Wow, good work!!! Hopefully you'll be able to catch the others soon also. :)
Some pics I got of the kittens. The first is off the littel boy Kitten, he has now been neutered, flea-ed and wormed. He is totally wild. But we love the little perfect heart shape of black on his chest, this was how we told the difference at first between the kittens.

This is the little girl, she has black all over her eyes and looks like she's wearing a little black shrug on her back :) We haven't caught her yet.

The two together, this was during feeding time, it was raining so they were a bit timid and were going back and forth all the time.

I will try and get the mother and father pics soon if possible.
Good work so far! You make me proud! :) Good pictures and the one reminds me of our Mr. January!

Gosh, they both have wonderful markings! That little boy's "heart" is grand. And something about the girl's ears makes it look like a white band across them.
Keep up the great job caring for these lovies. Good luck catching the others!
The kittens are adorable!!! I love the heart on the little boy's chest, it tells of all the love he has to give even though he's feral. And what a pretty little girl! Bless you for caring enough to help these two sweeties. Who knows,with you caring for them hopefully in time they will learn to trust humans enough to be wonderful companions.
Well all four cats have now been trapped, the mum, the two kittens and the dad. The kitten that we thought was a girl wasn't! So it's a he, and I like the name bandit, cause of the markings on his eyes. He's more nervous and smaller than the other boy (with the heart shape) which was why we thought it was a girl, nevermind!
Sylvester the father, he had a gash on his arm (which I thought he had) and they managed to clean it out, stitch it and gave him antibiotics. So that should make him feel a whole lot better.
So now all four cats have been de flea-ed, wormed and neutered, I am so happy!
They're a little bit wary of us now but are still feeding. I'm sure they'll get used to us again and realise we're not going to be trapping them again!
Now all that's left is the little girl that comes around that we think may have kittens. So we'll have to see.
My dad has been kind enough to build a house out in the garden for our ferals, carpeted with a shelf, and made from wood and felted all over to keep it waterproof, for the winter that's coming.
Hopefully they'll use it and shelter, warm in the blankets.
I'm dead chuffed :) Cats protection has been fantastic to do this for us for free, and also Fran who is the lady that does trapping for them and helps others. She is an amazing woman.
Thanks to EVERYBODY on pet talk who have inspired me to do this and try and make a difference to these cats lives. You are all my inspiration!
Success! How wonderful! Thanks for the update. And give your Dad a big hug for spending time on the backyard kitty home.
What a great thing you have done for the cats!
Thanks to you and to your dad for the house. I'm sure the cats will all be grateful for a warm place to sleep. They will realize that you're a friend, but it may take some time.
We're proud of you!
That is fantastic news! Very well done! I'm sure the cats will hang around. Where else would they get such good food and accommodation? You must let us know how they get on.
WOW!
I hope they like their new house, and get to adopt you a little more each day.
Wonderful people you have! And your Dad is just too cool! :D
Okay here are a couple of pictures of the ferals and their house.

Wow, they are so pretty and you've done such great work. Do they use the house? That is really neat!
Absolutely WONDERFUL! You and your family are amazing!!!
Oh, that mom is SOOO pretty! And you can sure tell who the babies take after!
But I would like to think they get their pretty heart and ear bands from their Mom's prettiness!
I hope they take to you more now - with being neutered, they may settle down just a bit.
Mom is eating like there is no tomorrow! Wow!
Bless you again for saving these lives, and getting them taken care of.
That reminds me of the Found Cat Hotel where the Strays all come around.
I have to put the food out late as the Welfare Drunks send thier dog over to eat.
What jerks they be.
