I trapped a litter of 5 ferals, about 7 months old. Tried to catch the mom, but she has been missing for weeks. The 5 kittens are in my basement (heated, carpeted). I moved everything that I could so they can't hide. If I can get close to them, they will let me slowly pet them. But they are balls of fear right now. They are getting spayed and neutered next week, the soonest I could find a vet to fit them in.
First, do you think I should put them in a small bathroom? (6x6). Would that hurt or hinder them? Right now, the room is big, so getting close to them isn't easy.
Second, what are the chances they will be tame enough to adopt out? I can't keep them, I have 5 indoor only cats, but I am able to keep and foster them for a while until I can find homes. But if I can't, I'm not sure what I will do.
I have taken in about 5 or 6 feral litters, and TNRed 2 moms. The kittens were always under 3 months, never as old as these current ones. So I am unsure of what to do, and my heart is breaking because I'm afraid they will never tame and I'll have to put them outside. And that just kills me.
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
