    Happy April's fool day to me!!! Pic #20

    I can't believe this is happening. This morning I heard kittens mewing when I went into the kitchen. I thought maybe that calico cat who looks like Angel (and is very pregnant) had her babies under my back porch. She has been around off and on lately.

    WRONG! She had them ON my porch. In an old cardboard box that is colapsing. She did allow me to peek in. I can't tell how many she has. I saw 3 for sure and I think little backsides of two others. All were breathing.

    so, now what in the world do I do? I can't take care of them. The back porch is not really a safe place for them and that box won't hold out forever. I wonder if she will move them when the weather warms up to some place better. I'm afraid she is on her own. I can feed her but that's it.

    She won't let me near her to move the babies even to a dry box.
    Mercy why me? Am I a cat magnet or something?

    Maybe set another clean and dry box (or a good sized plastic tote) with some old towels or shredded newspaper next to it, and see if she will relocate??? If she does that, perhaps take her and babies to a shelter when they get a little bigger???

    We have no shelters here. I went though looking for one when with Lilacs babies last year.

    Oh, MoFF! I'm glad this mommy-cat chose your porch rather than somewhere exposed to the elements, cars or dogs. Big prayers for this kitty family.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    I'm not sure!!! She won't get very close to me. She will allow me to walk close enough to put food in her bowl but not to touch her.

    I was allowed to peek in at the babies this morning. Now peeking earns me a hissing momma warning me to stay away.

    I did see a little orangie and a cream kitty and a black one, who may or may not have white on him. there may be others too but it was dark in the box and mommy cat won't let me see.

    lvpets don't you have room for a few more? Just kidding!!! You went over and beyond the call of duty taking Chip and Chucks sibbies in.

    I would set up a Cat Carrier so the Momma Cat and Babies get used to it.

    That way they can get used to the Carrier , and maybe you can get the Momma Cats and Young to safety.

    We are praying that you can get these Poor Cats of the Future and their Meeowmie to safety.

    Sadly no. He lives in Nevada and I live in Kansas.

    The momma finally came out to eat this morning and I got a good peek inside the box. There are two little white ones and a little black one and an orangie with white on its face. So cute!!!

    Just a thought here. The back porch may not be too unsafe if you can put something up to block off the stairs. Momma can get over and kittens won't been able to for sometime to come. Seeing they are new borns they won't be wandering for awhile yet but atleast with something blocking the stairs they won't be able to get hurt if they fall when they do start wandering about. I would suggest a newer box with something inside and maybe momma will take it into her head to move the babies on her own.

    No worries! I got myself into this so I'll have to get myself out. It's what I get for giving in to that "Please feed me! It's so cold out here" look. That little orangie with the white on its face is going to be hard to resist though.

    I can at least feed them and maybe when they are old enough be able to find homes for the babies. I look for the mommy to move them off the porch when the weather gets better. My back porch gets awfully hot when the west sun hits it.
