Hey guys,

There's an adorabe feral female kitten (about 6 months old) i'm feeding once/twice a day. she's not desexed yet.. I cant bring her home cuz my parents seriously dont like cats.

Anyway, in the last few days i've seen 5 big male cats chasing her non-stop, they have mated with her several times already but they still chase her non-stop looking for more and more..

She's trying to escape from them(it seems so) but they are faster and bigger and they catch her all the time..

One time I've been there, when she saw me she came to me seeking protection(i guess). those 5 big ones were surrounding me having their eyes on her, then she suddenly layed on her back and one of them jumped on her. I have scared him off and he backed away,  I scared the other 4 too, trying to get them away off her, then when they were alittle away she started running trying to escape them(i guess) and they chased her somewhere far i couldn't see..

Then I started thinking that maybe I'm doing bad because I dont let the normal nature cycle of cats happening.. and maybe i should let them be to their nature.

But for 24/7  i see them chasing her, and they've mated with her few times.. is it normal that they still keep chasing her and not letting her any time of rest?

And would she happy with that, or is it really too much for her and she just wants them to give her some rest? (cant read her mind, maybe she somehow still likes it, dunno)

What do you think?

About desexing.. I could desex her, but I believe they would still be chasing her..(she's real beautiful, even i'm inlove with her, lol)

and desexing them all is not possible not money-wise(im out of cash), and not effort-wise(i cant really catch them all)

If you can afford to have her spayed, by all means do so. Once she no longer goes into 'heat' she will no longer interest the males. I agree with you, I think it is very traumatizing for these young ones to have to go through this. With her being feral, I'm sure you know you'll most likely have to trap her, you may be able to get a trap from your local humane society, or call a them and see if there is a trap,neuter, and release program in your area. Good luck and I truly hope you are able to save her from a life of torture and endless babies. You will be blessed for your kindness. Good luck!

Yes, there are lots of help programmes, and or cheap spaying clinics.  It depends of course a little on which area you are living in.   Exactly were do you live, which town / area?

But it doesnt need to cost YOU any big money, if you do search a little.

She is young, and knows you as a friendly person.  She is a given candidate for fostering, if you after all can do it (talk down your parents, perhaps promise them something in return - good schoolgrades  contra adoption?).   Or you can perhaps find someone else willing.  

As said, there may be rescuer groups in your area, doing exactly this work??

Anyways, she is  ferale, and will probably manage on her own too.  But she needs spaying, as you yourself do see.  Preferably very soon, before the fetuses begin to grow.

As now, the surgery is nothing as yet, there is nothing noticeable two weeks more.

And yes, when spayed she will not be much interesting for toms.

Now she is high prey as long she is in heat.

Tx for caring!

Good luck!
