A feral cat gave birth to a bunch of kittens in a burrow of leaves behind the gate to my backyard. My dog found them this morning and she was barking nonstop until we took a look. The mother is with them, I m sure they were born last night because one of my dogs would have noticed earlier. I would leave them alone, as most sites I read advised, but we have a major snowstorm hitting us on Tuesday and more snow days after that! Not to mention, as of right now it is 21 degrees outside. I want to take the mom and kittens and put them in my basement, but I don t know how to get the mom to come in. I feed about 14 cats everyday down the block, and she is just one of those cats who never got comfortable with me. I barely ever see her. Even now, trying to get a quick peek at the newborns, I approached the nest, and she got very angry (understandable). I m so afraid that the babies are going to die from the snow storm. I can t afford to take care of them myself, as it is every 2 hours, which is why I need the mother to come to the basement, too. But how do I do that?? Or does anyone else with more expertise have better suggestions??
