Hi! I've posted about my ferals in the past and gotten great advice from everyone. My feral mom and her two kittens who are now 2 years old (all successful TNRs) still come by daily to eat, and as it's getting colder they've been using the kitty tubes I have set up for warmth. I love seeing them every day.
I am renting my current residence, and the cats spend their days in the woods behind my backyard where they visit me. The house on the other side of the woods went up for sale and I'm buying it so I can continue caring for the cats indefinitely. It's about 400 feet through the woods. I'm attaching a satellite photo of the two properties - red circle is where I live now and yellow is where I am moving. I don't believe either of my new neighbors have dogs but I think they may have children that play in the yards.
I'm looking for advice on how best to transition them or thoughts on whether my ferals will find my new location. I can pretty much just move my feeding station, and use the exact same food so I am hoping the smells will attract them, but also worried they won't trust going to a new spot or get scared away by the kids etc. Any suggestions are much appreciated!
