Hi I’m new and this is my first post!
I hope anyone can assist me on this matter and I appreciate so much for it.
Several months ago my mom and I have been feeding some feral cats at our apartments at our back patio (we didn’t know anything about feral cats). Later, I made them a shelter home (it’s those plastic bins shelter homes) for them because they would sometimes sleep on the ground at night and I felt I needed to make them safe and warm. Lets skip to now, around March or April of this year, I notice one of the cat (we were feeding the cat but I didn’t see the cat that much during those months) was big in the tummy and I assumed she’s pregnant. I was right. And also I notice one of the feral cats that we have been feeding that looked like it had some infection to the eyes (there were discharge from the eyes) and eventually spread some to the other cats including the pregnant feral cat. She gave birth on April 15. She gave birth to 6 baby kittens but 1 had passed away. The baby kittens has been staying inside of the shelter home ever since.I’ve been feeding the momma and looking out for her and her babies. Her eyes were getting pretty bad were she barely opened her eyes and I couldn’t get close to her to clean her eyes. She would back away from me. But now her eyes are looking better. She has her eyes open and I don’t see that much of the eye discharge but one of her eye at times gets it though. The kittens are going to be 4 weeks old this Thursday and I know I need to do something. I don’t know much about feral cats, especially a feral mom cat and her babies. She doesn’t 100% trust me. And probably some of you guys are going to tell me to bring her inside of my home? But I can’t because I already have 3 cats and two of them are trouble makers. And it’s just too much for me because I’m working a lot as well. I just want the momma and her babies to be safe and someone to care for them.
