In the course of the last year, I TNRed two feral calicos. I have a long history of doing TNR successfully, so that is not a problem. The second calico was harder to trap, but on May 21 of this year I did get her into a trap and to my vet. Both were crazy wild and never got close enough to me to allow a good look, but once she was trapped, I did observe that she seemed of normal weight and size. I always allow an extra day at my vet's for recovery, so she came home on Day 3. Problem solved, returned to her usual eating schedule in my back yard. However, on last Saturday morning she appeared with 4 kittens by her side, a black and white one who is the exact image of a male in the area, and three little calicos. When they saw me through the window they all freaked out, jumped and ran. While my vet made no anecdotal notes about this cat apparently having recently given birth, I must have trapped her shortly after the births. How the kittens survived, I have no idea, but they look fine and are eating and drinking from the 20 feet distance that I am able to view them. Given the time frame, I think that they are about 8 weeks old and they seem very feral. They live under a huge bush in my neighbor's yard, seemingly, and come through an opening in the fence to eat on my property. My neighbors are nice people, but not animal people, and I prefer to leave them out of this right now. The kittens appear in the early morning for food, but I do not see them for the rest of the day. It is entirely silent all day on my neighbor's side of the fence, but if I approach, the mother jumps, hisses, and darts at me, banging her body on the fence. I am considering contacting the Alley Cat Allies local support people and also the TNR Project, but don't hold out hope that they will be able to drop everything at this kitten season to help me personally. Thirteen years ago I trapped an entire feral litter and mother and got them all fixed. Only one kitten became socialized and I kept him as a pet for the last 12 years, unfortunately he passed away last December. Three were crazy wild and clawed out of a dog proof screen after I brought they home from being fixed, and one remained in the house. She is the only survivor of the litter and has remained an indoor feral, despite being trapped at about 8 weeks. She still panics if we cross paths and runs like she has seen the devil if my husband or I cross her path. She is very close to an older cat I have, who I think she mistook for her mother once the whole trapping and spaying and living in the bathroom for a while was finally over. So, what should I do about these four kittens? I am hesitant to bring them in because they seem very wild. This is partly because I had recent breast cancer surgery and was instructed not to get all scratched up or cut, even from non-cat sources.
