Hi new to your site. I have been feeding A feral cat for two years. I also have a homeless cat for about 6 months. I am moving and have found a neighbor two houses away that will continue feeding and shelter. How do I show them where there new feeding will take place. I did put out a bowl of food approx 20 feet away and they don't notice it.
Thanking you for any help you can provide.

Depending on how far the new feeding location is, you can start moving the food gradually towards the new location.  If the neighbor(s) in between allow it, move straight across those yards, increasing the distance a few feet every day.  If they have houses, you might try moving them to the new property.

Will the new feeder be expecting them to stay on or near their property?  If so, you might try confining them on the new property so they begin to learn their new "territory."

Thank you for not abandoning them.  Many people would.

Have you tried putting some sort of stinky food like tuna in the bowl?

Thank you I will try moving the food thru empty neighbors house. I already put they shelter containers there. One more question. When I go out to feed them they are already waiting under my car. What do I do just walk by the,? Thanks again.
