Did you bring Kimmy indoors?

Furballsmom, that is so touching. Thank you so much. She was a sweetheart but never wanted to come inside. She was trapped as a kitten with another kitten in trap with her. His eye was hanging out and half his tail was gone, probably attacked by a coyote. Brought him to vet for an enucleation...

Thanks so much for the replies. I posted on Tuesday and she did not show for breakfast on Wednesday, first time ever. I was fairly certain she died and she has not been around since. We have coyotes and a resurgence of fishers (Fisher (animal) - Wikipedia) here in the Lake Region of the Poconos...

I have around 8 ferals living around my home. One has been here about 10 years and maybe once or twice a year I can touch her while she is eating. She has gotten very thin although had to tell as she is long haired but when I pet her her back is one huge mat but under that is skin and bone. I'd...

Thank you so much for the update. Seems to me kitty does not want to live there and has adopted you. Does it seem interested in coming inside your home, esp with the bad weather? My sister had a cat that routinely disappeared for days at a time and discovered it had adopted another family that...

allidara, thank you. I have been tnr ing for many years but not too much experience with kittens. Have recently befriended someone who called me last year to trap a mama and 4 kittens on her property and she found a new calling socializing and homing the kittens. We just became involved with a...

Hi, the grey kitty is about 3 months, the orange ones still nurse occasionally but eat cat food, maybe 2 months. I don't know how to estimate a kitten's age. Mama hisses at me when I reach in to pet her kittens but is not as aggressive as other adult ferals I've trapped. She seems only about 7...

I'd love to know what happened! Could you update? Thanks.

Living in the Pocono mts I have all the above mentioned coming to my deck to eat. I put the raccoons food on one side of my door, often using dog food that our dog doesn't like, and the cats food on the other side. I have 12 resident ferals around my home and 2 others that show up only after...

About 3 weeks ago I trapped a kitten and had it spayed. Trying to socialize, very quiet, doesn't play but I can pick her up and she will purr. 4 days ago I trapped a mama and her 3 orange kittens in a different part of my community, they are in a 3 level cage while the lone grey kitten is next...

Thanks, I have been trapping about 14 years but rarely kittens and only have 1 kitten trap but a friend loaned me 2 of hers. I want to buy 2 and really wanted to know the best trap and I like the truecatch I have but didn't think the kittens weighed enough to set it off.

Thanks so much for your imput. I had forgotten about the string and bottle scenario as my concern was if they were too light to trip the door, this way the trapper is in control. I'm heading out now to see the size of the kittens.

I have the Trucatch adult traps, gravity closure. Their kitten traps do not have a back door, is that a big flaw? Thank you.

So I spent 5 hours sitting in the parking lot, saw mama run back into rocks. 2 hours later she came out but did not go close to traps. She walked across road and grassy median to maintenance parking lot and under fence at far end and did not come back, I live in a mountain community with minimal...

Until I trap mama I won't know how feral she is. They all rush back into the rock wall when they hear the car. I release the adults where I trapped them so mama will go back there and I and a friend will feed her. Thank you or your response. Did not see them yesterday, am heading up there now.

Thank you both for your responses. I have been trapping for a number of years but rarely kittens and that's been quite a few years ago. So I should trap them all now. OK. I have a 3 level cage for the kittens and after mama's surgery should I keep her to feed the kittens or release her? As soon...

Mama feral living within mountain rock wall that was blasted for parking lot. She has 6 kittens that still nurse but also eat cat food. How old would that make them, 2-3 monhs? Have not had much experience with such young kittens. Do I start trapping and in what order? Kittens too young for...

Thank you. I have both FIV and FELV positive cats here so will not bring any more cats into home. The cage is in a bathroom that the rest are not allowed in while I am caring for the kitten and hopefully siblings.

I have been doing TNR for a number of years but have not had kittens for awhile. Been trying to trap mama for 3-4 years and have a drop trap set up as she will not go into a regular trap. She eats on my deck a few times a day and has started to bring her kittens. In the past years I have seen...

di and bob, I have had cats since 1967 when I first got married and cannot imagine a life without cats. 12 is too many but I do TNR in my mountain community and for one reason or another I could not release some or they were placed in my care when people moved, Thank you again for your kind...
