It is going fairly well. After having many cats who were either strays or adopted as
kittens, it is very different and takes patience.
They are very cautious and nervous when anyone comes to the house. They do not
like to be left alone. At first, one still went outside last winter, but when spring and
fleas came back, we decided both would be indoor cats. She still asks most days to
go out, but does not push the matter. Overall they seem happy and we are glad to
have them.
At first, one was very terrified of anything resembling a snake. I would definitely keep
keep your precious snake separated from your cats. And you might want to have a
caregiver come in rather than board, as it would be stressful for them to board.
Remember with patience, overtime their brains will to some extent rewire and they will be
much less feral. The organization TinyKittens has placed many former ferals with
great success. They are living as happy indoor cats and show great affection to
their owners. It is a joy to see them transform. Some though are not ready and are
returned to their feral colony where they are fed and watched carefully for any needed
medical intervention.
