hi im new here. im sorry this is so long
I work at a restaurant and there have been stray cats there for quite some time. one of the younger females we noticed was pregnant. my boyfriend went outside and heard kittens. i wasnt sure what to do. she seemed ok with me there but when my bf tryed to go back she ran. she was still giving birth to one but dropped it as she ran. he backed off and she came back. i got the lost one back and placed it with the mother. there were 7 and 3 seemed dead. she was doing nothing to clean or care for them. it was cold and began raining. the kittens were very cold. i wanted to move her some place warmer. i tryed to touch her and she ran. leaving the kittens. i left to see if she would come back. she didnt. they were dying so i decided to take them home. i fed them kitten formula and kept them warm with a heating pad and rubbed them. help arrived and took them away. only 2 dead now. my friend called and said the mother was crying and searching for her babies. the spca is going to try and catch her. what should i have done? i feel horrible.
