We adopted a stray cat named Peaches back in April. Since then she has been living, quite confortably on my front porch and occasionally in the bedroom with us.
Here is the link to her thread that I started from the beginning http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...l&pagenumber=1
We are moving to a new house the middle of November and I am very scared that if I relocate her to the front porch of the new house, she might get disoriented and run away, or worse get hurt.
I want to keep her because I am in love with her. She is one of the sweetest cats I have ever known. She is declawed and spayed (by her original owners).
What I need some advice on is this. I have a couple of options here:
Should I place her at the local no-kill animal shelter here in my area? They are very animal friendly and sponser adoption days. Hoping she will be adopted by someone who will give her a good furrever home? Here is thier site http://www.catsexclusive.org/
OR-
Should I build her a shelter out back of the new house and have her live in that?
OR-
Should I try to place her on the doorstep of the new house and hope nothing happens to her?
Bringing her inside the house is not an option, we already have 4 indoor cats and our cats are not accepting to her.
I really need some advice and help with this. I think I already know what the answer will be (placing her with a new owner), but it will break my heart to see her go and I will be so worried that she may go to someone who will let her back outside and she will become a stray again. I couldn't bare to let that happen to her.
