I take care of 24 cats living in and around my house, and about 12 of them are friendly to me but are afraid of others in general. 3 stay in my house 90% of the time, and 8 spend the night in my garage. The rest stay outside in my backyard and in my neighbor's house behind our house. I don't live in a colony where all the houses are crunched together; houses are pretty separate and i have a pretty big yard next to my house. I have fed them everyday for the last 3 years, and i plan on getting them adopted soon, but im pretty emotionally attached to them now so i would like to see them everyday.
But I have to go visit family in Mexico for about 2 weeks in July, and Im worried about my cats. How can I make sure they're all in safe hands? My current options i have in my are:
- have the 3 indoor cats spend time in a trusted friends house in an expanded cage with food, water and litter boxes
- have some of the 8 garage cat boarded but idk how much it would cost and where, any recommendations in Houston area?
- have someone i know feed the outdoor cats 2x a day, but idk if they're up to do that.. maybe hire a catsitter?
i would really appreciate some advide here, i don't want any more of my cats dying or disappearing
many many many thanks,
