One last word on this, for the sake of the cats intended for barn home placements. To whomever is on this list and in contact with the people who actually have these cats, please have them contact me off-list. I know a lot of people who work with feral and undersocialized cats and surely we should be able to absorb 6 cats. Please have the person with these cats get in touch with me. Releasing cats who have been raised indoors to some outside location is not in the best interests of the cats. We can come up with a much better solution.
