Aslan is a hybrid and not feral.
He absolutely loves Braveheart and Lady Celeste and they love him. They were supposed to be adopted out.
How can I?

Walter has adapted to indoor life Purrfectly. Last night I held my hand out to him and he reached out and sniffed my finger. He has quit backing away when I put food down for him. It's progress.

Frequently after you let a feral cat out of an isolation room:
They will go through a readjustment period. They will typically hide most of the time for a few days, even weeks. They will refuse contact. Many might be a little defensive if you push them.
It's OK, they didn't turn Feral again. They just need some time to adjust to the new environment.

AN OPEN LETTER FROM A RESCUER:
I picked up your cat yesterday.
He’d just been hit by a car and his tiny body was still warm.
I walked up to him chanting “Breathe. Please breathe” quietly to myself.
I stroked his soft fur, told him I was sorry and that he was a good boy.
I wrapped him in a towel and took him back to my car to look for a tattoo and scan him for a microchip (yes, I keep a scanner in my car).
I was “lucky” this time and your kitty had permanent id and I got to call you and tell you your cat was dead.
Heartbreak compounded by more heartbreak.
I picked up your cat yesterday.
Someone had been feeding her all winter, but she was too scared to come to them and come inside.
They contacted me for help with a trap when they noticed she was getting rather round.
When we had her in a trap she meowed plaintively and leaned into pets.
It had been so long since she’d felt kind hands.
She has no permanent id.
She’s so little.
Maybe a year, with a great big belly full of babies.
She may not survive giving birth.
I picked up your cat yesterday.
You'd let him out last spring. He wasn't fixed yet, but at least he was a boy and couldn't come home pregnant.
But he didn't come home.
He followed the testosterone coursing through his body and couldn't find his way home. Kind people in the neighbourhood were feeding him.
Multiple homes, in fact.
But he also found other intact male cats who have similar origin stories.
He's injured.
He was fighting for his small patch of turf and now he is FIV positive.
He's a friendly little boy and his life will be shortened because FIV will weaken his immune system.
You likely won't recognise him now with his shredded ears and patches of missing fur.
But a rescue will welcome him in and care for him. He might spend a long time with the rescue though.
People are scared to adopt FIV+ cats.
I picked up your cat yesterday.
You don't consider him "your cat".
You have a bunch of barn cats and they have lots of kittens every year. You buy bulk bags of kibble from the farm store and put food out every couple days.
You try to catch all the kittens and hand them out to your other farming friends.
This little guy slipped through your kitten catches.
He's around a year old now.
But something got him.
He has a huge, deep, festering wound on the back of his neck and is feral.
He's in my trap, so I have to make a decision about what happens to him.
The wound is so bad that he will need surgery and weeks of oral antibiotics.
How do you pill a feral cat?
Is it ethical to keep a feral cat in a cage?
Handle that feral cat to get meds into him?
Cone him?
I have to ask the vets to humanely euthanize him. Nothing about his care or recovery seems fair or humane.
The kindest thing I can do is to ask the vet to end his suffering.
When I tell you that your cats are safer indoors and they don't need to be able to roam, I'm being selfish.
I don't want to be put in these situations anymore. I want YOU to keep YOUR cats safe.
I don't want the responsibility.
When rescues decline your application because you want an outdoor cat, remember that they see the results of that human choice daily.
Don't be upset with them.
Maybe instead do some online reading to find out why rescues would have such a firm stance.
Please, for me, keep your cats in?
I'm tired.
My heart is bruised.
I don't want to pick up anymore cats.

First time Lady Celeste and Braveheart have ventured out in the Catio.
A few pictures of the others out here today too. I let them out here about 10 this morning.

My God look at her! Persephone is playing where I can see her! Thank you God!

Walter playing with a piece of my instant oatmeal envelope. I accidentally dropped it.

Video of the babies having some supper.

Some happy kitten breakfast video.

Last night I picked Lady Celeste up. She didn't hiss or run, she calmly got down and walked back to Braveheart. The fact that she didn't get upset is great.

Supper video 🐈‍⬛🐈❤️

How about some Lady Celeste and Braveheart video to start our Wednesday.

My happy Walter is back.

Supper! Lol

They do this every time I bring in food.

"Live to play. Play to live" ~ Walter

A little supper video.

He came back pretty quickly.

Braveheart is learning to play with me.

Walter playing with a straw.

This is a good start with some interactive play. Tonight they had supper right at my toes. Braveheart got a few pets, he hissed but didn't swat or run.

Samson although he still acts feral most of the time, he will play with me with a wand toy. This. Is. The. First. Time. Walter. Has. Ever. Played. With. Me! ❤️
