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...
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...
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...
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.

I would personally not spay-abort in late term pregnancy. I can...
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...
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...
