Hi!
Recently we discovered a litter of two kittens who look to be about maybe 6-8 weeks, possibly more, of age, living in our shed and they're adorable: an entirely black little one and a tabby. They are very fearful of humans, but will come out to eat food when we move further away. Yesterday mama cat also decided to show up, she's a small tabby and very friendly, clearly been socialised.
We're planning on continuing to feed them, but is there any way we can gain the kittens' trust enough to take all of them in? I've read countless tales of feral mothers and kittens being taken in, but haven't found much when it's the other way around. I'd hope the kittens can be socialised eventually as well, they seem to be weaned since they're eating wet food with no issues, so they're definitely on the older side. Would a humane trap work for kittens if they continue to refuse to trust us?
Thanks!
