There's this stray that has been hanging around at my boyfriend's house for a few weeks now. She is super sweet and friendly and she loves being petted and loved on. We've been feeding her and realized last week that she was probably pregnant. She stopped coming around for a couple days and then we saw her a couple days ago and noticed that she had given birth, but we didn't know where the kittens were.
The same day she started coming around the house again, she found a way to get inside the house. His house is currently in the middle of being remodeled in the back, so there is a couple places where she could have gotten in. Still didn't think too much of it, we just put her back outside. However, this morning we found that she has actually moved one of the kittens inside, behind a bunch of stuff in a closet.
We are at kind of a dilemma here, because not only does my boyfriend not really want to have the cats in the house, but also as I mentioned before the back where she has moved the kitten is in a state of remodel and is not exactly a safe place for mama kitty or babies. And even moving her to another place in the house wouldn't really be an option because the floors are not done throughout and there is no enclosed room to move them into.
Can we move them back outside? Maybe make a space for them on the porch or something? Just not really sure what is the best thing to do in this situation. Obviously mama feels like it's safer inside and I feel like even if we tried to move them she would bring kitten back in. Also wondering if there was always only one kitten, or if something happened to the other(s) to make her want to move this one inside; she hasn't been leaving as though she has to go feed or fetch any other babies. She trusts us and I don't want to scare her away either. Any advice?
