This gorgeous cat that we dnt own has had kittens next door, they dnt own them either. The kittens are at the "exploring age" and one of them has gone missing under the house. We have no idea where it is, and the mother doesn't either. Will the kitten survive? without its mother, its so sad. There gorgeous kittens and they all might go missing just like the one that is missing

first of all , is there no way on bringing the mum and kitten's in door's ? if hard to catch try and borrow a humane trap from your local rescue. the monther need's to be spayed or she will just keep on having litter's. then come a year you will have a big feral problem who will just kep producing litters upon litters. try phoning a rescue explain that you think a kitten has gotten under your house , they may be able to do something.

In all honesty..without intervention...yes, they could all end up going missing. The survival rate of kittens outdoors is very low. If the kitten does not come out from under the house soon...yes, it will die.

I agree with XxtashaxX...the only way to prevent further potential tragedy is to borrow a humane trap and try to trap the mom and remaining kittens. Surely someone has space to keep a trap overnight and mom can be fixed immediately while the kittens can hopefully be socialized.

all the cats are on a step under the house. It looks like the one thats missing has been found by the mother. The cat patrol said to put them in box and take them to the place.

If you are talking about animal control....I would first check to see if they have a good chance at finding a home or will be euthanized.

Which state are you in??
