Hi all
I have a feral cat in the garden, here in Belgrade, Serbia, who has three kittens. When I say feral she is quite tame and calm really, although she is slightly nervous of humans (she has got used to me since I feed her all the time!).
Her kittens are 12 to 14 weeks old, and it looks like we've found homes for them (although we might need to put them in a cat hotel for a week). I'd love to leave them with her, but their best chance of survival is in a caring and loving home environment.
I envisage that when I catch them, maybe it will be traumatic for the mothers and for them to be separated. And the hotel will offer a limited environment until they go to their homes.
Is there any way of limiting/reducing the trauma of separation? Or am I imagining the trauma (as I myself and finding it traumatic thinking about it!)
Thanks as always
James
