Hello.

Well, my last fortress had died, due to the many dwarfes and their problems, you know. But it was a very beautiful and big fortress, and I don't want to resign it. I'll reclaim it.

So, I was thinking about how many times can I reclaim a fortress, or how many times would I be able to reclaim it. Can I reclaim a fortress to infinity and beyond?

I think nobody has hit the cap of numbers of reclaims, if one even exists. You shouldn't worry too much but if you want to be sure just make a copy of the world folder and put it somewhere safe before doing the first reclaim.

Eventually, you will end up with such huge amounts of clutter that the fortress will be so laggy that it's not worth reclaiming.

OK, I've reclaimed my fortress, and everything was spread on everywhere, there were many tamed animals dead (dogs, cats, yaks...) and rotten food. I've also noted that many stones have disappeared. Ah, and I've found a water buffalo cow alive inside my fortress.

But I can survive there, I just need to make crafts and a caravan to trade. And I hope not to reclaim my fortress again. Or maybe yes...

don't think anyone found tame animals alive, you sure it didn't come with it

It might be a wild one.

Am I incorrect in my recollection that items in a wagon stay in the wagon when reclaimed, if you abandon as soon as you arrive?  It was a series of hectic reclaimation attempts, so I could be misremembering.

You were correct as recently as .07.  Items in the previous wagons would be there but forbidden.
