Thank you so much! I've been doing this for 10 years, and I remember how helpful you were in the beginning when I had questions. This site is the best. I hope this thread will help others.

Well, things have taken a turn and Charlie-Belle and her three-week old babies are still at my experienced trapper and rescuer neighbor's house because mama cat's reactions are unpredictable and she is now no longer being considered for a foster/adoption program. She and the babies are...

"I notice him lying on the computer keys at times. He likes to sit on my lap when I'm working on the computer. Hmmmm...," she says with a hint of suspicion in her voice.

Duplicate post I couldn't delete removed this way.

Thank you. I'm so grateful for everyone's support and kind words on here. Separating them with the goal of reuniting at some point, although heartbreaking, and then a quick next-day decision by the rescuer to get the kittens back from the bottle feeder and try that turned out to be a great idea...

Charlie-Belle never went in the trap last night, so this morning we tried something different. After a night at the bottle feeders, the local rescuer brought the kittens back ad we tried again by putting three kittens (the fourth was a wanderer) in the trap itself. We left. Within minutes...

First, thank you, all, for the support. Second, this has taken an upsetting turn. I couldn't find the kittens yesterday and Charlie-Belle was wandering around the storage room. At first, I thought the kittens were dead, but my neighbor, an experienced trapper and rescuer, came over and found...

LOL! Chocolate (and I did not name him) should be known as "Angry Cat" by his constant expression. He's really sweet and was a rescue that had been hit by a car outside my houre.

Chocolate helping with research and taking over the computer.

Thanks for understanding. I'm hoping to get some heavy-duty work gloves t hat tie over the wrist. I don't have work overalls. I was wearing my bathrobe over doubled-up pajamas but today I only wore socks and house shoes. She stuck a claw in the shoe (fortunately they are thick) but I stood...

I am trying not to do that, but getting attacked isn't in my plans either. I'm sort of in a sticky spot here. Rescuer just told me she is unable to help right now due to an illness, so I am currently trying to find help. Checking with my vet this morning about potential bottle feeders or...

Definitely not going well! Her moods are horrendous and I'm a nervous wreck, fearing for my own safety every time I go out there. In the 10 years I have been rescuing and caring for semi-feral/feral/stray cats even pregnant ones, this one is a nightmare. She was pretty good for a while, even...

So, Charlie-Belle, tried to attack me the other day when I got too close trying to put a blanket under the chair next to her so the kittens wouldn't fall onto the concrete floor. Now, I'm wary. Today, however, she was off the chair where the kittens were and in the kennel with the litter box...

I've put pillows and blankets around the chair in case one kitten manages to fall off. I've put food on side of the chair next to the other chair so Charlie-Belle can eat, and she did a little. I put more food for her this morning very early and she got up and moved to the can (It's all I can...

She has had at least two. Maybe a third. I can't tell by the way she is lying and they are still wet. She had them in the next worse location. An old chair without a blanket (now covered with blood so will be thrown out) and with large paintings leaning against it. However, she did let me take...
