Sure and thanks so much for taking the time to give such specific feedback and encouragement!

Thanks to each of you!     I have been able to reunite the Mom and baby!  They are now outside the crawl space and it is secured. They are both back to their established pattern of feeding and appear healthy.  Thank you for your ideas and support through that challenging situation! 

Yes I had just trapped the kitten and Mom for spay/neuter, shots, etc.  The Mom was recovering in a pen in the garage when she escaped into the crawl space.  He is about 4 months old so I am hoping that he is less wary of a trap???  I don't know though, as he has been smart enough to run up the...

I am SO excited to have some really good news for those of you who have been concerned.  The Mama kitty just showed up outside for food only minutes after I wrote my last post!!   So she is safe!! It must have been the kitten that our friend saw feeding and she thought it was the Mom.  I...

I had previously scattered fine ground cornmeal but discovered that does not work.  It must be a bit too coarse.  :-(  So I know flour alone is the way to go.  Thanks so much for the input. The latest update is that I bought a trail cam and installed it in the crawl space by the food.  I have...

I need to check today for a trail camera or a Mommy cam.  At least I can know if they are both okay.  Then the next challenge is to figure out what to do. My husband suggested that I just leave the back open and hope they get out.  However how will I know for sure if they made it out.  It would...

Thank you so much for thinking of me and the kitties.  I am so torn up about this.  I really wanted to make such a positive difference in their lives and instead this has generated so much stress for them.  On top of that it may actually be endangering them.  I am trying to stay calm and focused...

I have a really concerning update about the situation with the kitties here at our house. It is complex to explain.  I did open up the pen in the garage to allow the baby to connect with the Mom in the crawl space.  The baby promptly went into the crawl space but then things became very...

Thanks so much for your prayers.  I will let you know what happens.

Still waiting on the Mama and kitten but I am very excited about the other cat that I trapped this morning.  He is Feline HIV negative!  So happy!  So they have neutered him and given him his shots.  I will keep you guys posted about the Mama and baby. 

I wanted to let you guys know that I have followed your advice.  I have opened the door to the pen so the kitten can connect with the Mama.  I have put a gate at the garage side door so I can peek in without the kitty running out as easily.  Of course the door itself is closed.   I will not...

Oh one other bit of info that I can give you is about the other ferals here.  I have trapped five of them.  I was so sad to find out that two of them had Feline AIDS and could not be released back into the community.  However the other two were fine (the Mom and baby.)  I just trapped the fifth...

Thank you so much for your feedback and support.  I really appreciate it!  It is so helpful to have the perspective of others who also care about these kitties. 

I was able to trap two of the feral cats around our home four days ago. This was a mama and a small kitten about four months old. I had them spayed and neutered, vaccinated and tested. The vet said that the mama needed at least two days confined recovery as the incision was especially large...
