As I understand it, (1) you have four rescued kittens that you are caring for until they are adopted; meanwhile, (2) you are feeding and getting close to 3 feral kittens (was 4, one died recently) and mother in hopes of trapping them?????

There are now 5 ferals I'm feeding and hope to TNR. Mama Skittish, her surviving kittens Mittens and Scooter, Spooky, who is the mother of the kittens I have, and Bruiser, a HUGE buff colored tomcat who is terrified of me. None of the toms I've seen are bi colored or gray so I have no idea who the father of the 4 kittens I have might be, but little Squeaky strongly resembles his mom.

I know of another family, on the other end of the neighborhood, also feeds ferals.

Just in the past few days I've seen 2 'road kill' cats on the subdivision streets, which is heartbreaking.

Squeaky is dozing in the soft cat bed.

This is the first that Madoc has stopped ZOOMING, since he finished breakfast at 5:45, this morning!

And will you share them with us? I'd love to see how they turn out.

And I'll be sure to share them.

Gwenllian is almost a twin to Morgan but little Squeaky - I'm really looking forward to those updates and photos.

I think their 'future mom' might stop by, tonight. She will sure be surprised when she sees Squeaky. I do believe that Friday is their departure day.
