Sorry probably more suited to pets perhaps but they are farm cats not pets so...
We moved to a farm just over a year ago. Realised we had a very wild feral cat around. It's very timid and no one has got close but it hangs round the yard and grain store when no one is around (we can see it out of the house Windows)
It was a bit small and skinny and the weather was bad so we started putting a bit of food down which every evening she comes for as long as it's quiet.
Recently she's not been about as much which we put down to harvest with the grain store dryers going etc.
However the last few days she's been back, with two kittens.
Whilst this is cute we are worried that they will start breeding with each other and cause problems or even just that we will become over run with stray cats.
I'm happy to let the three stay and continue feeding them or even maybe have the kittens as proper pets/find homes for them. (We'd take on mum properly but she's terrified and I don't think that's ever going to change)
Problem is how to catch them. Is there a charity/cat rescue that would spay them cheaply or free?
I'm just not sure what to do with them?!
