Some may recall I posted last week about a little stray/feral cat who we feed. She recently appeared with two kittens.
I was concerned that they would just keep breeding and was advised to try and trap them then neuter. Preferably with the help of a cat charity or similar as I just can't afford to get 3 cats done myself.
The Cats Protection told me to contact my local cats protection which I've tried to do but there is never a reply (left a voice mail) but according to their website the closest one doesn't cover my area anyway.
The local Blue Cross is experiencing high volumes of calls constantly and asks me to call back before cutting me off.
I've tried a more local cat sanctuary although again not sure we are in the correct area. I left messages, they called back and left messages and so on!!
Problem being this morning/over night we caught mummy cat. She's very skinny and scruffy but appears ok. Currently in the back of the lorry as its quiet and secure. No kittens though to be seen. We are not 100% sure where they hide out so have dotted several traps round where they have been seen but it's a fairly large area.
We don't know how old the kittens are but I'm worried stiff about them being alone. They are running round playing age not tiny.
I feel we need to get mum done asap to avoid more litters of hungry homeless cats but worry if we let her go we won't catch her a second time round?
I will of course continue trying to get hold of the cats sanctuary for advice/help (although if need be I will try and find the money to get her sorted as its obviously taken a toll on the poor thing feeding kittens)
What do I do?!!
