    I'm glad that you've been able to trap the mother and 2 of her babies. All 3 are adorable and hopefully they'll all be able to find new loving forever homes. Good luck with trapping the other kittens.

    Great job!!

    One suggestion though. Since Mama is quite feral, you might want to consider separating the kittens from the mama, in an effort to socialize them. They're old enough to be away from Mama.

    Just a thought. They're beautiful!!!

    What wonderful news! I am so happy that mama is less feral and just very scared! Keep working with her and pet her every chance you get! I agree that it would probably be best to separate the kittens from her. If they sense that she is scared, then they will be as well!

    Woo Hoo!!! Job well done and good luck on capturing the remainder kittens. You're my hero!
    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

    Trying to help the feral cats

    Bless you and thank you very much for helping this beautiful kitty family. Mommycat has gorgeous markings and the babies are beyond adorable. I'm wondering if mommycat seemed so mean because she was separated from her babies?

    Yes, bless you for doing all of this for the mama and babies; mama looks scared to death, poor darling.

    Those babies are so cute. Their little faces and eyes say it all, don't they?

    Thank you everybody. I actually trapped two other kittens two days ago. One was all orange and while trying to give him flea treatment he bit Dave (not bad, just a small mark) and jumped out of my arms and ran off. I have seen him around but no luck trapping him. He is staying far away from those shiney things! The other kitten looks just like the black and white one, but is very scared and won't let me pick him up. I have not snapped pictures of him yet, but he is a boy and is very very cute. He is still with his mama cause he is so scared, I thought it might help him relax a little. I seperated the other two and they are doing very well. The little black and white one is more relaxed and friendly than the little orange and white one. That one will need some work. We have named the lil orange and white one Pumpkin and the black and white one Sox. The new orange and white one is not named yet and mama's name is Cali (for calico how original am I). If anybody has suggestions on names for the new guy, please pass them a long once I post pictures. Thanks everybody for your nice comments. I will post again soon.

    Ohhh, Tracy! What a beautiful family! I agree with momcat - I wonder if Cali was just scared because she knew her kittens were apart from her. She reminds me of Catmandu's Precious. They are gorgeous. If I had a gi-mongous house I would take all three of them so they could stay together. Bless you for the work you're doing!
