I cannot be sure that they will be okay in this home. They are 100% outdoors right now.
Our plan was to trap them, have them fixed, release them and try for adoption. A couple really, really wants both of them. My fear is they are too used to the outdoors and will not make good indoor cats. I can't go and fix them now because they clip the ears and the new owners don't really love that idea. Which I understand. They would prefer to get them fixed on their own.
Here's my further dilemma. I would say they are 4 months old, for sure. They still don't come to me. They talk to me all the time, they want me to come and play with them, and they are on a feeding schedule. They want to be near me, and they get kind of close. Just never close enough.
Today I was finally trying with some wet food. It was working. They were really wanting that food bad enough to come even closer.
I could probably have touched 'wash's' head but I was not at all taking chances. I need to buy some safety gloves first.
What do you think is the best idea at this time? Still trying to find them a home (even though I'm sure we've found one) or allowing them to live outside with no care? We are moving in 7 months and cannot take them with us. We have 4 of our own that and is all that we can handle.
Any advice would be great. My Fiancee and I love them already, so much. We just want to do the right thing by them.
