Ok, here is my situation. This morning, a neighbor called and said his dog had found five kittens a 'few weeks old' and their dead mother in an old vehicle out on his bac property. He asked me to come 'get them out of there'. When I arrived, the dead cat with the litter was NOT the mother, as it had obviously been dead for months, and the kittens are not weeks old, but maybe a week old (no eyes open yet or anything). There is no sign of the mother, so far, but the kittens were all plump and clean, so she is likely still around. The local animal shelter will not attempt to locate the mother, and kittens that young will be gassed automatically, so it seems to be up to me. The neighbor said I could have a couple of days to see if we can figure out anything on the mother, but he wants them gone. What do I do? How do I go about waiting for/catching a more than likely feral mother (she's pretty far removed from the nearest house, so has probably been surviving by hunting, and isn't just a roaming pet)? Or should I just take the kittens and try to bottle feed them?
