I have been feeding a feral cat since about June, she comes on to my porch every night to eat. I rarely see her but I know it is her that has been coming to eat. I have a shelter for her to use but she does not. I knew that she had 3 kittens in June, my neighbor thought that they were abandoned and had 2 euthanized at a local shelter. I was feeding her and the kitten, but did not see the kitten all summer. I just saw her during the day about a month ago and have been planning to trap her and have her spayed this month. She has not come to eat since Friday evening. I thought at first that maybe she was just in hiding because the weekend was so cold, but today was warmer and she has not shown up. I am feeling really guilty for not moving more quickly in getting her spayed, but I was not sure if there might be another litter of kittens left alone if I did indeed catch her. There are not many cats in this neighborhood and I have asked everyone about her-no sign. I am hoping she will return soon. I will not delay in trapping her this time.
