*sigh* A feral cat has had a litter of kittens in my side yard. [View all]
They're cute as the dickens, but I don't know what to do.
They are not accessible, at all. The momma had them in my husband's derelict 52 Ford pickup. It is wedged into the side yard between our house and the boundary fence along with two kayaks, a sailboat, and various other detritus. It's a perfect place to hide kittens without big predators coming to get them. That includes humans.
When I was young and not hopelessly arthritic, I probably could get at them, but not as things are now.
I can set cat traps and try to TNR the group.
But the real tragedy is that we have coyotes. Lots and lots of coyotes around here.
If I do nothing, the likelihood is that they will be eaten in a matter of weeks.
Feral cats can be tamed, but it takes time and patience. Time they probably don't have.
We don't have a feral cat problem around here. I'm really stunned that a momma cat was even able to reproduce before becoming coyote chow.
Anybody have any great ideas?
