Hello everyone. This is my first time posting. For several months, I've been feeding a feral cat (my kids call her Sprinkles). A month or so ago, two 6-7ish month old kittens that seem to belong to her showed up as well. Two weeks ago I managed to TNR the tortie kitten. I think the gray and white may be male based on size and face, but of course I don't know for sure. This cat is much more shy.
I am on vacation from work this week and my plan was to TNR Sprinkles and/or the gray & white kitten...but then Sprinkles showed up with a new kitten that I am guessing to be about 3-4 weeks old . Now I don't want to set the trap to catch the gray and white kitten because if I catch Sprinkles instead and have to release her, I'm afraid I'll never be able to catch her again.
So, I am wondering how do I know when I should try to separate her from the newest kitten to TNR her and take and rehome the kitten? I believe there is only one. Tonight I found them together in the heated cat house on my porch. Sprinkles runs away as soon as anyone opens the front door but the kitten stayed in the house and I was able to gently touch it. What should I do from here? I really want to spay her before she has more kittens!
Thank you!
