Hello there,
So glad I found this forum. I've always loved cats and I'm currently living for three years in Honduras. I started feeding a little feral kitten of about 6 months of age back in November. She was a skinny little thing and would come several times daily to my back porch for cat food. About 4.5 weeks ago she had three kittens under my car, and not feeling very safe or secure she moved them to a different location which I was unable to locate until just recently. I finally found them, they are now 4 1/2 weeks old, three of them. She is the best mama kitty and stands watch for them constantly. I don't really want to soon have a whole colony of feral kitties here in our little neighborhood but I want to continue to care for the mama kitty, and hope to trap her at some point and have her spayed. Should I think about bringing the kittens inside for socialization and finding them new homes? Will the mama kitty be traumatized if I take away her kittens? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kristin
