So hard to let a nice kitty go...
We have had some snow here, and I have two people interested in the little neighbourhood cat.
One person and her husband have a cat who is very ill..so won't take him right now. I have met her - and she is lovely - she says Riddick will be indoors only, and will help to keep the mice down. (I think these people own a dog boarding kennel; I hope the house is in ok shape!)
The second, my friend Donna who loves both cats and dogs and owns both. Since her one semi-feral gave birth to three kittens, and then got spayed, the semi-feral has decided being in the house is just perfect, and is not going back to the shed.
Donna lives on an acreage. The shed is a large shed, solid, and heated because Donna's roommate does his car rebuilds in there. There is an unneutered male in there. Donna thinks he is lonely since the mama cat left.
So Riddick would still get to be 'outdoors', but in the shed. Fed and warm. I don't know how the unneutered boy in there would take to him - though there are lots of hiding places and it's plenty big enough for a cat to have his own space.
Any feelings about this? I don't want Riddick outdoors and cold and scavenging meals from the neighbourhood again - with nowhere warm to sleep. :(
SO hard to let him go, even for his own good! :(
