I have about 4 outside cats (they are not mine) but I feed them and provide water for them in my back porch. My problem is that we will be moving to another state in June 2007 and I can not sleep at night thinking what is going to happen to them.
If I sell my house to people that like animals maybe they will be OK but what if I don't. How are they going to eat and drink water once I have left?
Any suggestions?

I think they should be neutered and put up for adoption now. Or neutered and take them with you. Perhaps a neighbor would be willing to take over your feedings? I can see how terrible you will feel leaving them behind now that they have become dependent on you. That's a tough one.

First I would suggest trapping and getting them spayed/neutered...then, it really depends on the cat. If they are friendly...you can certainly try to find them all new homes. If they are feral...then it may be best to try to find someone else who is willing to take over feeding them.
