Thank you so much for the reply Tang. Since I have s many responsibilities at home with 6 dogs, I don't go away on holiday often, not even for a week-end. I have only been away twice while having pets and it was only for one night. I have no huge desire to leave home for more than an afternoon or evening anyways, I get homesick very easily. I know of someone who cares for a feral cat colony (they have them at their shop at the back). I can ask them if they know of anyone or I can talk with my neibours.

I am not planning on restricting them. I just want to make their current living arrangements more safe, like putting a roof on the run and a little cat house for when it gets really cold. They live in a dog run I don't use that is attached to the shed. I use the run to store junk.

I did find a society that does the same thing.

Thank you ALL so much for the help.
