Hi Everyone,
Glad to have found this site! I've read through some of the messages, but did not quite find the answers to my situation. I would really appreciate your all knowledge in helping me out!
Over the weekend I trapped a feral mamacat and her 3 feral kittens. The kittens are 6 weeks old (they were born in my back yard and then were moved somewhere else before I could trap them). I want to get the mama cat spayed and then released and would like to socialize the kittens and get them adopted out.
How soon should I spay the mama cat? What should I do to socialize the kittens? The kittens hiss at me constantly. The mama cat is a bit more at ease as long as I stay away from the cage where they are.
The kittens are not completely weaned. I only saw two who tried eating some of the canned kitten food and saw only one using the litter box so far.
Appreciate everyone's advice!!!
