I never held a cat I was going to release more than 3 weeks. Some cats fall to pieces in captivity. I had a just tnred male cat who would not eat or drink, but was otherwise healthy. My rule was I release the kitty after they ate, so if they decide to lay low for awhile that got a meal into them first. I held this cat a day past his release date because he wouldn't eat. I was concerned. I was told by a more experience tnr Person at the time, that it us not uncommon for ferals to stop eating in captivity and if he looked healthy otherwise, than to release him. I did just that and he got back to his old self in no time. Some cats just do so poorly when trapped or crated, it just the way it is.
