So my elderly father has been feeding the stray cats in his neighborhood for years! I live in a different state and I have gotten all the feral cats fixed and veted and put back outside at my dads house. The friendlier ones I brought to a local rescue as to be adopted to a indoor home. He currently feeds 14 adult cats that have been TNR.
My issue is my father is moving to a different state and I am trying to figure out how to make sure they will continue to be taken care of. I have checked with neighbors, people in the area and no one else feeds cats or will take on the job to do so. I know more then likely the person who will buy the house will not want the cats there and don’t trust what they could possible do….and I will not just leave the cats behind.
I have called many “ sanctuaries” that take feral cats, I am willing to pay for each of them to be taken care of at these outdoor cat sanctuaries but some are overfilled and others don’t look like they really take care of them. I’m not looking to just get rid of them I want to make sure they will be in a safe place.
As for me, I don’t have a backyard, if I did I would take them and get them acclimated. I have researched “farm cats” and even the process of how to get feral cats comfortable in a new environment.
I know he should of never started to feed the cats to begin with.
I know moving them should be the last resort.
I know I will NOT leave them behind.
What I don’t know is where to get help. I have reached out to Alleycats.org and many other organizations all leading to dead ends!
Please, can anyone give advice on what to do? There are so many organizations out there that help feral cats, and not one can help me.
