the mother cat is still with the kittens on an old couch in my carport,i dont know if shes feral or domestic,i have doorknocked the area but no luck.the council wont do anything,the animal welfare leauge will just put them down as will the rspca.I have no-one that will take them in and as im in a rental property i cannot have pets.There are no shelters that will keep them,they will all put them down as the mother cat has no collar.the kittens are aprox 1 week old.

  1. Spay your cat so this doesn't happen in the future!  Ah, so annoying when people don't take responsibility for their pets!

    Anyways, post ads in the neighborhood.  Call shelters further away.  You are partly responsible for them coming into this world without a home to take them.  

    I hope you do the right thing this time.


  2. Let them stay out for now. If you can afford it feed them and maybe get them some flea medicine. Try to get the mother and kittens comfortable with you and then maybe you can give them away. See if a rescue group in your area will let you post them on Petfinder or even take them (you can check Petfinder for local groups). Fosters are a good place to look as they take them in and don't put them to sleep. There are a lot of cats around lately unfortunately so if you can afford it I would definately get the mother fixed. Sometimes a local group like the Humane Society will fix the cat for less if it is feral (you feed it but dont' own it).

  3. Well, if you absolutely can't do anything about it, I probably wouldn't worry about them.  They should get along fine, they are animals.  I had hundreds of cats when I was little, because my cat kept getting pregnant, and they all were fine (though we did feed them, they still were outside cats, and they would hunt birds and such).  So if you really can't help them, don't worry about it.  The mother cat is the only one that might be in trouble, if you've fed it; it would be used to you feeding it, instead of hunting it's own food.  I'm not cat expert, so I don't know that for sure, just taking a guess I suppose.  

    Christ is Perfection, pray for them and they're all well my good friend.  :)

  4. The best thing you can do is keep them and feed them in secrecy and put an ad in the paper for free kittens to a good home if the mother is aggressive you may have to drive her off so you can save the kittens

  5. I would put an add in the paper stating your dilemma. Then talk to your landlord and see if he will alow you to keep the kittens for 8 weeks so they can leave their mother. Then find a good home for them. best of luck!!  

  6. keep em

  7. just let her be for now, but make sure she has food and water, hopefully by the time the kittens are a bit older the shelter will take them in, Or check with the local rescue groups in your area, maybe they can help you

  8. Leave them alone and Please feed that momma cat . I have pretty much the same situation and am looking for people who want the kittens . Evidently the cat thought that would be a safe place for her family .  

  9. shelters will NOT put down kittens if they turn out to be healthy. Take them to a animal shelter that is all you can and should do.
