Black cat is napping in the back yard. Feeling so sad that Melbcat could no longer enjoy like that (safety reasons).

Wondering if I should make a winter shelter for him but what happens if he comes to rely on me/my place and then I move? Also my physical and mental health are really unstable now. 😔

If he wasn’t owned and I wasn’t going through hell I might consider fostering or adoption (if I became more ready) but that’s not really a possibility. It’s a real pickle.
