This may not be the best way, and probably isn't the best way for a pregnant mommy cat, but obviously she likes pets. So if time becomes short, and you still haven't gotten her, you might try getting some big gloves, wearing a heavy coat, and when you're pettiing her - near the garage - just have Eric grab her and hang on to her long enough to get the garage door closed. It might be realy hard 'cause you don't want to hurt her or the babies, and she might be traumitized, but if it's just long enough to get the garage door closed....

Or maybe have a big box on hand that you can close the top of. You pet her and distract her, and have Eric just pick her up and put her in the box - gently. It should be all over be she even knows what's going on. This might actually be a better idea than waiting for the garage door to be closed because I would think she'd be wiggly while he held her and that might hurt her or the babies. Just a quick pick and drop sort of thing could work. But make sure he's completely covered - and you back away as soon as possible so you don't get scratched either.

And if you just remember from the very beginning that these aren't your babies, they are going to someone else's home, that might help you to not get so attached - although for me it wouldn't work very well. I'm like you and would want to keep all of them. But if you give them all up, the next time a pregnant stray comes around, you'll have the capacity to help her without overburdening yourself cat wise.

Do a search on Petfinder.com to find some local rescues in your area. I know there were a few around here that were strictly foster rescue organizations. They handle most of the paperwork and stuff, and all you need to do is bring them to a PetSmart or PetCo on adoption days.

Good luck and I can't wait for pics of the new babies!!! Oh, and Macy is beautiful! And Big Daddy looks like such a cool cat!
