I think most of the ideas I was going to post have been covered. I always cage feral kittens, as chasing them around only makes you scarier to them, and it's harder to handle them. And I usually don't do much handling until the next day or so after they've settled in some. Leslie and I trapped 4 ferals last night which have astounded me at how placid they are...and they aren't tiny by any means. The largest is close to five months, though hard to tell through all the long black fur, but that one's already doing the elevator butt! I'll be passing them down the line within the week to another foster person, as I don't have time for much hands on lately. Best foster home I have available keeps kittens in a large cage in the kitchen, where they're exposed to a lot of activity, and Maryanne(and her family) has worked wonders with some of the nastiest little ferals! A large T-Shirt pulled up like a nest works wonders I hear. Bundle one in, and go about doing things while holding each kitten for a while. Any idea how old the kittens are?![]()
