You NEVER want a feral in your house around your other kitties.. Only after they are vets checked and tested should you bring them inside your house and NEVER turn them loose in a room and attempt to catch them, they will shred you to pieces!... Now I am talking about 100% feral cats that you know nothing about..

    Here is a good place to read how...

    That is correct!! That's why I asked if she was feral or tame!
    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

    Yup!

    Keep them in the trap to take them to the vet. Even if the cat has to go without food for a full day, it is safer for both you and the vet.

    I don't even set the trap on Friday or Saturday nights because I know I won't be able to get the cat to a vet over the week end.

    You might talk to your vet before you set the trap to see if they can 'squeeze in' a feral if you do catch it.

    And yes, please be sure there are no young babies that will need her while she is in captivity. It might be better to wait until the kittens (if there are any) are old enough to eat on their own.

    Then scoop them up too!

    Make sure when you do trap them, that you put a cover over the trap. If mama is feral, it'll keep her calm.

    Two false alarms , actually three now.
    One Tabby/White Big Kitten

    And Rufus the Orange Stray who was angry as up to now the Food came without strings or traps.
    As they used to say in the carnival.
