ARGH! More feral cats! Will it ever end? PICS ADDED!

They're adorable! ... and it's great that you're trying to find them homes and have mom and dad neutered. However, if at all possible, I would wait to take them until they're at least 8-10 weeks old (here it's recommended to wait until 12 weeks), because they're more prone to get sick later in life if they're taken from mom to soon. They usually stick around in the area they were born.

Best of luck, whatever you decide!

Thank you all.

No, no help. I have to do this by myself. I do have a small pet taxi that I will use.


Also wanted to add, if this was the perfect situation, I would take in momma as well. But I just can't. I have 15 cats and 2 dogs. She is feral, and would be horrible inside.

I always wait until 8 weeks if I have momma cat to foster... But with outside ferals, after about 5-6 weeks it is MUCH harder to break them, and at 8-12 weeks they almost NEVER come completely around to being wonderful inside cats. A couple days can be detrimental.

They do eat canned food outside, but I have not saw them today. I am going to just get them inside one by one.

And momma leaves them for HOURS at a time. She goes off, or is on my porch for 3-4 hours, no kittens in sight. I think she is ready to break ties with them... Which could be great for me, because once they get hungry enough, they will do anything for food!
