We closed on our property today. It is completely barren and we have to put electric, well and septic and also a doublewide on it. This will take 4-6 months to do so. My father lives down the street and has asked us to move in with him for that time so that we can save up the money (rather then paying rent for a house that isn't ours). When we do get in to our own place (finally), they will have 7 acres to roam freely.
The concern is that we have 7 ferals that are coming with us. We have been feeding them for their entire lives and can not nor will we leave them. I have to build some type of enclosure for them and am concerned about the length of time they would need to be sequestered. They are our full time cats and they have never been kept in one place (except when we trapped them to fix them). My dad has severe asthma so Sunny (our indoor cat) will also have to go outside on the front porch.
This is another big change. I don't know if the cats will be able to live like that for such a long period of time, but leaving them is just not an option.
Do you think that this is ok to do?
