In my "hobby" of TNRing ferals in my community, I have become acquainted with a couple who have been feeding a colony that live on and around their deck. I have TNR'd all of them and feed them when the couple are away a few days.
They have just sold the house and the new owners want the cats gone. I went to speak to a neighbor about letting cats move to their property but sadly the woman was in the hospital having a kidney biopsy.
These sellers don't seem to know any of their neighbors to ask for permission to relocate the cats to another property. I live in another part of the community but met the hospitalized neighbor when I started trapping there.
This is a Pocono mountain community with 1500 homes, more are vacation homes than full time residents. These new owners will not be here full time and have a large dog.
The couple will stop feeding the cats today, asked me not to feed them and are returning the shelters I made. The closing will be soon and the buyers have put a cause in the contract that the cats must be gone.
Any advice for me as to what to do for these ferals, about 10 of them, 2 or 3 are friendly enough to be pet. I have 15 cats already so cannot take any more or husband will divorce me, he is not particularly a cat person but I am fortunate that he tolerates my cat craziness.
