Beautiful tame pregnant stray decided to live in my apartment garden patio. Built her a plywood birthing house with raised floor, double blind entry hall and hinged roof. Lined whole inside with foam carpet padding. She wanted to come inside to give birth but already has issues with my 2 indoor cats (rescues,) thru the glass door.
Had kittins in her house 2 weeks ago, did well with cold weather (raised floor air buffer.) But 3 nights ago a raccoon walked past my gate (ontario ontario california) I read that they kill kittins. My gate has hog wire so raccoon could climb over.
Theres a high speed street 30 yards from my patio. Today is first hot day. I have shade tarps over the box but theres no wind at all. Propped open the top to allow hot air to escape. With a minimum of 6 weeks before giving away I need options. No kill shelter said no. The public shelter is on contract to supply 17000 frozen dead cats per semester, to public high school biology labs here. 99% of cats taken there are dead within 24 hours. (A good idea gone very wrong) the cats my daughter's class cut up were beautiful young healthy house cats. (Not old sickly ferrel cats)
Im on ssi disability (under 1k a month) 6 cats need to get fixed. 2 kits are one sex 3 the other just dont know which is which.
How soon after birth does mom get fixed? Kitten age? Are there free vouchers? I can barely afford to supply her with can cat food.
I have a garage under my house but mom likes walking around outside. No accesso to outside once I put her in. She gets attention from neighbors. In garage will be by herself all the time. She will be unhappy.
What do i do?
