There's a couple of feeding stations at DHs work that I set up, and have people there looking after, and apparently near one of the buildings, one of the cats has had kittens.
They think they're around 4 weeks old, so I would like to try and catch them. Mum is feral, and there's another juvenile hanging around apparently. I figure if they're that young, we should be able to catch them if we can find them before mum moves them. At that age, I can feed them and socialise them, and when they're old enough, and social enough, put them up for adoption.
Then I can trap the mother and the juvenile and get them fixed and vaccinated, and return them.
Do you think this is the best idea? Is it hard to catch a litter of ferals? Is it too stressful for the mother? Should I wait until they're older and TNR them all, but leave the kittens be to feral as well? I don't really like that idea...
