Last month there was a thread about Kansas feral cats being killed. They are being trap-neutered and relocated to colonies with permanent caregivers, as returning them to their current location will endanger their lives.
I've been asked to take 2 of them into my colony and have not done that before. Got great tips from many people (many are contradictory), and would like to hear any advice from folks that have gone thru this before.
I was going to crate them in the barn with litter/food/water for a 2 week period. The existing colony visit that barn so they should get used to the scents of not only the residents, but the area. My only hesitation is that the barn is a pass-thru area - most of the ferals prefer living under my house (and I can't fit a crate under there). The barn is about 50 yards from the house itself.
Thoughts?
