He came easily to me and when I went back to get him, he came easily into a cat carrier. He took about 2/3 months to actually come and sit on our laps and let us scratch his belly. I actually was able to catch my little visitor today, just shut the door when she came into the entryway. Brought her to the vet soon after to get check out, where they confirmed she was a girl!

What better place for her to be than in your warm home, eating delicious food? <BR/><BR/>She's going to grow to love it there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631737825312888067.post-28339167674849121292008-12-10T00:19:00.000-05:002008-12-10T00:19:00.000-05:00Marie: My story gives you hope?

I have chronicled the story starting in June. We used a trap that a local cat lady let us borrow. You can get one from Liberty Humane (I think you need to leave a deposit). The best thing you can do for the outside kitty is make a shelter until you catch him.

Your story gives me hope! I've be...oh keep the cat! Your story gives me hope! I've been trying for about 3 months to take in this lovely kitten that was born in (approx.) May. He (or she) was one of two kittens and was definitely the most shy of the two. Now he will come into my entryway to eat, but is quickly scared away by any sudden movements. I was so worried for him when it got very cold a couple of nights ago and tried to get him to come inside, but he just looked up at me and meowed. I think I spent about 2 hours with the door cracked open, I tried a trail of food, toys, but nothing worked. I'm working on making some sort of trap for him or calling the humane society to see if they have one I can borrow. <BR/>I already have one cat that was born outdoors (I found him near pj ryans restaurant in jc, hence his name..pj), and now he is the most spoiled, friendly cat i've ever seen. He used to hide under beds and flinch when i tried to pet him, but now he comes when I call and rolls over so I can scratch his belly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
