I live in a village in Co Tipp, where there are a lot of stray cats. There are lots of kind people who feed them and most of them have been neutered, courtesy of Tipperary Friends of Animals. Thankfully, one of their volunteers lives in the village and keeps a look out for any intact cats
In the last 6 months, 3 cats have taken up residence on my verandah. Tipperary Friends of Animals won't help find homes for them, as they consider them wild. They are not wild, they are just unsocialised. I've given homes to many stray cats over the years, and know how to win them over
I've been taking care of them. They've got warm places to sleep and rest, with plenty of food and they're slowly coming round.
Here's the issue. I'm going to be leaving Ireland within the next year and I'd really like to find homes for them. Do you have any suggestions? I know it's almost impossible to find homes for strays, but I have to try.
I've attached photos of them. I could take the black one with me, he's a sweetheart, but I'd really struggle to take the 3 of them plus my own indoor cat. If I can't find homes for the other 2 (females), the woman who volunteers for the animal rescue said she'd look out for them, but that's not giving them a home.
Sorry for the epic. I just wanted to give a bit of background. Thanks.
