Les amis des chats et qui s'y connaissent mieux que moi :
Dehors il y a 2 chats errant dans notre parking hlm (contexte des chats toot suivants)

Je vous ai parlé de mes mésaventures avec l'association locale, et je me demandais si, légalement, je pouvais faire ces étapes concernant un des chat errant :
- récupérer le chat Tuxedo dans une caisse de transport
- aller au vétérinaire le plus proche, même si pas notre habituel parce que : il fait chaud et ne connaissant pas l'état de santé du chat, je me vois pas l'embarquer 40min dans une boite qui chauffe
- et si il est pas pucé/identifié, le récupérer.
Tout ça sans en parler à l'association.

Mes craintes :
- l'association, si elle le connait, se fâche légalement
- comme il vient de dehors, est-ce qu'il va s'habituer à la vie de dedans ?
Par exemple, au bout de, disons 4-5 mois, si j'ouvre ma fenêtre avec moustiquaire, est-ce qu'il va essayer de tout déchirer pour sortir ?
Est-ce qu'il peut s'habituer à vivre strictement en intérieur ?
- le Mickey a un coryza chronique (traité régulièrement par l'association), y a-t-il un risque que Tux l'ai aussi ?
- Nous avons un chat actuellement en bonne santé
Le petit miracle, c'est qu'elle a grandit avec un chat qui a eu un calicivirus pendant 10 ans et un coryza pendant 10-15 jours sans jamais etre contaminée.
On ne veut pas faire tourner la chance donc si le Tux est malade... on ne va pas pouvoir le garder chez nous.
Si on n'avait pas de chats... la question se poserait pas.
- je ne parle pas de la sociabilisation avec Mila, car ça sera un loooong processus, qui ne commencera que si le chat est revenu du veto okay.

i hope you can work out a solution that works for you and the cats too
​:Blobhaj_Heart:​

just to say: i've known several former street/stray cats who have adapted perfectly to life 100% indoors. our pia is one of them! so it's definitely possible. it might depend on the temperament of the particular cat, but certainly the cats i've known have been totally fine with not going outside anymore.

we have a screen (moustiquaire) on our door: pia doesn't bother it at all. apart from that she climbed up it once to get a bug.
​:BlobCat_Giggle:​ but she's never tried to destroy it or get out through it.

bon courage pour vous tous !

@moonrabbit thank you !
How much time did Pia spend outside, if you can count ?
This cat, the Tux, seems very young (a year old max) but he can be much older, because I can get close to him (my elec' wheelchair scare him)
And we can't get him/her to the vet yet
LI can't even tel if he is a male or female)

ok so i know very well two cats who went from outdoor to indoor:

pia: we adopted her from SPA when she was ~15 months old. they found her on the streets when she was almost 12 months old; she had kittens of her own
​:bunhdsad:​
between 12 and 15 months, she was with a famille d'accueil for 2 months (with her kittens) and then at the SPA for 1 month.
we don't know what happened to her before — how she ended up on the streets — but they think she was alone outside for several months at least. maybe she was born outside? but we think she was abandoned when she was very small. so probably she was outside for most of her life until the SPA found her.

and then when we lived in spain, we tried to rescue as many street cats as we could (it's very bad there). we couldn't keep them, but we found home for them. one was just over a year old — so maybe like Tux — and neighbours told us he was born on the streets. but he went to a 100% indoor home and was very happy.

but also i know from other people's stories that outdoor cats are often very happy to live indoor lives.
