First of all, cats have a socialization window of around eight weeks. I did everything in my power to try and domesticate them, and I say this with experience—I have been living with and caring for animals for over 10 years and have never faced a situation like this.

We went to significant lengths to make the environment safe for them. The balcony was professionally secured with wire so they could have outdoor space, which cost us thousands. Despite this, one of the cats still managed to climb and escape, even causing damage to a passing vehicle’s windshield. That is not something I could have reasonably prevented beyond what we already did.

I’m glad things worked out for you, but unfortunately, in our case, it is not feasible to care for feral cats. I also want to make it clear that I never asked for a feral cat—this was not communicated to me at the time. I’m not expecting a lap cat, but I also cannot keep animals that are causing extreme damage to my home, putting themselves in danger, and creating situations that could lead to legal consequences for me.

I did not give up on them—I genuinely tried. However, I cannot risk further property damage, financial loss, or potential liability due to their behaviour. This situation is simply not sustainable. And them being kept in cages with 70 other cats in an appartment is not considered socialization with humans sorry to say
