kitten in a dog crate, with a cosy cat bed, litter tray and heavy food / water bowls. Sheet covering most of cage to help cat feel safe and secure. Once a bit relaxed (after a couple of days), use a stick / piece of dowell about 1 metre long, with a toothbrush, or small hairbrush, attached, through cage bars. Gently stroke cat around neck, jowls, shoulders, head and face with brush. Cat might at first go berserk, attack the stick / brush, but will soon calm down, relax, enjoy, even purr! Eventually (usually within a few days, or a week or so), gradually move your hand down the piece of stick / dowell, until it's your fingers gently stroking the cat. Once the cat enjoys your stroking hands / gentle scratches, move hands gradually to other parts of its body. Gently try pick up ... Another relaxed cat or two in the same room, is reassuring to the new cat. Eventually, you can leave open the cage door, allow it to emerge when ready, to explore the room. Keep all doors locked, with a spray bottle at each door. Also, windows / sliders restricted with dowell to not open beyond about 3cm. Most cats need to be locked in for 3+'weeks to bond to a new home, otherwise sooner or later might try head back to previous territory. Most cats are escape artists until bonded to new home! (eg breaking through mosquito netting and forcing sliding doors / windows open). Be extra vigilant! With enough patience, I have tamed even the most hissiest, spiti-est, scariest, claw-swiping, big feral bush cats using this method. Very rewarding to end up with cuddly, grateful, laid-back, content tame cats 💕
