The neighbor down the street has had a cat (now known to be a mother) hanging around for a few weeks that is somewhat friendly. She doesn't appear to be totally feral - but still skittish. The other day some kittens were discovered in the yard that look about 6 weeks old or so. They are quite...

Thanks so much for the responses. Sorry it took so long for me to get back. There is certainly a lot to think about here. For any of the kittens that I keep (which will probably be all of them!) I would like them to be indoor-outdoor cats. I have let them out a few times when the mom is away and...

First of all, I raised the height of the barrier to the cat room so that should hold them in a while longer before they are allowed to explore the rest of the house. I called the vet about spaying and I was told...

A little about me - I like cats a lot and have had cats before but currently don't have one - although that may be changing. The mother is a stray calico that I have fed all winter. She became pregnant in Feb. (when she was still too wild to catch and neuter). She had the kittens outside and...
