My co worker lives in an area with many community cats that were a part of a TNR program. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy about these cats being there and has left a letter on everyone's door saying he was going to 'dispose' of the cats if no one did anything within a week. (We have no idea who this person was).
This was two weeks ago, and some of the regulars havent been seen around the neighborhood. We assume the worst. My co worker took in the one who bonded to their dog, and they are hoping to relocate one of the guys to my yard until he finishes buying his new home. (He is renting now and trying to lay low about having a pet) He will then take the kitty to his permanent home. I have 7 cats and two dogs already, so I'm not able to take on another indoor kitty right now.
I know relocated community cats tend to try to find there way home. How do I make my place so awesome he wont want to leave. I have a shed and will make him a kitty condo in there. I read somewhere that once you relocate a community cat they should be in a kennel for 6-8 week, but this sounds inhumane to me. Any tips to make this a smooth a transition for him?
