I see from scanning the posts that many have issues with cats not recognizing their own - this scenario is a bit different- after following and feeding a cat at a gas station dumpster for a few weeks I found she had two kittens. I was able to trap one and went back the next morning and trapped mom, but had not seen the other kitten in a week when I got mom - the last time I saw him there was a big commotion with a pack of wild hogs running through the wooded area and I really thought something may have happened to him, but I still went back and looked every day. It seemed less and less possible he was still out there all by himself that long, but a couple nights ago when looping the lot I saw him at a chick fil a dumpster looking for food. It had been three weeks since I’d had his mama and the other kitten - in those weeks mom has stayed vigilant and on guard but the kitten has been on cloud 9 loving being with mom all day plus getting food pets and play. She not totally tame but a lot of progress has been made. I hoped I’d be able to add the tabby boy in and it would be a great reunion- instead he remembers them and desperately wants to go in their “den” but they growl hiss and the kitten charges at him. It is absolutely breaking my heart for him. His eyes look so incredibly sad. He was up all night calling to them over and over as if he thought he could get them to recognize him but they show no signs. I had him on one side of a glass door and the first kitten on another thinking of she got a good look she’d recognize, but she growled and hissed. It kills me when he tries to go to his mom but she won’t let him, then the other kitten gets to run right in the “den” in front of him. What can I do??? There’s got to be something to help him... not only didn’t he have to survive on his own somehow for three weeks but now he’s in a strange place he doesn’t recognize, terrified of me, and his mom and sister are rejecting him. I put some of his pee in their box, put the bed he slept in near mom... I don’t know what else to do. If they were in the wooded area around the gas station mom would probably remember him still, but being a different location and this much time I just don’t know... any suggestions, or any advice on what to do to help him? I can’t make them accept him so all I can do is try to make him as comfortable as possible with the things I can control, but all he wants is them. :-(
