Hi!
I'm new here and new to the world of cats. Especially Ferals. I've never even really had a cat before so lots to learn!
So my story is that we moved into our rental out in the country over a year ago and I remember noticing a litter of kittens running around the area. Then About six months ago one black cat was always in our yard and has been ever since. Were not allowed to have pets and we have a lot of irresponsible neighbors so I assumed she was one if there's and let her be. Well about a month ago I saw the cutests tabby kitten sitting next to our shed... And then 3 more came out. Lol so since that day we have been feeding them and I felt bad for not taking care of her before. So after a huge ordeal of trying and failing to socialize the kittens so I could adopt them out, and trying and succeeding!! To spay the mama. We have decided to keep them all and just let them be our feral cats and just hope our landlord doesn't find out. So my new plan is to find out which kittens are boys and which are girls and get them fixed one by one, girls first. So any advice on feral care? How do I go about dealing with fleas and such when I can't really get near them?
Thank you so much for this site. People have not been too kind or helpful about this situation, and I just want them to have the best life possible at this point.
