Need some advice please! There's a feral mother and her kittens hanging out at my old workplace, and we want to catch them.
A lady who works there was someone who was helping me with the TNR and she's putting food out for them every night for the moment. We can't trap until Monday night as Tuesday morning is the earliest we can get mum into the spay and neuter clinic.
Does anyone have any tips for catching them all? We're going to go out with multiple traps and a feral recovery cage for them. I'm not sure how old the kittens are. If the kittens are still tiny, is it better to wait until they're bigger and can survive without food while mum is undergoing surgery in case she gets stressed? Will she abandon them if we intervene? Should I plan to bottle feed/hand feed the babies?
Thanks!
