I had several kittens born in our yard a few months ago (second litter for mother cat). I had taken in her first litter of three and now have them socialize with my indoor cats but she had five kittens in the second litter which I could take care of (which I could but I already have 12 indoor cats now).
I called animal rescue and they came out and trapped the kittens and mother. They put the kittens in foster homes and I had asked if they could return the mother cat to me after she was spayed. They did and she’s been back for two weeks now. I’ve been feeding her everyday (3times a day to keep her hanging around and to put some weight on her) but today I haven’t seen her at all. I call but nothing. The last time I saw her was yesterday afternoon. I’m wondering would a spayed female cat still wonder off for a few days even though she’s spayed? I thought once spayed or neutered they would stay around. I’m hoping nothing has happened to her. I’ve been trying to get her use to me enough that I could bring her in on our porch during the winter. But now she’s disappeared.
thanks
