Question
i recently (yesterday) adopted feral cat he doesnt eat drink period, bites ,scratches at slightest socialization attempts. any suggestions?

Answer
HI Michelle,

I don't know if you adopted him froma  group and if they had made any socialization progress so far - if they had, he may need some time to settle in to his new home. Cats are always very upset by a change in home and family, and more so formerly ferals.

Here are some tips on socializing your kitty:
