    Limping feral?

    I have one feral named Splotches who I haven't seen in a while. I took a trip and I was gone for a week. My sister continued to feed the colony until I came back. She doesn't keep track of who comes and goes so I don't know how long she was gone for. I came back on the 28th and I haven't seen...

    Switched from Blankets to Straw now they won't use their boxes

    I'm doing that now! I think they'll like it a lot more like this. Thanks!

    Switched from Blankets to Straw now they won't use their boxes

    So I finally got some straw online from a great company. The straw is soft, smells sweet, and should help keep them warm, yet they refuse to sleep in it? :sigh: It's currently been snowing every 2 days and gets really cold out. I tried to lure them in with treats, but one of the kittens went in...

    Winter boxes!! 2 bins lined styrofoam insulation with thermal silver plastic I found at Home Depot. The smallest one is a small fish box I found. I wrapped it in a t shirt because the kitties love to play with it.  I caulked the gaps inside  the boxes and covered any gaps with duct tape. I...

    One of the trash crew scared my kittens! A large (I'm assuming tom cat) started sniffing around the shelters where Splotches and Family stay. He frightened one of my kittens and started attempting to go in one of their homes. A couple of minutes after I scared him off Moe (another trash cat) was...

    This is Bean. One of the kittens. It doesn't translate well in photo, but he's quite small. My guessimation for age is about 10 or so weeks old. He's pretty independent and likes to bite his siblings tails constantly. He's the most confident of the 3.

    Do you have any experience trapping? My mom is worried about that part especially because I've heard about cats that take several months to trap.

    When are the mating seasons? I'm going to try to learn how to trap them and use traps by the end of this month/ beginning of December.  I just have to sort out where to take them and where to get the traps.

    I'm going to go to a TNR workshop with my father in December. I've been looking into the outdoor shelter and I've settled on a plastic bin with insulation boards on the inside. Where could I look for local TNR groups? Google? Call our local humane society? I've been trying, but I only found one...

    This is their current setup. 3 cardboard boxes wrapped in t shirts with fuzzy blankets inside each. Splotches claimed the larger box and pushed out the blankie slightly and the babies sleep in the other boxes if it's not too cold. Since it's been windy-er 2 so the kittens went back to my...

    Update: I found something weird on/in one of the houses? I didn't get any photos because I was weirded out, but I have white towels on top of the cardboard houses and I found a weird brown mark on top of one of them. I was thinking maybe it was cat pee because it was wet, but it didn't smell...
