I have a second video where he turns and yells for Mom and she came back for him :) Worry not, the family is all together or else if me outside looking for a spicy kitten that needs help
Oh, thank goodness!!! I legitimately said, "Mama, you forgot a baby!" And then, when it started to dart off on its own, I was like, "Nononononono!!!" 😭💖
Maybe the mo didn’t go after the baby because it needs to learn a lesson to stay with the group lol I saw that baby look their direction they left and went the other way haha
It's amazing who they know is safe. The feral cats stay near my house because they know my dog won't bother them (he's deaf and blind, even if he did sniff them out he'd likely adopt them). I've done what I can to help them all.
Have you seen the outdoor cat shelter that comes with an insulated interior for cold weather? Idk if it normally comes with a camera but the cats usually look so cute n warm and content.
Yes! I thinking of adding one. We live in a cul-de-sac by a golf course, so it's quiet and we have a TON of mice. I want to do TNR, she can live out her days in peace in her neighborhood keeping the mice from eating my car
Then rerelease her to her home where she can live not constantly popping out kittens until it wears her body down and kills her? I've watched what happens to the ones we can't TNR
Cats, even strays, live longer and less stressful lives after being spayed. Being in heat puts immense stress on their bodies and minds and leads to shorter lifespans, not to mention overpopulation issues.
If I ever become wealthy, there will be signs. I will have a little town built for cats and I will adopt every long term resident of the shelters that I can to come live out their days in kitty town.
I'm afraid it's been out. I raised 1 litter when mama disappeared (we never found her :() and I have another that we found in our garage alone. They know a sucker and an animal in need will always trump all
I've currently got a neighborhood stray mama on my finished front porch singing the song of her horny ancestors. She's got a surgery appointment in 8 days.
Her kittens were raised to around 12 weeks and homed out to a lovely couple who wanted both and drove a 6 hour round trip to have them 🩷
I wish you the best of luck!! You're doing a wonderful thing
I've had a possum come to the door! I was so stinking excited! The racoons we don't see much, just the mess when they find a trash can that isn't larched
Sounds like my people! When we moved here the colony was huge, 30-50 cats. In the last 11 years we've worked to trap kittens and TNR and move some of them to be barn cats. There's maybe 7 cats left now counting these 3 babies. It's hard to know if you got them all when they are almost all orange, black, and tortie
I'd answer my door a lot more often if this was my visitor!
We are lucky to be tucked away a bit and get a lot of visitors of all types since our dog is deaf and blind. They all learned quick that there's no need to run from him 🤣 But the ferals usually stay away from houses, this is a lovely development for me!
I’m at the end of a dead end street in a rural-ish area. I don’t get too many people back here. I did get a fat raccoon at my porch one night! He was running back and forth screaming and I peeked out of the door and he took off!
Please get those babies off the streets asap so they can become socialised and have a chance at a normal life and at an appropriate time they also need desexing.
Please approach rescues for help with getting the kittens. The mother cat will need to be neutered as soon as possible or she will have more
Yes. I think I might be able to get her now because she is so comfortable coming up to my house. They tend to stay to the sewers and the wooded area near me which is really hard to get them. But these are all truly feral.
We had the same problem. Some just refuse to walk into a trap. Have you tried a drop-trap? It was more expensive, but worth it for all the cats we’ve been able to TNR and multiple kittens that can be trapped at one time. We’ve found paracord works best to yank when hiding far away out of sight. Thank you for your hard work with these cats.
Aw! I'm trying to do the same thing! There's a stray momma 2 doors down and lives under their deck! I've contacted a place but I have to contact the home owners and I can never seem to catch them! Id love to do a TNR! I dont want to see any homeless hungry kitties outside!
That happened to my upstairs neighbor as well recently. There was a friendly stray orange that he finally got around to allowing to stay and got an appointment lined up to get spayed.
Too late, Trojan cat. Need to ask him for pics next time I see him
Yes! I have gotten 6 babies socialized and adopted through the years so I think those babies can still be socialized pretty easily. Mama will just be a TNR
I have one cat and a 2 acre yard/forest. My neighbor has 9 cats and a tiny yard. Cats don't understand or care about property lines. I essentially have 10 cats.
No they don't. I have 4 but they are strictly indoor. It is nice to have a few TNR around the neighborhood because the mice got out of control when the colony got too small. Started chewing on our house and cars
