I had to capture the mom and put her in the basement with her kittens because my garage isn’t a safe place for them to be. I put food, water, a litter box with dirt because I think the cat is feral and some blankets for the babies to lay on. I’ve checked on them a couple times and the mom hasn’t moved or eaten at all that I can see.
The babies are all alive still but it’s been like ten hours. I bought some formula and just tried to feed them a little with an eye dropper and they mostly were not receptive and didn’t release their bowels when I wiped them with a cotton ball dipped in warm water. Maybe this means mom is taking care of them? Maybe I should just back off and hope for the best? I’m so scared I’ve traumatized the mom into not being able to take care of her babies.
