I went out to feed them and see looked fine, but after she was done eating i noticed she is not putting any weight on one of her back legs
she also looks like she is shivering (it's really cold out after being nice for a few days) and won't let me touch her
she could use some ggod vibes i think dh and i will by a trap because it looks like 'm not going to be able to hand trap them
does anyone no where you can get one??

They sell them in Home Depot for about $40. Ask them for the "raccoon trap", that's what they call it. It's a humane trap.

Let me know how it goes!!!!

Good vibes for you and Lily.

You can also contact the vets in your area and the SPCA or Humane Society. Many times they have traps you can rent, but if you are going to be trapping more than the 3 kits out there then it would probably be worth it to just buy one.

I figured we are going to have to use it at least three times, with my luck more then that! So we will just pick on up and have it handy.

I just hope she is okay!! Poor little girl
and ashton is MIA again
Sherbert showed up for a bite and was his normal unfriendly self. I keep holding the new babies and telling them they are going to be freindly inside cats

Sending lots of prayers your way!!

You trap that little girl and get her to a vet, poor baby.

Also sending Ashton come home vibes!!!

They keep you busy and worried, don't they!!!



BTW - have you made appointments for they boys to get neutered? If they're going to be outside kitties, they need to get their vaccinations ASAP, too. There are just too many diseases out there they could catch.....

yep! Ashton's vet appointment is May 8th and fixing is May 9th, one week after lilly. I didn't make one for sherbert yet because he keeps going mia!! Ashton better get his fuzzy butt home and stay put. I'm going to make an appoint for snowwhite and co. for when the babies are six weeks old. Then babies can get there shots, she can get shots and i can have blood work done on her. I figure if she is clear then the babies should be too. I would really like to get snowwhite fixed when the babies are around 8 weeks and keep in her inside until the babies are 10/12 weeks.

My darn hubby didn't get home until around 7:30 last night!! he got stuck at work. So he is supposed to come home early today!! I need to get this show on the road. I need to get snowwhite and babies into the "kitten room" and clean the crate and get lilly in there. I don't want her out there if she can't run good!! She needs to be inside and safe!

still haven't seen lilly!!! And dh is being a butt head about buying the trap. he says that I can just put can food in a crate and she will go in there and i can close the door
. I'm going to have to just drop him off at work and go myself and get it!! He took the damn car tonight, he is really starting to work my last nerve!

we did get snowwhite into her room though! So now the big create is ready for lilly when i catch her!

Good luck, Val. Don't forget, I'm sure you can rent a trap (actually our Vet just lets us keep their trap, and they call us when they need it
- I guess our having the trap drums them up enough business they don't feel a need to charge us to rent it!)

I'm keeping up the Lilly don't be-or-get pregnant thoughts!!! Now I've added Lilly-come-home-and-be-well thoughts, too.

lilly is still mia,
i'm so worried about her since she can't really run right now. this is just turning out to be a bad kitty week!!!

Snowwhite is leaking some kind of yellow clear discharge so she HAS TO go to the vet tomorrow. I'm praying nothing is wrong with her!!

Oh Val, it has been a bad kitty week! I'm so sorry. I replied to the thread to which you provided a link... and I'm still sending up Lilly come home prayers.
