Viola! You have an outdoor cat!

We did the same with a feral cat that showed up 6 years ago. Still with us today and doing great. Took about two years to be able to pet him. Now he is fully trusting and allows/demands belly rubs daily.

Here's a heated pad for cats specifically for outdoor use:

Ahhahha her actual owner is pretty insistent about getting her back once they get into better housing. I've probably only got a few more months of this.

You could get this. Or something else like it.

The quote goes on to explain that a cat from elsewhere who visits Istanbul follows the same route and hence all cats possess a collective memory of the old city. And that two cats who always greeted him on his many arrivals, showed him the many historical places of Istanbul that humans no longer remembered.

We got this type of trap for $10. We had a lot of rain in sydney at the start of the year which caused field mice to look for dry grounds.

I caught about 6, neighbour caught about 11. We used chocolate as bait but it has its own bait too

Paid off the wishlist for the kitties. I'd suggest changing from the Purina Whitefish/Tuna cans to something better for them like Instinct Grain Free Kitten Food in the future. Tuna isn't that great for cats, or anything by Purina for that matter.

Wow, that's extremely generous of you! That will go a long way.

When we first started feeding CJ, and she was the only cat and we fed her the same thing we feed our inside cats, Wellness Core Signature Selects as that is the only canned food our one cat, Runa, will eat. (found her crying outside a pizza place during a sleet storm) And we have tried everything with her. Our other cat, Dusty, who I found living in abandoned train tracks, will only eat Blue Buffalo.

But once CJ multiplied to other stray cats, then kittens, we ended up with 16 cats, and that got expensive quickly. I paid out of pocket for over a year and a half on just these cats until someone on her suggested a wishlist. That's not counting the $1000's I have spent on traps, vets, medicine from Canada when vets wouldn't help, flea and tick and dewormer. And that's not counting all the house cats that got ditched on our property that we have paid full price to get fixed and brought back to health, socialized and found homes for. Plus I was finding them at the industrial complex I work at and getting them fixed, socialized and buying cat trees, toys, finding home and donating all the things I bought for them. I maxed out my credit cards and had to make sacrifices, which was quality of food. We were very naïve on how fast cats reproduce and CJ completely hid her kittens from us. We hope to socialize all the kittens and get back down to 9 outdoor cats to watch over. Which after Friday we will have 8 of the 9 fixed. I am taking responsibility for my irresponsibility. That's a long way of saying I truly appreciate your help.

3 years ago when I found Dusty I told the people at work that I wasn't a cat person. They bring that up to me all the time now as I am always trying to find homes for cats.

I had rescue kittens who were almost feral and I purchased the love glove from Amazon. They don’t want to be held but they want to be petted and now demand grooming.

If you'll put this in an amazon wish list, I'll buy it for him. Sorry I can't do more.

You could take him to the vet and see if he's chipped then they can contact the owners.

Or you could put a breakaway collar on him with a note. If the owners see it they can contact you and let you know where his home is.

Last resort obviously if he is noticably distressed and/or injured would be take him to a shelter to an unknown fate. See my recent post about a suggested rule addition

I bought this for the stray I've been taking care of. Might be worth more expensive than DIY but something like that is an option, too

I see there's a bodega cats subreddit, but you might like this book Shop Cats of New York (amazon link so you can see the description)

Awe, so cute. I have a hard time finding toys my cats like. But they both love this one. They can't get enough of it!

It is indeed. Makes sense why I couldn't find it off just the flavor and packaging. Can't seem to get them in the US. Had to settle for these
