Jane's house is located in a rather poor neighborhood inside the Waycross city limits. It is an area once overrun with stray cats. During the three years that she has owned her house, she and Sandy have worked to trap and neuter as many of the stray and feral cats near Jane's home. Many of the initially "feral" cats quickly became domesticated after being captured, and are now either permanent residents or available for adoption. However, some of the cats have retained their feral qualities, whether in part or in full.

There are several feral cats out at our land off west Carswell, some ferals and semi-ferals that live inside Jane's house, and at least six ferals eat on the front and back porch of Jane's house regularly. (She is working to trap them, but is often hindered by her own cats' willingness to enter the traps!)

Below are pictures of some of our ferals and semi-ferals.

This is Buddy. He was trapped in Jane's neighborhood, and lived in Jane's bathroom for a month after getting neutered while she tried to domesticate him. Unfortunately, Buddy remains completely feral. He was moved out to the land back in June 2009, and continues to do well... although he won't come within twenty feet of a human!

This is Sissy, and as you might guess, we suspect that she is Buddy's sister. She eats regularly on Jane's back porch, but we have not yet been able to trap her.

Unfortunately, Jane's neighborhood has a large feral cat population. This mother (who has one dead eye) and her two kittens have been eating on Jane's back porch regularly as well. Hopefully they (and Sissy, above) can be trapped, neutered, and released at the land fairly soon!

Big Guy he showed up out at the land all on his own! We would suspect that he had been abandoned out there, except for the fact that he was totally feral when he arrived. He has been fixed, and is currently living at Jane's house, where he is fast becoming a friendly, domesticated house cat! We may soon even put him up for adoption.

The cat to the left is Mini; the tabbies, whom we have named Tabby 1 and Tabby 2 are her children. Mini was a feral whom we were unable to catch before she had kittens. She hid the kittens from us until they were several months old. By that time, Tabby 1 and Tabby 2 were too feral to be tamed. They have all been fixed, and they live out at our land.

The video below is of Big Tabs, a neutered semi-feral who lives in Jane's neighborhood.
He was recently attacked by another feral, and recuperated inside Jane's house.
During this time, Jane discovered that he has an amusing tickle spot:
