This was an old, feral tomcat named Toupee Tom that I fed for 5-6 years.
Extremely feral, where I wore leather gloves to feed him. I was surprise that he made it through so many years of hard winters at the age he looked.

Late spring, 3 years ago, Toupee Tom showed up the last time.
He was followed by . . . a chubby, feral little female (Dottie), that ended up to "hide" in my garage.

Then Dottie had her kittens in the garage. (Little Girl, Alfalfa and Dirty Nose Ned (which passed away) Everyone is feral and a devil of a time to get them in the house for winter.

Ferals just don't look feral, do they? Just like adorable kitties!

Dottie was very young when she had those kittens. I don't think she was even one year old.
Dottie was so feral that she back me out of the garage so that I couldn't work with the kittens to get them tame.

NOW, Dottie is a lovable cat.
Her two look alike kittens that are living are 3 years old. I still have a hard time to get touch the boy, Alfalfa, and there is no way to pick him up. Not only he won't let you, he is the size of a moose. The girl, Little Girl, has almost finally given up to be petted and held for short times.

I owed thanks to Blue, another found cat, that was a lifeline to Dottie and family. Blue just loved the addition and forced himself into their room and made them comfortable. I still had to work with Dottie first in getting her friendly before I could approach the kittens. I never had feral cats like this before.

This is my oldest boy - Fletcher.
Someone left the kitties at a farm down the road (working farm, no one living there)at too young of an age. The first kitty was a girl that her feet was so cold and she was bones. I fed her but she died the following day.
It took 10 days and then I caught the other kitten - Fletcher

Oh, he is beautiful! You have a big heart!

Emily, who is our current cat, hates cats so we are confined to just her. She tolerates dogs which I found amazing but all the dogs she meets in our house have been trained by more assertive cats so they show respect.
