Thanks for that Jen!
We have lost more than a few of the strays, cast-outs, abandoned, and lost cats and kittens we've had visiting/living on our car port (read here, CAT PORCH). The neighborhood has been plagued with good old RedNeck gun slingers that have nothing better to do than shoot the cats others have abandoned when they move out of the trailer homes just down the hill from our acre. Lisa and I have cared for every one that has shown up looking for food and shelter, love and attention. But not being able to keep them from rambling the area searching for their lost families, they have been taken down one by one.
Now there are only 2, and I'm thinking they are residents from up the hill come down hunting for something different than what they have. Money is tight with us, but if they wish to stay, (our two outsiders have already accepted them and share their food and nest/beds with them when they visit) they are more than welcome.
At our age I'm hoping we don't have any more adopting us. We do NOT want to be outlived by our babies. At their ages (all 6 years and older) few, if any folk around here would bother to adopt them.
