I have never done this before but wanted to put it out to as many people as possible.
I am looking to sell my beautiful acre and home in Bay Minette, Alabama. I need a special person/people for it because I have an established feral cat colony here.
My husband passed a year and a half ago. I don't drive and even getting simple things done has been a challenge.
It sits on an acre of land with fruit trees, it's truly beautiful here with an open back porch and a front porch to sit on. An hour away from beautiful beaches and 45 minutes from Mobile and an hour from Pensacola Florida. If you boat or fish, you're maybe five miles from a boat launch and the Tensaw river. It's beautiful there and lots of wildlife.
It's a mellow way of life here. If you drive you'll be amazed at all there is to do. This is Jimmy Buffett territory, and the vibe is laid back. The town of Bay Minette (it is a city-but being from New York-it reminds me of a small town) is a mellow place. Aside from people on their way to work, you may not see anyone else all day. We have wildlife here as well, I have a flock of feral chickens that eats my cats food on the porch. I have two possums that live here, Senior Gordo and Sassypants and two raccoons, Madeline and Christy. I have an armidillo that comes and eats and I've seen fox and even some little weasel type guys one morning. The house is a double wide custom made mobile home with siding. It has a working fireplace and split level with two bedrooms and a bath on one side and one bedroom and the master bath on the other.
I've had people call and want to buy-but they are brokers. I need this place to go to someone who loves cats and would be willing to take on a cat colony here. All but 2 newcomers are spayed/neutered. Those two we're working on-they are new males that just showed. A few of the cats have been here many years-I had the dad of three of them inside as he had health issues. The adult kittens are now nine years old and know people. You can pet them on their terms. I bring in two in bad weather but again-on their terms. I think they would be miserable moving as this is their home. I'm 68 and without my husband things are just too much for me here. The local real estate valued it at about 200,000 but what matters to me more than money is to make sure the cats are loved and cared for. If you know of anyone that would fit the bill, or you're interested, please reach out to me. So much work for animals needs to be done here-and in this town. But there are many good people here, and many from other areas as well. Thank you, Deb. I can be reached at mommytocats@gmail.com or 718 501 0799.
