Yesterday.Have you checked the north end of your property for the kittens?
When is the last time you actually saw the kittens?

Yes it's been a bit over 48 hrs.It's been a little over 48 hours since you rescued them from the car motor? That's not enough time to give up hope. Have you thoroughly checked the garage? If that is where they took shelter from a storm or from a predator, they may be hiding out in a nook or cranny in there, if they have access.
One thing is that female cats usually have a fairly small territory, starting with a guaranteed food source. Secondly, those kittens are 6.5-7 weeks old now? At that age they should also be staying fairly close to home base and not wandering too far. If something scared them, they may be hiding away quietly.
Hoping for you all that they'll show back up soon.
The two we rescued from the car were hard to get out from the wheel well.I wonder if you set her food in between the patio and the rock garden then maybe she would feel safer inviting the kittens, as they'd have an easier time "running to safety"?
Sorry...grasping at straws here.
When you pulled the kittens from the car, did they put up a great resistance to being handled, or did they relax? That has nothing to do with finding them again, obviously, but gives an idea about how easy it may be to capture them when they show up again. I'm just curious.
Things that have occurred thru the course of today and other pieces of the puzzle that I have re evaluated from today's events, tells me that I was wrong in my comments that I thought she was still nursing them. I'm 98% sure they did not survive the area Little Yellow took them to on the 21st.Will she let you look at her belly? About 2 weeks after she has stopped nursing, her milk will dry up and her nipples will shrink back to normal size. I would say at that point, kittens or no kittens, you could bring her inside.
I'm so hoping the kittens turn up today.
Because of this storm situation I'm very concerned about Little Yellow's safety.I think you definitely need to give it more time. It seems mom is not going anywhere soon, and hopefully her babies are out there well hidden.
Hi Ileen,I agree there's nothing wrong with asking the neighbors, but I also think it's time to bring Little Yellow inside & also bring her to the vet for spaying and a wellness check.
Hi Ileen,How wonderful! I agree you should act quickly to bring them in. Bless you, Sheila & the kitties.
