Not technically "feral" and not from the Lakes Region but my sons' cat was adopted by him when he (Chino - the cat) was about 1.5 years old. He had been hanging around a woman's garden and she put a Hav-a-Heart trap out for him.....sounds like a GOOD thing, right????
NOT! This woman left him in the trap to die! By the time one of the neighbors found him, his mouth was bloody from trying to chew his way out and he had a broken tooth and severe abrasions around his nose.....
The GOOD news is that he was found in time and is the most AWESOME cat ever! He adjusts to anything...my son tends to move around alot and Chino is perfectly happy as long as he finds his food and litter box. He has NO desire to go outside and just wants to hang with people and be loved....which he is! He's around 6 years old now....
