Apparently a feral colony prolly isn’t going to happen. What (I’m told) does work is finding a feral cat a spot as a barn cat, so now that’s what I’m trying for.
So, I’m reaching out to my blog friends. I am in the Chicago area and we would be willing to drive him a couple of states in whatever direction to get him to a good home. If any of ya’all know someone who has room for a feral at their country home or farm, please contact AngryGrayRainbows@gmail.com. Friends in the MidWestern states who live in the country – if you can ask your friends and neighbords if they have room for a barn cat that has been neutered and is up to date on all vaccinations, please ask around for the sake of Mr. Orange. We would alsp be willing to help pay for his food long-term, if desired.

Good luck to Mr. Orange, from another feral cat rescuer. 🙂
What happened to the cat?
