Hi, today my dog was going crazy about some old towel dispenser in my backyard. I investigated and encountered an adult cat. It shot out and, naturally, my dog chased after it. I looked inside the old dispenser and there were three kittens. I took the three kittens and put them in a box by my back door because i did not think that the mom would be able to get the cats out. I put a bowl of kitten food in with the box. The mom has found them, but has yet to come up to them. Another cat (who I assume is the father) came close to them, but got ran off because of a flash of lightening. I assume these kittens are three to five weeks old, and I plan on keeping them. Did I do the right thing? Is it too early to take them from their mother? Am I able to give them solid cat food? Do I bring them to the vet to get shots?
Thank you
Thank you
