Aww.. That's a cute family.. Are you able to help em out?
We have just started providing her food and water, there is nothing to be concerned about!
thanks i really needed to see this today
Glad you were blessed with kittens then! Have a nice day!
Good people!
You're one of the good ones. I hope you either keep them or are able to find a safe heaven for them 🥰
My cat jumped out of the window yesterday so now I've got to try and find him and trap him so that I can get him in again 😭
We'll try finding them a shelter or a home we trust, sadly this is on my countryside house and back home I already have a cat. I wish you luck in finding your cat tho!
Ah I see! Great to hear you're looking for alternatives. 🥰
Thanks. This is my cat Raymond's second escape since I got him and I'm very sure he will come back at some point. The question is just how long it's going to take him to get his nose pointing home..
I had a similar experience with my cat, but it was really snowy that day. She came back 4 days later in a state of shock, she didn't recognize me or my house, I forced her in and after a few days she was fine. Still, whenever she sees snow she freaks out. Hope Raymond comes back soon!
Please provide clean water and food!
Please reach out to a local shelter to get them taken care of, and given homes. They'll have much better lives, and won't destroy the local ecosystem. Thank you for feeding the mama!
That's what I'm thinking of doing since there are a lot of dangerous dogs around here that attack almost every living being.
I don't know if there's a TNR (trap, neuter, release) and/or foster organization in your area, but if so they can help get Mama spayed and the kittens fostered and fixed once they're weaned. If she's too scared of people to become a pet, she could go back to catching mice in your woodpile (and hopefully getting some food from you as well) without the stress of raising more kittens every year. Or she could get a job on a farm.
In West Los Angeles there's Kitty Bungalow And Charm School For Wayward Cats, their Instagram is adorable.
