Ok so I know I have been writing about wanting to start fostering for a shelter in my area but I believe it will be waiting a while.
My Grandma and Grandpa have been feeding some feral cats that have been living under their deck. A mom and her 4 babies to be exact. They started feeding her before the babies were born and they are almost as big as she is now (shes a skinny small kitty) My grandparents took them to a low cost spay neuter clinic so they are all fixed now.
My grandparents are going away for the winter in their Rv and I ahve volunteered to keep the cats here. I plan to keep them in a dog cage to start out I hope to be able to get them use to people. The mom does come close to people but she won't let you touch her. The kittens however won't let anyone anywhere near them. I will be catching them in a humane trap that my grandparents own.
I will be taking them to get the combo FIV/FELV tests and will treat them for fleas. I wont be able to comb them though so that will be hard.
Any Advice is much appreciated!!!!
