I recently trapped two feral kittens and also took in their stray mother.
I believe the mom was dumped on my street when she was pregnant.
I have had the kittens for about a week and a half and am trying to tame them so I can find them new homes.
I have 12 cats of my own so cannot keep them. They have had their first set of vaccines and deworming and are scheduled for their neuter October 5th. They're about 3 months old. The mom is being spayed also. The mom is sweet, so I don't think finding her a home will be too hard.
The problem is, I am having trouble taming the kittens. I took in a feral kitten about the same age 7 years ago and she took to me almost instantly, but will to this day run and hide if I try to approach her. She comes to me fine on her own terms.
One of the new kittens will play with me and purr when I hold him, but the other runs, hides and hisses whenever I come near.
I so want these babies to be able to have a home and not have to remain feral. Any tips on taming them would be much appreciated.
