Hello to everyone.
I am new here so please forgive me if I post incorrectly. I need some advice about some feral kittens.
A feral momma had some kittens on July 22 in my neighbors yard. He has been gone for 5 months and is coming home tomorrow. I let him know about the kittens in an email and he was not happy and said he would take care of it.
I was worried that he would harm them and so I took the kittens and tried to get the mom but she went nuts when I closed her into the dog run ( where I had put the kittens). I let her out fearing she would harm herself the way she banged against the cage.
Well I have her kittens inside now, they are warm, fed and sleeping. She is pacing my yard and has attacked both of my adult cats.
I don't know if I should keep these kittens or return them to her. If I let them go I dont think they will have much of a chance. If I keep them I don't know if momma will be okay. She is so mad and sad. I feed her daily but she has yet to let me touch her. She spits and hisses at me so I just put her food out and say hi to her.
I need to know what I should do for the best interest of them all. I do want to try to trap the mom and get her spayed.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
