The Move is ON!

Perfect, moving to Florida in July. Ugg. So I'm waiting for my lawyer to tell me the closing date and when I have to get out, so I can arrange the mover. What a mess this is going to be. Packing is now going into overdrive,and I have to finalize how I'm getting three (more liley four) cats into a mini-van and drive for two days. This means that the outside cat, Baby, will probably be moving into my house today. She doesn't know it yet; she's been outside her whole life which is probably around five years. But she counts on me, and I'm no longer going to be there, so I guess she has to come along. Welcome to the inside Baby. This will be an interesting few weeks. If you feel that way about Florida in July, why are you moving there? I'm not criticizing, just curious. Good luck with the move, and especially with Baby. He's moving there to be closer to his elderly mother. Jill And because I really hate winter. Hot I don't mind so much. |

Welcome to the inside Baby. Good for you! Otherwise poor Baby would be abandoned. More people should treat feral cats as you're doing. She isn't really feral though. I can pet her and even scratch under her chin. Her mother, Jet, is truly feral and is one of the reasons I left Baby outside. They often hang out together and I never wanted to break them up. There is also Buddy, an intact male. He's also too feral to consider taking inside. But Baby should adapt well. I didn't manage to get her in during the last week but I have to do it very soon. The timing is pretty bad, On June 27th I go to Chicago for a family get together. We all hang out out at a brother's big old house for a week. Then I come back on July 4th and have four days until the move is scheduled. So I have to get Baby in soon so she can at least get used to things (and the other cats) before I disappear for a week. What a mess. |

Welcome to the inside Baby. This will be an interesting few weeks. Were you able to bring Baby inside? I hope it was successful. MaryL Not yet, there was too much chaos in the house over the weekend and I didn't want her around with all of that going on. I need a few consecutive days home without other people around. I'm using up a lot of vacation days right now so I'm off work almost every other day. I need to be home for a few days once I bring baby in so it's probable that I'll work today and Wednesday, and then have Thursday and Friday off. So I'll probably take her in on Wednesday night, isolate her for a day or two, and then let the rabble mix it up. The other cats sort of know her since I often pet her and then come in so they smell her. And they watch from the living room window when I feed her and the other outside cats. It's also possible that my cat Scooter is Baby's dad, but we don't know that. I have no idea if he would recognize her even if that were the case. The big problem for me is those other outdoor cats. Jet (Baby's mom), Buddy, and sometimes Elmer. They're all too feral to be moved indoors, and both myself and the other main feeder are moving away in July. There are two other people who feed them, but one is very elderly and the other is very poor. I'm planning on sending the poor one food on a monthly basis so the cats can survive. Probably those big bags of dry food from Costco. Some wet food as well. |

That is really a special thing for you to send food every month (and probably much better than sending money because you can be sure it goes to cat food. We have an organization here that does TNR, and they have set up a number of feeding stations for feral cats. MaryL |

Where I live there is a group that does the trap/neuter/release thing and feeding stations (and food) provided by volunteers. Jill |

Continuing conversations to try to convert (or converse with) them keeps them coming back. Makes no sense. Jill |
