Just an update. I trapped mom cat and the two remaining kittens about two weeks ago. It could not have worked out better. I had three traps but had only set two of them. Tortie kitten walked right in to one so I went and grabbed the trap to put in my garage and when I came out the most shy kitten had gone in the other trap. I brought it into the garage and then set the other trap and set it out for mom. I figured it might take a bit so I was going to go inside and eat breakfast and watch out the kitchen window but before I was even to the back door I heard the trap go and mom had gone in.
The two kittens have been reunited with their sister at the shelter and they are all in a big cage in the "kitten room". I went and saw them on Friday and they are still super cautious but you can tell the difference with the gray and white one that has been there the extra two weeks. She seems braver. I am hoping they will continue to adjust. Mom cat is spayed and still in a feral cage in the feral room. I have told them I will just bring her home. I have decided to make her an indoor cat with my other cats so I need to get my set up ready. The only place that will really work to separate her initially is the downstairs bathroom. I don't care if she is ever all that friendly. She just needs to get along with my other cats and I need to be able to get her to the vet when she needs to go.
One question. I ordered a new cat box to put in the bathroom but then thought maybe it would be better to use one that the other cats have used so she starts getting used to their smell? Any thoughts? I have ordered a covered cat bed and bought a new scratching post and a few toys.
