Yes, talkingpeanut, I agree. Unfortunately the large dog crate I have would be too big to even get into my room, if I used that to transport her. I tried getting her in a carrier (just to nest in for now). I have a medium sized dog carrier that I used, I placed next to the hay bale near...

Thank you so much ileen! Tonight I plan on leaving them where they are. I'm going to put my chickens in the milk house away from the barn so they don't try and peck the babies. I do have 2 other barn cats, a male and female (both fixed), they ignore Sally, so hopefully they will leave the...

I need of emergency advise! Sally had her kittens this morning, from 8am to 2pm. She had 6, the first one unfortunate didn't make it, it was very small and deformed looking. I'm trying to figure out where to keep them now. I have a large dog crate set up in the barn and I can try and move...

I just back from the barn and Sally is panting almost constantly and she is acting mildly uncomfortable. She will sit down and then immediately get back up and sit somewhere else. She is also kind of walking like she has to use the bathroom. She is no longer eating any of her food. I noticed...

Thank you for the reply! Yes, I really hope she has them before the weekend. I recently went out to the barn to check on Sally and she started panting when I was petting her. She also didn't really want me to pet her, she just wanted to lick my hand (I had nothing on them, I washed my hands...

Since my last update, I've had both live traps set all weekend, covered and with yummy smelly tuna inside (Sally loves tuna), but no luck. I am assuming she is 62 days along today, I felt the first kitten movement Aug 22nd. I'm going out to the barn every hour to check on her when I am home...

Day 3, no luck still. I put one trap in her hay 'cave', it looks just the same as before (I put hay all around and inside the trap) but she somehow can tell a cage is in there because she won't go near the hay bales! I'm feeling really discouraged and I'm just accepting that I will not be...

Yeah I wish I could do that :( She is a very sweet girl, but she just gets scared really easily.

I've never picked her up or had her in my lap before. I tried sitting on the ground with my legs out so she could sit in my lap, but she doesn't come near me because I look bigger to her apparently. I crouch on the ground with my knees against my chest and then she come up and lets me pet her...

I had to put the traps away overnight because I don't want my 2 other barn cats going in them. Last night when I went out Sally seemed friendly again and let me give her tummy rubs! This morning Sally walked up to me and let me pet her more, it seems like she has already forgiven me. I set the...

It has been around 7 hours since I set the 2 live traps in my barn. I put one against the wall I know Sally likes to sit by, and the other against a fence where her food/water are. I put a little bit of canned food + tuna in both and she hasn't gone in either one yet. :( I don't have either of...

I tried to gently push her in when she walked towards the opening, I got her all the way in, but when I was closing the door she slipped out and ran away. Now she will barely let me pet her, I feel terrible. I have 2 live traps and I set them both up with her favorite canned food. I really hope...

The pen arrived yesterday and I have it all set up for Sally. Now I just have to get her into the cat carrier to bring her into my house... I set the carrier on the barn floor, next to her food/water dishes, its been there for a few weeks now and she will still not go in it. I've been putting...

Okay, I ordered the pen and it should be here on Tuesday, I'll move her in then. Yes, I hope she gets enough time to get comfortable, I plan on making a little 'cave' nest that is fully enclosed so she can feel safe hiding in there if need be. And that's good to hear that cats can somewhat wait...

I tried taking some pics of Sally this morning, but she was scared of my phone and kept running away from it. :( Sorry that they are so blurry- When she's standing up, her tummy really sticks out on both sides, I couldn't get any pics of that angle though. - So I found this 62"x 62"x 36"...

StefanZ, yes, I really want to bring her into my house, but I don't know how she will react. I have 2 cats and a dog, who get into everything, they spend most of their time in my room with me. My dog wants to be with me 24/7 so there's no way for me to keep him out of my room, he will bark and...

I started taming a very feral cat, who I’ve named Sally. I discovered that she was pregnant and managed to get her into my barn so she can’t run away during this important time. The barn is a really good place for her right now, I have 2 other barn cats (both fixed!), and they get along just...
