The general time allotted for any cat that one plans to release in an area,
is 4 weeks.that includes taking the cat outside to allow it to get to know
the area, in increments. The cat must realize that this is her home, and she
must learn the scent.
If this were dead in the middle of winter,
The one concern is that Hemy is NOT being released in her own territory and
if she doesn't get used to Bonnie and her yard, may start searching for the
old area.

Try contacting a rescue to see if they have one you can borrow or look on your
post on your local Free Cycle list if you have one. I had so many extra crates
when I stopped fostering kittens I didn't know what to do with them!

Update on my Dilemma and numerous questions..
The little feral cat from my aunt's house is now safely in a large cage on
my back deck. Phew! Forgotten Felines lent me the cage and advised that
should be her transition place. She's mad as heck and won't look at me
and hisses, but
I followed up at the clinic yesterday: their policy is to scan each cat for
a chip when they come in. This one was scanned and nothing found.

I pet sit for a feral cat. She was trapped released the lady re-released
her at her new house when she moved. I would have to leave the front door open
so she could sneak inside. She now runs up to my car begs to be picked up.
Yet the woman still calls her feral, LOL.
So Hemy may very well
I never thought of checking for chips. We have so many unwanted babies around
here. Everyone wants to let their Moma have babies for the kids sake or say
it costs too much to spay them. Then when they get pregnant, they take them
out and dump them, let them fend for themselves or kill them.
I know a cat who was reunited with her person after 2-1/2 years because of a
microchip. Always worth scanning, just in case.
(I'm in California though. All the rescues chip animals before adoption here.
I'm sure other parts of the country do no.)

Yea but my theory is where the cats lie is the coolest spot. They somehow
find the slightest breeze or the floor is cool or something--but there's a
reason why they lie where they do! LOL

CHANGE IS HARD Every time a new cat comes in, everyone gets their nose out of
joint. They hide, do a lot of hissing and slapping and get angry with me.
They won't come near me and act like I am traitor. This goes on for a week or
2 and then all settle down.

I used a 12x6x6 foot dog kennel with a topper attached to a bathroom
window by ductwork and a pet door. Others have great outdoor areas
available but this is fairly quick and, ifthe door is secured with a

I guess I am trying to say you can hold them inside a lot longer than
estimated. I've had them in for 3-4 months. The thing is to build a
relationship with them during that period. They see you with the
food. I handle all the dry food with my hands so there is my odor.
Etc. I like
If you put the kitty in a cage or secure porch or outbuilding for a
couple of weeks, she will learn where she gets her food, where home
is, and hopefully stay around. Course this depends on your having the
right weather, or a porch with the right temperature and protection,
etc.

I just do not believe that FELV is that contagious. We know FIV isn't
that contagious except thru deep bite wounds. I kind of think it's the
