Any suggestions, advice, and or resources are welcome and appreciated. It all started 3 days after my miniature schnauzer passed away in March 2023. She was no longer chasing cats out of the backyard. A black female cat showed up several days in a row to visit me outside. She has a loud hello meow and even started to follow me around in the backyard garden and hang out with me just like my late dog would. Seemed like my dog came back in a cat form. She started to enter our home thru the doggie door and surprisingly she was not afraid of me or my pitbull she was comfortable snuggling with him. My dog was so excepting of this cat it was unreal how comforting she was for both me and my dog she helped us thru the grief process. I picked her up and held her and walked around to all my neighbors and she didn’t belong to them so I posted pics of her on different platforms one being the neighborhood app and no one claimed her. I gave her food and water outside and got her fixed right away. Shortly after more cats started showing up in my backyard with her eating the food I put down for her so I started asking around some more and to the neighbors behind me on the next road over said his wife was feeding several cats, but he told her to stop because they were having babies and growing in numbers. That explains why they all ended up in my backyard and all 12 of them are now spayed and neutered. I provide them food, water, shelter, multistory homemade box towers, cat trees, and keep them cool during the summer and warm in the winter. I love all of them deeply and they all know their names and come running when I call out their name. Every day my dog and I hang out on my back patio rug and spend time with the cats. I hand feed them treats and they all patiently take turns eating spoonfuls of pate from a spoon and they get homemade ice cube popsicles made from blended pate/water and placed in the muffin pans to keep the cubes in place. I love every single one of these cats. My heart is breaking as I type this out. I went from zero cats to a dozen cats and I was totally overwhelmed at first because I know caring for animals is a long term commitment and things got easier day by day and they became one of the highlights of my life. I have a senior pitbull nicknamed grandpa because he’s so sweet to the cats and he has been with me since he was 6 weeks old. I’m in a position where I’m suddenly getting forced to move from my home I’ve been in since 2016 with very little time to figure things out. I’m used to making lifelong commitments to all animals in my care and I never saw this day coming because I partially own my home that I have to leave. Can you help point me in the right direction? I would like to rehoming these beautiful sweet outdoor cats? Maybe barn cat programs or any other options? They do hunt lizards mice and birds so that might be helpful to a barn owner who needs rodent control. I’m in Phoenix Arizona. Please be kind this is very difficult for me and my goal is to do what’s best for them as I will no longer be here to care for them.
