I'm not sure about whether they'd be able to be adopted. The kittens I'm thinking about about 4-5 months old. When I sat next to the trap and lifted up the blanket to have a look at the boy, he literally threw himself towards me at the side of the cage, howling and hissing, spitting like a wild thing. He's very wild, obviously the being in the cage contributes to their stress, but he was pretty scary. The only one I think may be able to be tamed is the father who I call Sylvester as he's black and white and looks like Sylvester from Tweety Pie, he seems to not be so stand offish and timid as the others, which was what made me think perhaps he'd been owned many moons ago.
I'll try and get some pics tomorrow

Continued success in capturing them. Wonderful that you are helping this family. Of the 9 cats I have owed, 5 were foundlings. Keep posting updates!!!

Wonderful news!
Who knows...the babes may settle down. My tabby boy Oscar was wild for 2 years, at the least (so the vet said).
He is a sweetie now - if a bit high-strung. After a UTI, the vet recommended a tranny; I asked about Feliway. He's on Feliway twice a day, and no more frantic grooming! I can hardly wait for his lower tummy fur to grow back!
So there may be a chance for all the kitties yet, you never know.

In All Things Give Thanks
In time, many ferals make the turn around and become loving pets. Even if these don't ever become tame, you are doing a wonderful think by getting them spayed / neutered and vetted! THANK YOU so much!!!
Back up to 3 cats
Great news that you have managed to get two of them!That really is great. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the others are curious about that cage too.
CJ's & Robin's too!
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
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!
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
