Default want to relocate feral cats

About a year ago four kittens were born to a feral queen in my garage.
I've been feeding and watering them, but they do hunt. The mama is an
excellent hunter. I'd like to return these ferals to a new location. I
trapped and had them all spayed and neutered, including the queen, but
now I'm planning to move and I can't take them with me and I can't
leave them here. What are the criteria for a location in which to
place one-year-old ferals? - Bob


I wonder why you had to trap them to have them spayed
and neutered. They all could have been tame with you.
Four years ago a near-feral pregnant cat was trapped and
brought to me, because I volunteered to keep the kittens
and return the mother (spayed) after the kittens had been
weaned. This saved the lives of six kittens and spared the
mother from a barbaric late-term abortion thst her so-
called owners were planning to have done. All of the
kittens and the mother became tame with me. I had a
reunion with the mother a couple of months ago, who
remembered me after nearly four years and let me pet her
extensively, even though she has never let anyone else
pet her at all. I still have the kittens (who will be four
years old in two days), and my other cats, except that two
of the older cats have died during the past four years,
