We have a similar story with a female tabby. When my GF finally had to transport her from Queens to upstate, she really didn't plan it well.
Rather than take a week or so to 'trick' Macey into trusting the cat carrier, she simply crammed her into the carrier moments before the hours long trip. When they arrived upstate, Macey was pissed. She got out, and disappeared for weeks. She was an indoor/outdoor cat in Queens, so it wasn't a disaster.
That freekin cat stayed away right up until she saw that we had Savannah...who was a kitten then. She just strolled up to the front door and walked in, as if nothing happened. She was probably casing the joint from the woods across the street.

She was beautiful. I rescued her. I was the fourth owner. Nobody could handle her energy. She was a great companion...albeit confused. Borders typically like animals, and Huskies are killers. She was the latter. She was very possessive of 'our' spot on the lake when we fished. She'd constantly chase the seagulls that circled above, trying to steal dead bait off the ice. She wouldn't let them land near my tip ups.
She was smart...but no match for a seagull. They'd land at the farthest tip up from where she was sitting, and when she took off to chase them, they'd fly to the bait that she was guarding, and take the easy prize.

Yeah, I get really itchy, and my asthma starts to kick in unfortunately. If I get a little scratch while playing, it's like getting bitten by a dozen mosquitoes, lol. But I love the little buggers.
The enclosure I built is over 500 sq ft of space, with almost half of that completely indoors. It's been challenging this bitter winter to keep them warm, and their water in liquid form, lol. I'm running power out there this summer, so next winter will be much better.
Here's #3, Mosaic. She's the rescue.

Every life matters
I've always been fascinated by birds. It's quite a commitment, though. Have you 'willed' them to somebody? I can watch bird videos for hours. I'm amazed that they can actually dance to the beat of a variety of different types of music.
I've seen a few shows about how parrots are mistreated, and left for dead by owners who simply weren't prepared for the task at hand. In fact, I'm guessing you could fill your house with unwanted birds, without looking too far.
The show I saw was absolutely heartbreaking.
Does Phoenix have a walnut AND a filbert in the mouth?

AHHH....A tortie! She looks a lot like my Casey. Do you think they'd take off if you just built them a warm enclosure, but let them come and go?
Yes...I get hives the same way from them just barely piercing my skin. The respiratory issues are manageable, but on rare occasions I use Vicks on my chest. Still works after all these years.

My dogs a mixed breed, with the cutest name. Chakita(Chow Chow, Akita mix) It reminds me of the banana company Chiquita.

Since liberals like to derail threads and hi-jack them, for different agendas, I thought I would just post this:
