We were adapted by a nutered male, 1-2 years old. It was without collar, free of ticks and flees, and by its behavior a very loved house cat, probably accustomed to children. It goes out only to relieve itself. It was ill when it came in, and underweight. I judge it hadn't eaten for about two weeks.
We sought its owner without success, will try more aggressively after New Year's day.
A family with young children, seeing my ad, wants to adapt this cat. It has very much settled here and may find the move traumatizing, or it may adjust easily, I don't know.
My question is this. How long and in what manner should I seek the original caregiver, and should I allow this interested party adapt the cat?
