My family was handed a feral cat today by our dog-loving neighbor wth the advisory that he'd been in a bush behind her house for at least 48 hours, and that she eventually went out there to find him stuck or something. He (or she) is about 5 weeks old, has what looks like an eye infection, and is positively terrified. We've already left messages with all the local feral programs and shelters and so forth, but we won't get an answer back for at least a day, and he's constantly yowling. How do we make him happy until the shelter/catch-spay-release program calls and we can give him to them?
