I working at the Parking Spot at Dallas Love Field and there is a black intact male, that appears to be about 8-9 months old. He is friendly, will let people pet him, he greets me in the morning, follows me to my car, rolls on his back, grooms himself in front of people easily. Several of us have been feeding him. He is a crier. He cries to be fed, cries to be pet. Usually, enough of that and he goes away. Now he hangs by the shed (where employees clock in) almost non-stop. He sleeps in the bushes, wakes up, cries, cries, cries. The problem is I cannot be there every day to feed him and some employees are on board to feed him, others are not. Some of the employees don't like cats period. I bought a trap and plan on trapping him as soon as I get the trap to have him neutered. My original plan was to return him to the site but I am very concerned that I cannot be there every day to feed him and that management will say he has to go. There is at least one other cat on the property but this cat is very feral and will not go near anyone. I don't know whether I should return him to the site or take him home, if he is not HIV or leukemia positive. I have three other cats, two indoor, and one indoor/outdoor. I've given thought to trying to make him a house cat but that just seems like so much work because I would have to get the other cats to accept him, or I have thought of confining him in the garage for about four weeks and relocating him outside. If he were confined for four weeks, I feel like my other neutered male will be used to him by the time I let him out of confinement. At least this way I can be available as his caretaker.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I do know that I cannot leave him unneutered because it's only a matter of time before he sprays and then management really will tell us he has to go.
