[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I take care of a small colony near my house. If you want to bring your cat inside, then you should trap the cat or put it in a carrier, and then take the kitty directly to your vet. The shelter will lend you a trap if you need one. If you already have cats, then your feral should be tested for FIV and FeLV before bringing him inside. A cat being FIV+ is actually okay, so long as it doesn't fight with your existing cats. I have FIV+ cats indoors. FeLV, however, is a dealbreaker. Your vet can also provide pills for deworming, flea medication, etc. It sounds like your cat will adjust to being inside. Given its age, if it just disappeared one day because it got sick, would it break your heart? Oh, and P.S., feral cats living in urban areas are typically only active at night. They sleep during the day because they are afraid of people. There aren't many birds out at night. It is my observation that the indoor-outdoor cats are the ones killing the birds. [/quote]

Indoor outdoor may be worse, but none are good and we’re at a crisis point with birds.[/quote]
