At my job a feral cat gave birth to kittens behind the dumpster. These kittens are a few weeks old at this point, we believe they are about 5 weeks. Tonight me and a few other people decided to capture them and bring them to a shelter to get adopted. We had traps and bait and headed over to the dumpster in the evening. Except the kittens weren't there. They are on and off it seems, sometimes their behind the dumpster and sometimes they arent. I want to get them captured asap, and tonight we managed to trap the mother. Who seems to be about 4 months old. I'm worried the kittens won't show up at all if the mom is gone. They weren't here tonight, so I don't have high hopes for tomorrow. Please any advice would be appreciated. Is it common for 5 week old kittens to live on their own? Will they come back? How can I get them to stay long enough to trap them? Thanks!
