(1,576 posts)The person who did the actual rescue monitored the nest to see if mama would come back. She did not.
The next morning the tore open the wall and removed 4 kittens. They came under our care the next day. Unfortunately 2 of the 4 were very under weight and dehydrated and died the day they were taken out of the wall.
When there are sick kittens a mother will abandon them. Occasionally they will move the healthy ones to another nest but that is not very common. Especially if it is a cat's first litter.
We do what we can. They still have traps set to see if they can get the mother. At least the 2 we are caring for will get good homes. Growing up on the streets is not easy.
