Atlanta GA Area Ferals Need Relocating

Anyone in the Georgia area know of a place - i.e., farms, barns, etc. to relocate 5 feral kitties? Even if I could find 5 places to take one each I would be happy...I would get them s/n first and shots and bring a cage to keep them in so they could get used to a new area.

I have been feeding ferals at this awful apt. complex for 4 yrs. Started out with about 30 cats, now down to 5. The old management did not mind what I was doing, but now they got a new manager who does not want me feeding them. I have to sneak there at night and then get accosted EVERY NIGHT by a gang of very aggressive maniacal raccoons; the last straw was when one of the raccoons grabbed my foot! (Thank God for thick shoes) I am not sure how much food the cats are actually getting now.

This is a dangerous place for me and cats - drug busts, pit bulls, a trash compacting dumpster (I am sure some cats have met their demise in that thing), busy driveway (some cats have met their demise running across the driveway also). This place is depressing me and I have to get those cats out of there.

I would love to find them a place to go and never have to set foot back in this awful place. I would drive them anywhere within 2 hrs of Atlanta, or more if need be. and I would bring them lots of food, too.

Thanks - if you know of any horse farms, barns etc. that would take 1 or 2 cats, please pass the word!

Are they already spayed/neutered and vaccinated? Makes it a lot easier to relocate. Have you put up notices at farm supply and feed stores? I assume you've already contacted local rescues and shelters?

...and have you tried the education approach with the new manager? He understands a colony of existing cats will help drive new ones away?

And there are feeding stations that can be easily built to prevent raccoons from gaining access to the food, if you'd like the info.

How old are these kittens? Kittens are far easier to socialize than adult cats. You run the risk of the colony running these youngster off and then they'll have to fend for themselves in the wild.
