Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / March 2006wildcat needs home
I have a nine month old wild cat. Any suggestions on finding him a home? The vet and pound and cat shoppe in my area said you can't really find homes for a wildcat very easily if at all. And now he's not a kiten anymore which will make it harder I would think. Thanks I'm sorry that you were able to get the wild cat and that it's now difficult for you to relocate him to a suitable home. Contact local zoos in your area, since a person's home is a ridiculous place for a wild cat, in the first place. Call animal control. They will, most likely, take your wild cat, and find a suitable home. Please do not dump your animal. Perhaps I misunderstood your question. To me, a wild cat is an exotic animal. My answer was addressing that. Did you mean a stray or feral cat? My response would be much different. Hey, It's a regular cat (not an exotic animal). I'm willing to pay money to help find the cat a home if that helps any. I don't want to take him the pound becuase they tell me it's not likely anyone would take in a wild cat and would probably have to put him to sleep. Just trying to identify all of my options.

I never had an account here and had to create one to reply to this thread. I am the webmaster of www.for-the-love-of-cats.com I would never have a problem with a feral cat, and know how to treat them. I might advise training and taming exercises instead of a pound. If you can trap and neuter the cat and release it back to the world, that would be OK, too, as I have links to the traps. There are many training methods you can use to tame a cat. If the person who started this thread would like to contact me, I would be more than happy to help. >I have a nine month old wild cat. Any suggestions on finding him a >home?

Thanks We adopted a feral cat from our vet. She was about a year old and had been there for 5-6 months because no one would adopt her since she was so hyper. It took us about a year of being VERY patient with her and now she is the best, loving cat a person could hope for (she still doesn't like to be picked up though). So, if anyone is reading this thinking about adopting a feral cat I would encourage you. Just be aware that they take a lot of patience and time to learn to adapt to their new home. |
