Would appreciate good energy to get homeless kitty trapped. [View all]

Rescue lady came out yesterday to try to help, bug neither of the homeless kitties would go into the traps we set.

Her advice was to not feed them for a couple of days. Heartbreading to see these babies hungry, especially as they have come to depend on me to feed them.

One is such a sweetie! He now allows me to pet him & rumbles like a freight train & makes biscuits while I pet him.

I think this one is a keeper. Rescue lady said once he is neutered, he will just be a darling snuggle bug in the house.

His brother is 100% feral.

Tyia for any good thoughts to get this little sweetie trapped & again on the vet's surgery schedule for his snip.



Ps - his feral brother will be next. They were both scheduled for snips today but had to cancel as we couldn't get them trapped.

If you can pet one, you can scruff it and bring it inside. Maybe it joined its more suspicious Karadeniz Dec 2022 #16
