So my boyfriend and I drive an hour to his grandma's house every 2-3 days to help her around the house and run errands. Right by her house I've been feeding a family of cats. All besides 1 of them had been through tnr. The older looking 2 of the 4 cats I can touch and now even pick up. The 2 younger will barely let me touch them.
A week ago the younger female showed up after I had not seen her for about a week prior and she now looked very pregnant. So found a rescue where I live to take her after she gets checked out at the vet if I was able to trap her before she had babies. After a week of trying to trap I got her. Drove an hour back home and went to the vet at 8am that morning talked with the receptionist and gave the ok for the rescue to pick the cat up from the vet later. The plan was for them to pick her up and bring her back to my house with supplies(litter, food, meds if needed ect).
So I get I call saying they were able to spay her instead and I can pick her up myself at 4pm. I really thought she looked like she was going to have babies within a week. I was really surprised, concerned and worried.
So I picked her up yesterday and when I did she was in a carrier instead of the trap i dropped her off in. The carrier dosent look the cleanest and she hasnt came out of it yet. I got her to start eating this morning by putting the food in front of the carrier and leaving the room.
The vet gave no advice or aftercare instructions when I picked her up. Just rushed me out and told me to try and return the carrier when I'm done with it.
She seems to be doing OK but she won't leave the carrier at all yet. I have it sitting with the carrier door open in my spare room next to the small area I set up with a litter box, food, water and comfy bed I made her.
Can anyone suggest anything else I should do or anyone have experience a similar situation??
