Hi Georgy, May I ask how you caught the 8-10 week old kittens? Did you build a trap or were you able to just pick them up? I am basically in your same situation. I found a feral cat with three kittens outside. I was able to get the mom cat spayed, defleed, rabies shot and booster, and I...

I had the mom cat spayed this week. I also paid for a rabies and booster shot for her. The vet also gave her something for flees. When I caught the mom cat, I couldn't find the kittens. I left food out for them, but they never ate it. I also released the mom cat last night in the same area she...

good idea about the microchip. I never thought of that. I will ask them to check for it. I have tried to do anything I can to help these cats. Last weekend I went to a petsmart that had cat adoptions. I asked the people there for some advice and I was handed a card for the woman in charge of...

I just want to thank you all for the great replies! You all were a BIG help. I rented a new trap today which was made for cats. Within 10 minutes of putting it out with a can of tuna and some cat food, I caught the mom. WooHoo!!! I am getting her spayed first thing in the morning. I will also...

Thanks for all your help! I do want to get the mom spayed. I talked to a vet about 20 minutes away and they handle farel cats. I tried last night to set the trap, but it didn't go off (although the food was eaten). I know I set it up right, but I will have to try again tonight, maybe a kitten...

I am desperately trying to find a beautiful little kitten with Cerebellar Hypoplasia a home. I found this kitten outside my house with some others and the mom cat. He seemed to be the 'runt' of the group. I picked him up and took him to the vet, he tested negative for lukiema. Since the little...

I posted here a few days ago about trapping a cat with her kittens. I will be getting them all fixed this week (once I catch them). I have a question about the kittens, they seem to be about 7-8 weeks and I am worried they may be too old to become adoptable (they may be too wild). When I first...

yeah, I really don't understand why I need to hang the food. I don't think it's going to work. This trap seems like it's for a much bigger animal and not made for kittens. I may return it tomorrow, but I'll try again. I just think there should have been some sort of dish to hook up included with...

Thank you so much for the link. I took a quick look and it seems to be connected with the Humane Society. I did call them up a few days ago asking about taking the mother cat and kittens. I was asked if they were ferral and when I said yes the lady said 'then we have to put them all down'. I...

About the trap.. we'll, it's a long metal box with a 'hook' on one end and a door on the other. I have to hook up the food and the cat is supposed to go in and trigger it. I tried using a paper plate hanging it onto the hook using string (?). On the plate, I would place some tuna. I would check...

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! I appreciate all your replies... I am in the Pasadena, California area... I will probably end up catching the mother first, I just want to make sure the vet I find will allow me to pay for the cat to be spayed and let her go. I am not really worried about her...

I posted here a few weeks back.... I found a cat that had some kittens outside my house. I guess they live under my home. I learned at the time the kittens were probably too young to leave their mom. There was a runt of the group, which I picked up, took to the vets (tests came back negative)...

I wrote here a few days ago about some kittens I found outside my house. There was a 'runt' of the group who I picked up and took to the vet. He was barely able to walk or move. I kept him for a week and he ate great and went to the bathroom normally. After a few days, he was sitting up, rolling...

I don't think I could catch the mother cat. She is too fast. Also, every time I stick out my head to look at the kittens they quickly go under the house again. I have been taking care of the runt kitten for about 5 days now (inside my house). He is doing much better and eats great. He still...

Ok, I will try petfinder. I've never owned a cat so I wasn't sure how long they should be with their mom. Even so, the mom seems to be a stray (she looks really healthy) and they basically live under my house. I don't want to block it off until I know all the kittens have left. I didn't know...

to find loving homes for some kittens. I found four outside my house. I am taking care of the smaller one (the runt) and I go out and feed the others ( I think they live under my house). I am unable to take them all in because I have a huge dog. I have called just about every foundation and...

thank you for answering about the stumbling. He's pretty tiny and I think he's doing better every day. Should I be worried that the little kitten (maybe three weeks) is bobbing his head around? He's in a new house and it just looks like he's not strong enough yet, but I was just wondering if...

Outside my house, I found some kittens about a week ago. Three of them were walking around and playing. There was a smaller one who was still crawling. I was worried about him because it could be the runt. I took him to the vet and all the tests came back normal. I have been taking care of him...
