a feral cat gave birth to a litter of kittens recently in my garden,they have grown up a little now they can walk,three of them walk around my home everyday although their mother is still taking care of them,we don’t know what to do,we’ve only gained trust of one of her kittens the other ones are missing she only has three kittens now two of them don’t trust us,the one kitten that trusts us is a male,also because we fed him in the past days,we can’t even with food,gain the other two kittens and the mother’s trust because she is a feral,i think the black male cat probably killed her other kittens,we only pet the kitten when she isn’t around,sometimes she starts calling him,then he runs to her,we don’t have a shelter nearby nor a vet,we can’t even take them in for hundreds of reasons,should i just leave them like this?
Hmm. If many folks around there have a Facebook or other social media, could you try advertising the cats as free barn cats? They’d at least have mice to chew on that way, and would probably have a pretty decent life. If nothing else, leave them as they are and maybe offer food to them every now and then if you can, and if they need it.
Nononono. Please try to take them to a shelter, anything nearby or at the very least get her and the kittens when old enough neutered and spayed. What are the hundreds of reasons, and what country are you in? Are you able to take any of them in as your own to separate them from the black male cat? Leaving them be until adulthood doesn’t help the problem
(And also what she said ^)
