Acclimation recommendations

In order to increase the chances that your cats will stay on your property for years to come, we recommend the following:

• The colony’s new home must be located a reasonable distance from heavy traffic or other vehicular dangers, and have a caretaker who understands that he or she is assuming responsibility to feed, shelter, and care for the cats for the rest of their lives.

• Housing that provides adequate shelter from the weather is needed for the feral cats.

• The cats should be confined in their new home for a period of 3 – 4 weeks (4 weeks is preferred).

• Daily visits should be made to ensure the bonding essential to relocation.

• The cats need to be provided fresh food and water on a daily basis during the confinement period as well as afterwards. Establish a regular schedule and the cats will anticipate feeding time.
