outside cat, disappearing kittens

two years ago my daughter's found a tiny kitten in a tree... I was stuck with her since that day. she had had litter after litter of kittens. after her first litter I set up a nice little box for her and she has had all her kittens there. I cannot trap her to get her fixed. the past two times she had babies, she has taken fourr away and kept three here under my deck. (in her box) why??, and does anybody have any suggestions on how I can get her to the vet without her killing me or herself in the car on the way there. I cannot handle any more kittens!

A)  Do you know what become of these she took away?    If you hadnt never seen again, my guess is it was some fault on them...  And so she carried them away, not to get any predators to smelling corpes in the nest with the remaining kittens...

If you had seen them later, she apparently decided by some reason to have two different  nests...

B) The problem of managing her during the car ride arises only if you manage to trap her - AND let her be loose in the car.

So the remedy is simple: transport her in the trap.  Dont let her out again from the trap before you are at the vet.  Even if it takes more than 24 hours between trapping and vet visit.

Otherwise, transport her in a carrier....

Apparently, doing your outmost to trap her and spay her, is your priority number one.
