    Will this feral mother regularly bring her kittens to the feeding station?

    Yes I believe s/he is about 12 weeks old. I don't regularly see her on camera, I haven't seen her in around 2 weeks. I saw her a few times with her mother and siblings eating the food, before I had trapped most of the kittens. Do you think that this will cause the tabby mother to wander? I...

    Will this feral mother regularly bring her kittens to the feeding station?

    Hello everyone, I will give an update and also ask for any helpful tips or advice to help catch the last 2 cats. Since my last message I have caught the tomcat, the black mother cat, all of the black cats kittens, and 2 out of 3 of the tabby cats kittens. I caught the tomcat, I've named...

    Will this feral mother regularly bring her kittens to the feeding station?

    Usually I do not return feral cats outside. Sadly, I believe TNR would be quite ineffective and inhumane in my area as people killing feral cats is extremely common - I live in New Zealand, where kill 'methods' are widespread and there is extreme hate for feral cats. Instead I have a very large...

    Will this feral mother regularly bring her kittens to the feeding station?

    I will try this, thankyou. Yes, those are the kittens I mean. They are around 8 weeks old now, and were at the feeding station once at about 4 weeks old and again at 7 weeks. Currently they are just getting dry food with some not very smelly wet food. I could buy and use something stronger...

    Ideally, I could find the kittens nest and trap them all at once like I hoped to. I'm not sure I can find the nest, but I have/will try anyway. I have looked all around our place in all of the likely locations, so all of the old sheds, structures and unburned bonfire piles. I didn't find...

    Will this feral mother regularly bring her kittens to the feeding station?

    I guess that this means that she/they are likely already pregnant. So it's a good possibility I would end up with a late-term pregnant mother cat plus the older kittens if I wait until she starts bringing her kittens to trap them. I would personally not spay-abort in late term pregnancy. I can...

    Will this feral mother regularly bring her kittens to the feeding station?

    Thankyou for this very helpful post! That makes sense that they keep producing milk for longer when they are fed. Also would explain why I am not seeing the kittens. That is a relief- I kept worrying something bad had happened to them. Our vet takes them at 8am and we can pick them up from...

    Will this feral mother regularly bring her kittens to the feeding station?

    Hello, I am currently feeding 2 nursing feral cats.I didn't write down exactly when I started feeding them, but probably late December. I have 2 feeding stations where they have access to food and water, and a motion activated trail camera which I observe them with. I know these cats are...
