I know there are many posts here about ferals and I have read through some threads but I wanted to post my situation. I work part time and when I started working there 3 years ago I noticed cats. There are 3. A woman was coming daily to feed them. They are fixed. She died suddenly which I didn't know. A man then man came to feed them associated with the local trap/spay/release organization but stopped coming. Through the local animal benefit thrift store I got his number. He admitted he stopped going and when I called back and told the woman who runs the thrift store she was rather nasty to me. I have since taken over their care.
My work place backs up to undeveloped land which is not buildable. The street out front is bust, but they don't go up that way. I have permission from the administrator to go in on my days off to feed them. Most employees like the cats. There was talk once of trapping them and taking them to the humane society but our local humane society does not take feral cats. This has since kind of faded away.
I can pet the two bonded ones and even partially pick them up. I had to remove a long piece of a hard weed type matter that was sticking out of the males eye the other day. Poor thing. The eye looks good now.
I live in an apartment but I'm looking for manufactured home in a park. I will not buy a house. I did that and I'm nearing retirement so this is what I'm looking for but newer places are hard to come by and more expensive. I would like to try and take the two tamer ones if and when I find a place. Would it ever be possible I wonder? I don't know what their litter box use would be of coarse since they have always been outside. The 3rd one is more feral and I could only take the two. I don't know how my two I have would react but I would have an extra bedroom for them to start.
Sorry this went on so long. Any ideas or thoughts. I worry about them every day.
