Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If Mr. Sassy is not microchipped, I would recommend having this done. You can find all sorts of GPS tracking collars as well for cats. Findster and TabCat are two examples of GPS collars that I have seen. Once you have moved and are in your new place, it will take some time for your cat to get used to the new surroundings. I would recommend keeping him indoors for at least 6-8 weeks before letting him outside. You might even consider walking him on a leash around the property so that he is used to the outside. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
