    How Long Left? Please Help

    Scared Kittens!

    Kittens and big dogs?! And 6 wks old? I agree. Talk to the neighbor.put up the dogs and find the kittens. Outdoors mom will move kittens every so often but at that age usually not far from the food source. Feed on your side of the fence and get yourself a couple humane traps. The kittens may or...
