Has anyone here made a feral kitty into a pet?

3. They'll be fine

I've dealt with feral and semi-feral "barn" cats many times. The under-house crawl space fits the bill quite nicely. Just ask someone to leave food and water out daily in your absence. Cats are very resourceful but you have to interact with them on their terms. You're not going to turn a feral cat into a non-feral cat unless they want it.

Do any of them have "tipped" ears? Those will have been neutered or spayed. You might think about trapping any that have both tips and get them neutered or spayed. A very good resource for all of this information including help, if you need it, tending to your furry friends, is a local rescue group. Oakland has many and they're very experienced and anxious to help.
