When I re-locate ferals I set them up in a big dog crate in the are I will be
releasing them in for 2 weeks minimum. That way the know where they are going
to be fed. Make sure you feed them where the crate was. They have always stayed
around once freed.

Subject: [Felvtalk] Please Share Thoughts on TNR Dilemma
Wish I would have thought to ask this yesterday! Now I’m literally an hour
away from needing to decide.
The problem is that my aunt (who’s tame housecat I took) also had a “feral”
living in her large yard. The cat showed up about 2 years ago, and for the
past year I believe the cat has pretty much been a resident there (her only
source of food?).
Yesterday I trapped her and took her to Forgotten Felines, the local and
excellent TNR organization. Guess what? She had already been spayed. That
means some (fill in the blank nasty term) ‘person’ had just abandoned her!
So here’s the dilemma: if I release her in my yard, she’s in a strange place.
The only thing holding her near will be my good heart. If I take her back to
my aunt’s house (which is to go on the market soon) god knows what will happen,
where she will find food, and the next ‘trapper’ may not have as good a
motivation as I do.
I see it as 50/50 for this poor cat.
But what would YOU do?
Thanks for your thoughts.
