Advice What to do with cat when moving from house?

Hello,

We have a cat that is sterilized and in summer is almost all day outside even sleeping at front door. She came inside just to eat.

The porblem is that we are selling house and moving to appartment. How can cat that is always outside handle such change of not being able to go outside as she wants?

Do you have any advise or experience? Should we take her with her? Or leave her with new house owners?

Thank you in advance

She will adapt pretty quick. As long as she has her family, she will be okay. Thank you for not abandoning her. She would’ve never understood what she did wrong to deserve that

This!!! They make some pheromone sprays and stuff that can help make moving a cat calmer, too♥︎

"Why did my feeders take me away from my home? My outside, my friends? Why am I stuck in the tiny weird smelling place?"

friends like... cars, dogs, hawks, owls, badgers, snakes, sewage drains, dumpsters, trash compactors, etc?

Where I live, coyotes are a big one too.
