My friend & I have been trying to catch a feral litter of 3 kittens, mom & dad for a few weeks now. We finally got everyone except the dad. We are still trying to get him.
The kittens are about 8-11 weeks, very big & healthy! They have ear mites but no fleas or any other symptoms. All are boys. 2 are orange tigers & one is a grey tiger.
My friend is keeping one of the orangies & I am keeping the grey tiger who is now named Tiki. They came around pretty fast, just a few days is all it took for them to gain our trust. The other orangie is at my friends house, he's taking a bit longer to come out of his shell. She's not sure if she will keep him or find a home for him.
The mom has a very nice home, an older lady a few houses down from my friend is keeping her. She's already been to vet for a check up & spay & she is 100% healthy. She is really soaking up the human attention. I couldn't believe how fast her turn around was. She was so feral & protective that she attacked our other friend, Chris who assisted in catching the kitties.
The male is very feral. He has ear mites so bad his ears are all tore up from scratching and he's missing the tips to his ears probably from frosstbite. He also has an URI but he seems to be fighting it as it is starting to get better. He is an orangie tiger too. He is starting to get closer & closer to us & the trap. Hopefully we can get him soon so he can get neutered & tested. He will probably be a T&R cat as he is just plain wild.
Sorry it took so long to post this but I have been so busy & my computer is not working that great. I'll post pics hopefully next week sometime. My computer is all goofed up & I'm trying to get it fixed.
