Okay....got adopted by a beautiful little stray......who was pregnant before we could get her fixed....gave birth in our garage last week to five beautiful babies.
So....for a couple of days....all goes well.....then one day....cat and kittens were gone. She found a way into the attic crawl space through the garage.
Two days later, there's a heat wave....and I catch her in the garage panting. Get her cooled down, but really worried about the babies up there.
Next door neighhbor crawls through attics for a living, so he goes up and can only find three kittens.....so momma and kittens come in the house....they get a nice comfy box....food, get cleaned up....I figured the other two had died.
In the middle of the night, theres baby cries......so I put momma up there toi find them....one on one side of house.....the other on the other side. There is not enough space where they are to have a person go up. I figured she would get the other two and bring them to the three.
I saw her pick up one and nurse it.......tried to leave her alone.....not sure if she found the other one and nursed it or not, but she came down into garage again.
How do I get the other two babies down??? The area that they are in is too small and too far from the access to get in there.....and it's expected to be really hot again tomorrow.
She seems happy with the three down here.....but got nervous when she heard the other two cry....
HELP...I cant stand to think of those babies up there dying.....do you think putting smoke up there like you do with bees would get her to bring them down?? I need ideas!!! Thanks!
