Just found your site and need some suggestions.
I have been feeding a feral colony for about 5 years - the property management company recently gave me two weeks to relocate them or animal control would come in to trap.
I trapped most of the friendly ones I formed a bond and are now in my home.The others were sent to a cat sancturary in Naples, FL .
I also have four cats that at one time were feral but I have brought home to care for and are fully socialized indoor cats.
What I am wondering about is what is the best way to integrate all of the new cats into my household ?
How long should I keep them separated ? Some seem to be happy to be with me and others seem to have totally forgotten
that I had been feeding and caring for them. I am unsure on how to proceed without making the situation worse for all the cats involved.
Can anyone help me with the best way to do this that would make everyone happy ?
I appreciate any assistance I can get.
Thanks-
