If I ever took in a stray? I used to rescue all what I could back in my country, Romania, where dogs are walking on the street to nowhere, they are hit by cars or people. I had one time in my apartment about 13-14 dogs, all rescued, strays, puppies or adults, and one female who was pregnant; she gave birth at 7 puppies. I took care and I found families for each of them. And one particulary stayed with me, we called him Lion, he was beautiful and extremely smart; he passed away 2 years ago at 20 years. My mother who is 83, has 3 stray dogs, all are happy, they were 4, one died at 18 this year. Stray dogs are so much better than brreds, breeds are stubborn, stray dogs are kind, good and forever thankful you gave them love and a home. I find it like a racial behaviour when people want only breeds! It is not fair! People, dog lovers, try a stray dog and you'll be grateful you adopted him!

DSNAKE - Its wonderful you want to help a stray - keep the receipt for the return so u can claim it on taxes as a donation

I will always stop and try to help a stray, and when i get them to trust me i take them to a no kill shelter and pay the fee, so the owner can go claim them. It gets them off the street and they wont get hit by a car then

i just took in a little pitbull mix stray puppy :) we named her Sadie, another family had found her on a walk and could'nt keep her so they had her outside, where she got covered in fleas and bit up, but they gave her to us and now shes happy and healthy, only 1 month old <3

Hey Karin I certainly agree with Lea, you have to give the kittie time and loving as all he has never known love. He will come around just needs time and even if the girls hiss at him or go for him, they will eventually come round.

FYI:

IF you do use the discussion page to submit your story, please know that I for one like receiving the group emails. I am not on the site every day to see the concerns.

When I get a group email, I can come to the site, search for the person, reply on their page or through a message.

Thank you all for what you do to help people and animals!

For Karen who is caring for the stray kitty.

I can say that kitties can take a while to warm up, but with gentleness, patience, and love most will come around.

Sometimes it is difficult to wait for the result that we want, but it is so worth it to see the shy or afraid ones grow to love you!

Let him guide you as to what he needs and when. Some cliches' are very true, such as listen to your heart, and I always add your gut as well!

I believe the key is consistency as this will allow the cat to trust you.

God Bless You and your animal family...
