Sometimes the "R" in TNR stands for "remove". This past weekend we moved Allie, the mom cat from the Greenbriar kittens trapped last October, along with her "dowry" of toys and beds and cat trees, to a place where she can settle in and see if she's interested in socialization or prefers colony life, or anywhere in between.
Even though she had a dedicated and caring feeder a neighbor had threatened her and her kittens and even trapped one, who he did give to us, but complained that cats should not be returned. She couldn't be released back to her neighborhood so we gave her a try inside.
For 7 months she sat on a windowsill or air conditioner looking sadly out into her former territory and only made slight movements toward socialization, but finding a suitable place for her was tricky. She had always been timid and seemed to live entirely alone when outdoors, so my friend's farm would probably be too much for her.
Part of the trick was to convince her to go into a carrier on her own, and pack and move her without frightening her all over again.
Thanks to a woman and her husband who foster cats at all stages and have a wonderful setup for former feral cats to start out indoors and choose the level of socialization they want, up to rejoining a managed colony outdoors, Allie has her options.

A cat eating her pill? No force needed?
Yup, that’s right.
Ursula eats her medicine in some cheese. Once she eats it she gets an empty cheese ball. She also gets a couple pieces of cheese before the pill cheese ball.
We were able to get her medicine flavored with a chicken compound. She does not eat the pill on its own but she will in a cheese or meat ball. This has been an easy routine for a couple of years now.
If your pet struggles to take meds you may want to contact your vet to see if a flavoring is an option.
Do you need help making pill taking an easy pill to swallow?
There are a number of tricks to make this a stress free event.
***UPDATE*** Brooke was adopted today!! So excited for this sweet girl!!

This lovely lady is Brooke, she’s a gorgeous nine year old dilute tortoiseshell! She likes other cats and older kids, but probably not dogs. Stop in and say hi!
