I have been stressing out over the two ferals that I have using a Rubbermaid shelter down by my woods. It's fine for the weather we've had so far in PA, but the temperature is dropping to 3 degrees this Wednesday! I have 160 ft of extension cords just to get a heated water bowl down there, I'm not sure if I could add more length and a heating pad to make it to their sleeping area.
My aunt offered to help me trap them, get them neutered and then take them to her barn about 10 miles away where she has about 10 other ferals that come and go, but she has heating pads. My question is- would that be a bad idea? What if they freak out over all of the other cats and run away? Now they are in a strange place and have NO shelter. I would feel horrible for interfering, maybe I'm messing with nature too much? Should I just keep them here? They are really wild, I can't get anywhere near them. I'd appreciate any advice!
(If they stay, I will still get them fixed)
