Can't wait to see pics, hope mum is doing well. Sounds like she's in good hands with you.The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0

Just taking it very slowly with her, I dread to think what happened to her to make her so fearful of humans.0

Oh yes, going to be lots to do.
Getting mum spayed is on the list, one litter I can cope with, but not litters every few months. Got to figure out way to catch her though.
Kittens - will try and find homes, but if not they will stay with me. They will also get fixed once old enough.
Do wish they were all safely in a box by the side of the fire so I could gaze at them all

I kept t of of the litter from a homeless pregnant cat that my daughter took in.
It was such joy to see them all from the moment they were born and tp handle them straight away.
BUT - no more litters anywhere around me, too many cats all over the place needing homes.
So please catch the mum as she can get pregnant very soon after giving birth...
And get those photosssssssssssssss0 -
As soon as they are found, there will be pictures

I'll make contact with local cats home this week, so if they have any tricks to catching her in due course. Me being patient and hoping the food would work isn't being quick enough.0 -
I am sure they will be able to loan you a cat trap.Just so long as you know where the kittens are.I am sure they will become quite vocal once Mum is caught.0

A rare picture of my stray cat - could only get this close whilst she was eating!

Have found where she and babies are, the most inaccessible part of the hay loft! She was getting very stressed when OH was 10 foot away, so have decided to leave her for now.0 -
Ohhhhhhhh a tortie...... sweet little girl...
How old do you think the babies are now? Any idea/estimate at all?0 -
They will be about 11 days old, based on sightings of her.0
