What should i do about stray cats settling on my property and having kittens?

Question

I live in NJ and a few female ferel cats have settled on my property and have had 2 litters of 3 kittens. I have found 2 of them homes but there are more outside that i cannot capture. Is there an organization that will "catch and release" the mother females (since they would be too wild to find homes for) and take in for adoption the remaining kittens?

Answer 1

What county do you live in? Monmouth County has a wonderful SPCA. New Jersey has the some of the best animal welfare laws in the country,so I'm sure if you call around,you can find someone to help you.

Middlesex County Animal Control does not handle cats.  We have traps that we loan so citizens can catch these cats, we often have a waiting list for traps, so if you can't wait, you can buy traps a local stores.  Once you catch the cats you need to take them to the Gloucester / Mathews Humane Society.  They will take them if they have room.  You will need to call them at [phone] to check their hours and to determine if they have space available.

Answer 3

ask the RSPCA

because they can attack you when u go out side to protect the kittens

Answer 4

honestly I would just do it myself buy or rent a live animal trap, our local animal shelter rents traps and I've seen people bring in ferals during my hang out, bs with the officers and pull a dog days. Vets might give you a discount on spay/neuterif you let then know what you are doing then let the go back on your proporty. I'd leave some food and water for them but that's about as much as you can do. Consider also contacting a feral cat club, most are already fairly overwhelm as it is though, it might take some time to get out there but if the kittens are young enough they might have a chance of being rehabilitated for human contact.
