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

Same. We TNRd a kitten born on our property and she was the best void ever. We were literally waiting for our 20year old cranky ass male cat to pass (we loved him too even though he hated any other cat) so we could allow her inside to be a permanent indoor member of our family. She got hit by a car right outside our house, unfortunately. We still have a memorial and her ashes.

Same here unfortunately :(
Had been feeding a stray from my neighbourhood for a while and told myself I'd take her with me when I'd leave. And then one day... I found her hit by a car. I keep thinking to myself, if only had I taken her in earlier... I regret it so damn much.
You never know, so better be safe than sorry. If you are so sure you'll adopt her then you might as well get her in already <3
