    kittens showed up in my garage

    I did have the natural reaction when you see cute kittens to want to keep one, but it's just not a good choice for me at this time. They were aware of her leg injury right away before they agreed to take and spay/relocate her. Unless something is majorly wrong with her she will be fine. I didn't...

    kittens showed up in my garage

       I don't believe they have fleas as I've watched them for hours and I haven't seen them scratch at all. I managed to catch the mom and I attempted to release her with her kittens but she wanted no part of them or being inside and was darting across the room trying to climb the walls etc and I...

    kittens showed up in my garage

    I moved them into a sort of pen I built so they have way more room them the cage but not quite the whole room so they can't get into anything they aren't supposed to. They started playing now that I moved them over and using the litter box. Two of the kittens fur seems to be laying flatter and...

    kittens showed up in my garage

    I got the last kitten and the trap is set for mom. The kittens I had already trapped started eating this afternoon. I saw one kitten try to nurse but mom just got up and left and didn't let it. Hopefully I'll get the mom by tomorrow afternoon.

    kittens showed up in my garage

    Thanks for all the help everyone. I do have two traps already but they are both big ones for adult cats, I'm waiting to set those up until after I catch the last kitten. I have seen the mom and last kitten today. I'll try to get some good pictures of them to post.

    Around how long after I catch them should they start eating? I caught 1 more this morning, just 1 kitten and the mom left.

    Also when I catch the mom should I put her with the kittens or separate her?

    kittens showed up in my garage

    I caught two of the kittens tonight and brought them inside, it's supposed to be really hot and humid this week and I thought it would be nicer to have them inside. I just put the food in a medium size cat carrier and closed the door when they went in like you said. They don't seem to freaked...

    kittens showed up in my garage

    Her leg looks healed, but it does look a bit swollen. The floor is concrete so I don't think there's any way she could get out. Since the mom cat has been acting so much different I might bring her inside and see if she will warm up to me as well once I get the kittens. Hopefully her leg isn't...

    kittens showed up in my garage

    Here's a bit of an update, I managed to block all the holes in the garage and the mom and kittens are trapped in there. They are all eating and drinking well. I can get 2-3 feet from the kittens if I approach them and can get them right next to me if I'm playing but I can't pet them yet. Now for...

    Yes there has been 4 kittens every day, and I'm pretty sure they are sleeping in the garage.

    kittens showed up in my garage

    Bit of an update, kittens seem to be in the garage 24/7 and the mom doesn't seem to be here as much and isn't eating as much as she was. Kittens are doing good, still can't get super close to them and haven't gotten to pet them yet but they like playing. Surprisingly strong when they grab the...

    I only got 3 of them in the picture. I'll pick up some toys for them and try to find some kitten milk.
