Yes, I'm very overwhelmed right now. Adoptions are so low. it's not just me, it's nationally, adoption rates are way down right now. I'm working out a new program to connect cats with local seniors at NO cost to them. I'm going to place my cats in good indoor senior's homes and deliver weekly food/litter supplies free for the duration of the cat being there. My vet says this is a GREAT idea, and they think I will have MANY interested seniors, as they have had many seniors lose beloved cats, and want to adopt another, but that didn't due to cost of upkeep. They suspect that as soon as I get my flyers posted at their office, I will get several interested phone calls in the program. I'm very hopeful that this option may work out in the long run. I don't have funding issues at all, I have space issues, so this would be a perfect solution for me and the cats, and also potentially VERY good for a lonely senior.
The ferals seem well, the ones I've seen anyways, some have disappeared... not uncommon for relocated ferals. You can only expect a 70% survival/success rate on relocated colonies. The other option was a 100% death rate, so it's a good end result, though it's far from ideal. I try to be logical about it. I REALLY miss one of them, and worry about him, he wasn't real feral, maybe he found a home, that's all I can hope for, that he is now a beloved pet somewhere... Mackenzie is his name.
