Over the past 2 months, I've been putting food out for the cat family in my backyard. A mama and two babies (there were four-- I took one because when I found her outside she was scared, dirty, hungry, and very skinny. She was alone and I thought she had been abandoned. The other I saw only once when she was with her two other siblings, my baby not included). Mama cat's name is Missy, her calico baby is Moonchild, and her dilute tortoiseshell baby is Flash. Flash is the most friendly one-- I can't touch him, but he'll let me get close to him. Moonchild sees me and runs. I've been wanting to TNR the mama (or socialize and adopt her out if possible) and rescue the babies so I can socialize them and get them adopted. I don't want them growing up feral, I want them in loving homes.
Anyway, this morning when I went out to feed them, Flash was hanging around and meowing at me. He never does this, so I kept asking him what was wrong. Well, he's a cat, so he didn't really give me an answer. Fast forward to later today, and it's POURING rain outside as well as thundering. I actually went out during to look for Flash at least (usually the only one who I see daily) in his usual spot, but I couldn't find him. It was cold out. What I'm afraid of is him (and Moonchild, and even Missy) stuck out there and getting too cold and dying.
It seems to be calm now, so I'm gonna head out again and see if I can find any of them.
In Summary: Concerned about 3 month old feral kittens stuck in thunderstorm, don't want them to get chilled and die. Are they likely to survive this?
