A stray cat led me to her kittens today (updated)

Kirsten - could you email Cat Care yourself and find out if they operate in that area? Surely if they heard about this situation from you, they would call Karen's parents and offer to help.

It is SO sweet of those people to feed them, but they need medical help too. I know petrol is expensive, but if an organization near you could help them, you might volunteer to give the people and carriers a ride to the house.

HUGS.

Oh Kirsten, you didn't let mommycat down! She brought you along so you could let your friend and her parents know exactly where they are. Mommycat instinctively knew you care so she led you to her babies. You did the very best you could do. Please, be kind to yourself.

Kirsten!!! That Momma cat trusted you and that is why she showed you her babies!! If anyone canget help to them, I know it will be you!!!

Kirsten,

Way to go!!! At least the babies will have a chance. I'm sure eventually they'll be able to trap her. Hopefully BEFORE her next pregnancy.

Well, I havn't heard from Karen or her parents yet, so I don't know what to do. I would gladly contact Cat Care for them, and also come over at the weekend to help, but as the kittens are on their property, I'd need their agreement first.

Wanted to update you on this:

Heard from Karen, and she spoke to her mother a couple of days ago. First of all, her mother wouldn't be comfortable to let the Cat Care people look for the cats in all their old things, she would be embarassed about that. She also told Karen that she hasn't seen the cats for several days, but she was told by a neighbor that they were seen in another neighbor's garden. And this neighbor is known to be more cat-experienced, and to care a lot about cats. So the mommy cat obviously brought her kittens to a place where they are looked after.

Don't know if I'll ever get more news on them, but I hope they'll be doing fine in their new "home".

Oh, and I let that poor kitty down!!

No Kirsten you DID NOT let that poor kitty down. Even though you could not help her personally yourself, you informed others of her plight in hopes that they could and that in itself, WAS helping her.

I'm happy to hear that the mama and her babies are with a cat lover and I'm sure they will get the care they need. That is one smart mama, that's for sure.

Thank you caring Kirsten.
