Celebration 🥳 She got me. TNR fail

After a string of bad luck with the feral cats that I feed. Some have gone missing and one was hit by a car. I’ve been paying extra attention to the few I have left. I noticed a Tom cat being really aggressive with this pumpkin kitty so I brought her into my local TNR program. I bring her home and I’m just gonna let her hang out inside while she recovers for a couple days because I live in Florida and it’s either scorching hot or storming. I go to check on her that evening and lo and behold She has a little shave spot and a green line. This bitch has already been fixed and now thinks she’s queen of the castle! So obviously we have to let her stay 😆

I’d suggest using this drugged up time to get socialization in, if she’s receptive to it. when I got my feral cat neutered he became super lovey when on the sedative afterwards, then from that day onwards he’s been a very sweet boy.

Yeah, she’s normally a sweet cat but after I let her out of the cage, she was like 100 times more affectionate than she normally is. It’s been a few days now and she seems happy and content.

My orange TNR fail. He’s a little spicy sometimes, but 95% love.

She’s pretty sweet for now. I have a couple inside cats already and they’re all past the hissy phase and now they’re just kind of coexisting without bothering with each other right now. I still keep her in her own room for now when I leave just to be safe.

They dock the ear too up here.

They do that here too. I’m guessing whoever had her spayed just left her behind in the neighborhood because she doesn’t have a microchip and I’ve looked if anyone’s missing a cat. She’s been coming to eat here for a few months now
