Aha, I would love to but unfortunately we already have 2 adult cats of our own, and we can't afford to look after any more cats and give them the same amount of care as we do with our current ones. I'm pretty sure all the kittens will find a home and mum probably will? I'm hoping to visit the...

HURRAY! One of the rescue's got in touch. They provided a trap and a carrier. Within a day, we managed to trap the mum cat and then removed the kittens from the hole. They are now safe with a foster. Once they're old enough, the rescue will help the kittens (and hopefully the mum) find their...

UPDATE: We found a way to put food down into the hole with the mum cat without scaring her. She seems to appreciate it, I think. She has been leaving the hole less since I guess she doesn't need to wander around looking for food as much. My local SPCA's person is away till next week, and...

Thanks for your advice! I'll have to find a trap, I don't have one. The kittens are still very small, their eyes haven't opened yet. We noticed some dry food left out yesterday was eaten but we have no idea if it was mum who ate it or something else. We keep odd sleeping hours ourselves so...

Thanks for your advice! Is it possible to remove the cover? Yes, it is possible to raise the cover, though some dirt may fall down into the pit. Can you see the kittens through the basement window? Yep. I can see the kittens and mum when she's there How difficult would it be to get the...

I have a bit of a situation and I hope I can get some advice! We have a stray mom cat with very young kittens. She has chosen a somewhat awkward place as her nest. It's a bit hard to explain so I drew a diagram. My basement has a window that is about 2ft below ground level. There was a small...

Well, it's been a while, so I thought I'd just update in case anyone has similar issues: So, we let the two cats just go about their business, and I guess they have worked things out on their own. Somewhat. The younger cat no longer tries to pounce on the older cat like he did before. Instead...

Sorry for the somewhat gross descriptions that follow... I have a long hair, neutered, 2 year old male cat. He uses the litterbox fine. Every now and then, I'll notice him try to scoot on the carpet. When we investigate, there is no stain but there is a foul smell. His butt also smells gross...

Thanks for the reply.  We did introduce them in stages over the course of a week or two. The older cat has a drafting chair she likes to sleep on in my office. I try to shoo the younger cat out of the office when he comes in, but I'm not sure if that helps or makes it worse if he really is...

We have two cats. The older cat is 13+, and we've had her for all that time. She had a companion that passed away a few years ago. Earlier this year we adopted a new cat, a 2 year old male (or maybe a bit younger, no one is sure). The old cat is short haired and small. She is a lap cat and...
