It was the weirdest thing tonight. We had noticed her weeks ago and she would hide out in the field in some tall greenery. Then we didn't see her for weeks (probably delivering) and thought maybe she was a neighborhood cat that just came over for visits. Then she showed up again and lo and behold with 2 babies. Whenever she would see our car lights she would run under the ticket booth (first photo with Gable) and not come out till we left.
Tonight she came right up to me and let me touch her. It was UNBELIEVEABLE. I had caught both babies with my hands and put them in the carrier. Put the trap up to it and set it. Mom walked in there but not far enough to trip it, so I walked over and pushed the trap door down!
We've been in the bathroom with all 3 and she is the most loving cat. She's letting us handle the babies and lays next to us. Why do people do this to the innocent cats? 
I'll update all after the vets visit tomorrow.
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
