I have a feral cat I feed. I just notices a couple of weeks ago her tummy looked huge. Three days ago her tummy looked normal. She must have kittens somewhere. I dont know who to call or what to do. Every day around 3 I give her fresh bowls of food and water. If she comes earlier, I hurry to get her food ready. She began sleeping on my front porch as a baby with her baby siblings. It looks like she is the only survivor. Can anyone tell me what to do? This is a very small town off 95 in South Carolina. I have looked up every rescue but none are close at all.

@@justice2255 bless you. I love in the UK buddy. I would say look around any hiding holes or dark places as cats tend to favour these spots. Bless you for caring my friend 💕

​@@justice2255 Call the humane society or your nearest ASPCA or a vet. The vet may be able to give you a trap but you need to find out if she really did have kittens and where they are. Catching mom won't do any good if you can't find the babies. If your able to touch mom and if you have the money buy a little camera and get her a collar and then maybe you can recognize where she's going from the camera, it would have to be a live feed to your phone, tablet or computer. You may just have to follow her from a distance, so as not to spook her, but also record where she's going just in case you loose track of her. You might just be able to pick her trail up later or the next day. Make sure you do it at the same time of day she did it before. The babies usually eat every two hours so that may be easier to follow her a few times a day, if she leaves every 2-4 hrs everyday. My local humane society paid for a vet so I could take my brothers sick puppy to see the vet, unfortunately we had to put him down bc he was to sick to help. I hope this helps in your efforts to help this cat. God bless and have a good evening.

@@justice2255 just keep feeding her, soon you see babies after couple weeks, AFTER see babies by you, trap her & bring in house, they get tame after in house after about 2 days, & want to cuddle, even if wild or feral, I do all the time. sometimes the babies were wild so caught & brought in house, also after babies grew up, wild & when brought in house in separate room & hold them, they tame in 2-3 days.

@@dgonthehill Not really. Truly feral cats are hard to tame because they don't want to be touched and prefer to live outdoors. Stray cats that are not really that feral but were abandoned can be tamed.

It was so touching that she loved and cared for him so much, yet let him make the terms. A true cat lover!

@@CharGC123 How should it be otherwise?

@@marcelbork92unfortunately there are alot of cruel people in this world towards animals and especially cats. People are just happy to see or hear about someone being kind to them. Everyday on these sites I read horror stories

Yeah, I don't think he'd have made it that long if it weren't for her.

That’s the key words, his terms. 🌈

​@@debbieschultz9768What does the rainbow 🌈 flag has to do with this story????

This is true...if you can pet one for the first time and they purr, it's magical.❤

The eclipse was on April 8th and not on April 9th, this is obviously an error, everyone should have noticed that!

@@alohaspirit1506 Calm down. It isn’t the end of the world about the date.

​@@KohalaLover Dude, *you* chill. They obviously just found it intriguing that that's when he passed. Get some fresh air. 🤨

@@alohaspirit1506 Sorry, I over reacted.

@@KohalaLover I'm calm. The date was talked about for weeks and it was all over the place for so long that everybody could remember it was April 8th. I experienced it too as my city was in the path. No one could forget the day of the eclipse and it was an important event. On April 9th it was already done. Perhaps she meant to say the day after or she simply had her dates wrong. I'm sorry I'm just a stickler about things like that. It's not the end of the world I'm just pointing it out. People often don't pay attention and can distort things as this was an important/epic day. Also, grammar and spelling (not here) but I realized that I can't correct people on that anymore. A very beautiful story though and I cried.

He didn't necessarily have any trauma, it's more likely he just wasn't socialised to humans in the so-called sensitive period in the first two months of life.

We just lost our feral mystery she loved us but no one else. Sorry for your loss

There’s this cat I been feeding at my work everyday day for 6 months and I feel bad I’m too lazy to find him a home 😢

Ÿès, truly.🐈‍⬛

Thank you for the comment!

Thank you for looking after those cats!!

@@Flopthelot58 I try my absolute best for them.

So sorry for this loss and thank you for looking after him ❤

Tolerable??? He looked and seemed very happy with his super luxurious and safe, secure life which this empathetic lady provided him with. 7 years is a very long time for an animal like a cat. It would be about half his entire life. He hit the jackpot! All those other feral cats that he'd once lived with would have been green with envy if they could have seen his lifestyle. But most of them wouldn't have lived to see it, as depending upon their living conditions, adult feral cats often have a far shorter lifespan.

Forgot to add, he didn't really trust her at first. He just felt he had no other options and was forced to move somewhere where the aggressive feral cats would never dare to follow, and this woman's yard was what he came across. Also, if she had cats at the time, he'd probably observed that she looked after them, seen her body language, seen that the cats were in excellent condition and were not aggressive and a threat to him. He probably figured there's enough space there (and hiding spots) that he could avoid any interactions (unlike how it was with the cat colony) and stay safe.

Aww😢

Because you have a heart.
