3 More Kits NOW WITH THEIR MAMA...MORE PICS POST #26 AND 27

[Reachoutrescue]

Just a quick update.....the lady trapped the mama and we have her here with her babies. She is nursing them and taking good care of them, but she is very feral. She hisses everytime I clean out her cage and give her food. She is a biter too. Dave was wearing welding gloves to get her out of the trap and she bit right through them, did not break the skin though. I am hoping she calms down enough to get her spayed and possibly a home. If not, we will spay and release her back by the lady's house. I have pictures and will download and post them tomorrow. Just wanted to update you guys.

I am so GLAD the mama was found. I really hope she begins to realize that she is safe and you two are not monsters...she sounds pretty wild though.

It will be interesting, though, when you start socializing the kittens and playing with them with a string or something - I wonder if she will follow that with interest?

PT Prayers that Mama cat calms down and knows how nice it is to be loved.

(PS...would a small rag with a shot of Feliway on it near her in the cage harm her while lactating? Maybe check with the vet)

Thanks for helping this wee fur family!

Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear that the mother cat was caught and that now she's nursing her babies. Hopefully she'll calm down and realize that you're only trying to help her and her babies. I look forward to seeing the pictures.

Those three babies are truly beautiful and good on you for looking after them for mum while she was gone. I am really pleased to hear that she is back with her brood and hopefully it won't take too long for her to settle down and get used to you and the welding-glove-wearing super husband of yours.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity, and all the best with the little ones. (Can't wait to see how they're growing!)

Good to hear that Mama was found but I'm sorry that she isn't responding (yet) to your kindness. As you know, sometimes it's just that way and we have to spay them and turn them back out. If that should happen, at least she won't get pregnant again and you can breathe a sigh of relief there. But who knows, she may come around. Stranger things have happened. I have a couple of ex-ferals and you'd never know it now.

I'm so glad the mom was found and she can be with her babies.

It's tough when they are feral like that but hopefully she will calm down.

Bless you for helping this family.

Great job!!! Glad the whole family is together. As far as mama being feral, once they are old enough to be weaned, you'll have to seperate them from mama so you can socialize them all. But you KNEW that!!!!!

You are a true kitty angel, Reachoutrescue!!!
