I have an outdoor cat that i feed everyday. I feed him because my mom liked him, she passed away 6 months ago of cancer. She wanted to bring him inside, but i didnt wanted us to have a 3rd cat. I regret not letting her bring him in. I wanted her to bring him in once we found out she was sick, but my brother refused. We live in his house.
I hate that he is outside, i need to sit with him for 20-30 minutes every single day, because 2 other cats come and fight him for his food. He gets scratches and has a mark of blood on his cheek and under his chin.
these other two cats have food, because there are two other people in the neighborhood that give out dry cat food. I give Tito wet food, because my mom wanted him to eat well. im willing to go out everday with him and feed him, but there are days when im tired, or in pain and just cant be outside in those hard chairs.
Right now my situation is not good, my car hasnt worked for 6 weeks, and had been barely working before that. I dont have a job, i was offered a job, but the place closed down.
I have plans of eventually moving out once i find a job, and can afford it. But that will be a long time from now.
I dont know what to do. My mom never wanted him adopted by strangers, in case they werent good people. My brother wont let me bring him in. The only other person that cares about him, my sister, cant adopt him, because her breathing gets severely affected when shes around cats.
She offered to me to have her as an outdoor cat, and put out food for him. She lives in a nice, and safe neighborhood. But i am nervous, because she lives an hour away.
Is it a good idea to change a cat into a completely different neighborhood? I know this isnt a serious problem, but im trying to care for him for my mothers memory.
