So last week I found a rescue to take the stray cats 5 kittens. They were only 5 weeks old, but I pllayed with them everyday, and they started eating food. I know they should have been wth the mother longer, but I really had no choice. The rescue would not take the mother without putting her in a trap and then checking her out, and my two indoor cats were very sick, so everything was just too much. Anyway the mama cat stayed around and slept on my porch in a box i made her for about another week, but two days ago was the last day i saw her. She has not come back, and I am worried something might have happened to her. We have a few other stray cats in the neighborhood, as well as racoons. She gets fed twice a day as well ,so I do not know why she has not returned. If she never returns, not to sound cruel, but I kinda will be relieved, and just hope for the best for her. She was always a stray I think and just came around when she was pregnant, and now wants to do her own thing. I just dont want her to come back in a few weeks being pregnant again. The real plan was to get her in a trap and bring her to a no kill shelter to get her spayed at the minimum if they thought she was not adoptable.
