I tried taking some, they aren't good. I'll post them anyway. I'm going to try and harness her and attach a long string so perhaps I can find her and the babies. She is so friendly.

Good luck! I can see from the pictures that she definitely has milk!

I can't tell if that's a small pregnant belly or not.

Let me know what happens!

It's okay. Don't panic. Just keep feeding her for now. That's most important.

The kitten is scared, but not feral if mom isn't.

Keep feeding them and she should bring the kittens out to you in time.

Oh my goodness! I hope you find mama and kitty. Sometimes they don't know we have the best of intentions and want to help them. Sending you good vibes, my friend. :vibes::vibes::vibes:

Do you know how many kittens there are? I'm worried you are acting too quickly and going to separate some.

She probably thinks it smells delicious! Our baby LOVES those cat concoctions with the clam sauce and they STINK.. but as long as she likes them.. and finishes rather quickly.. What we do for love, eh?

Are you sure it's only one kitten? I'm concerned there may be more.

If you cannot trap the kitten shortly, you'll need to let mom go to feed him and any others, especially since you kept her overnight. The kitten(s) won't have eaten.

It seems getting mom is no problem, and there may well be more kittens somewhere. So you may have to let her go for a few hours or a day or so.

This is a crackhouse apparently and someone has been here in the last few weeks. There should be more than 1 from the suck marks. I have mom next to a live trap at the moment with a big bowl of stink. If i don't get them soon the people may come back and there's no telling what will happen. Is there a way to put mom in a trap? Perhaps put her in a cage behind the trap with the door facing the front? Time is detrimental because u don't want to be here when the ppl get here for sure.

She has a whole belly full of active mammary glands, so she has a whole litter of kittens out there.

Please let her go free to her kittens for now, until you know where they are and can get them all.

Whatever is going on at the house, mom and kittens have made it this long.

You CANNOT leave her in a trap unable to go to her kittens. She needs to get to her kittens for now. The kittens need their mom now.

You need to look at the big picture here.

Give her a chance to get her kittens together. She's been unable to be with them since last night. You can easily get mom again. This is not right. :(

So how often do I go check on her? How will I get the kittens now?

Check on her around supper time when you go to feed her. If the kittens are really 4 weeks old, she should be bringing them all out soon as they will need to learn to eat food in the next week or two.

Did you see where she went? In bushes? Behind the house? Inside the house?

Check on her and feed her 2-3 times a day for now.

They live in the basement of the house. Moved a tarp thing and one flew out. Guy who lives by there showed me where and said the ppl come back. He is hoping I get her cause they d9nt want her or the babies hanging around their house anymore.
