Thanks to everyone for their replies. I know many believe a wet food diet is best but it's not practical for those of us who work long shifts.  If  gave kittens wet food at 5:30 am when I get up, I would then have to put out wet food at 6:15 am so they would have something to eat while I am at...

I have two 9 week old kittens, both males that have been living in a bedroom since they were just over a week old with their feral mother. She is going back outside but I need to figure out a way to introduce them slowly to my 4 yr old female who hasn't lived with other cats before. She knows...

Everyone here was so helpful when I first brought the kittens of my feral cat indoors that I thought I would ask for help again. They are males, 9 weeks old. I originally started giving them canned kitten food (i tried several varieties in the beginning) trying to get them weaned because I...

I am new here as well with new kittens in my home so I was happy to see your story and photos. Thanks for sharing & I will be following your story :)

Hi! You have been so kind to this little cat despite the expense so kudos to you! I took in a kitten found abandoned at about 2 weeks old from a man who bottle fed her until she was 4-5 weeks & then I took over. She has grown up to be a lovely cat but she had many health problems early on that...

Bingo (mom cat) has used the litter a few times-YAY! I was able to check out the little runt today and I found a flea on him & was able to get it off. I didn't find any on the other kitten and can't really inspect Bingo to see if she has fleas.  I am going to do another inspection of the runt...

Thanks Sarthur2! I don't have any scales that will register such a low weight, I guess I will need find some!  She hasn't been in the litter yet but has had a good amount of food and water today so I think she is feeling more at ease. I have been spending a lot of time in the room talking to her...

Thanks again StefanZ. My cat is vaccinated against rabies and is purely indoors. I will get mom tested for everything when I have her spayed and then have to figure out things from there. I am not sure how high the rate is for Feline Leukemia in the wild, I just know the humane society here will...

Thanks to both of you for the tips & info, I really appreciate it!   I was able to get mom & kittens in a spare bedroom without incident. It was getting really hot out and both mom & kittens were panting so I didn't delay. I was shocked that when I wrapped mom up in a blanket with her face...

Hi everyone, I asked for advice here previously when my 2 ferals found me & unfortunately wasn't able to trap them to get spayed/neutered in time.  Now I have 2 kitten that are 11-12 days old.  I wasn't going to intervene because they were in one of the cat bins I made underneath my deck. This...

House of Nine - I appreciate your reply! I don't want them adopted out as I would glad keep them and keep them in my house if I can socialize them & get them ok medically. I will keep you guys posted about what I learn after I make contact with the Humane Society & as many local groups and vets...

Thanks ShadowsRescue - I am calling around today and tomorrow to see what I can find out!

Thanks Norachan for answering all of my questions. I will be borrowing traps as I can't find them in my area & they are expensive! Looks like I need to check with some other vets and see if anyone has discounts for ferals. If not, i won't have any choice but to wait for the program. I also...

I am sorry to bombard everyone with so many questions but I need advice please. I have 2 ferals who came along in late August & have taken up residence in my backyard. They were both skin & bones & very skittish but I suspect they were still in the kitten stage - 6 months or so when they...
