So it’s almost been a year since I moved houses and the kitty gang (MeowMeow, Nuggets, Chino, Nacho) slowly stopped showing up to eat each time I visited the old location. BunBuns was the only cat that would show up everyday. I noticed now that she was alone without the rest of her kitty clan, other more aggressive cats started to take over the territory and injure BunBuns regularly.
I was advised by many to not try and relocate an outdoor cat since they can die trying to run back to their old location, so I refrained until I realized the aggressive territorial cats might hurt BunBuns to the point of death. So I decided to take a chance and bring her here to the new neighborhood, which is much calmer with barely any cats in the area.
I trapped her and released her here, only for her to freak out and run away instantly, as expected. I then drove around the neighborhood for 2-3 days until I found her in a bush, extremely lucky I know. In my head she was going to be hungry, thirsty, disheveled, but I found her content, full and playing with a new kitty (thank goodness). I had to walk her back to the house and let her acclimatize to the new space.
Happy to report that BunBuns is now fully comfortable and enjoys her new outdoor space, never leaves and nobody hurts her anymore.
