This little guy is feral. I had to squat in the cold for 10 minutes like a wildlife photographer to take this photo. He’s super afraid of people

He left well-fed. He’s visited a few more times since.

    Keep feeding him and he might get used to you.

    Is there a warm nest or box nearby for him? If not, you could try to give him a cozy place to stay warm for the winter.

    If you are patients, by next winter he may be used to you enough that he will come indoors. :)

      Oh yea, he lives in a rural area so there’s plenty of structures he can sneak into. Lots of sheds and such

      He’s friends with a stray that I’ve sort of half-adopted, who sleeps in my hallway sometimes. I’m hoping the two of us can talk him into staying with us every now and then
