I have a small colony I care for in the parking lot of my apartment building. About 4 or 5 of them. The old dad, the middle aged mom (5 or 6), her 2 adult kids (boy and girl about 3yo) and another one that cones by every so often.
The mom in particular is so sweet. I've gotten her to trust me. She waits for me by the exit when i leave and when I get home at 4 am, she recognizes the sound of my motorcycle and greets me on arrival.
Im sure I can take her in, but her daughter and son are really bonded with her. When i think about getting mom adopted out i start feeling very guilty because i know her kids are going to be wondering where she is at. Both her kids are scared of humans.
Both ladies are fixed, so no worries about more kitties.
