Update: I got all 3 kittens this morning .. 🐈🐈🐈
I got to the lot around 8:30am it was so cold. I didnt see any cats but i looked in the shelter box & saw orsnge fur.
I ran to my car and got cardboard & a trap. I quietly went back to the shelters and quickly put the cardboard up against the hole and the trap up against it, but I had to move a long piece of wood out of the way, so the trap would sit so I put that behind the trap to hold it and slid the door open to the trap and move the cardboard and they started running in and out, so I saw that all three of them were in there they all ran back into the shelter.
I tried tapping on the Shelter jiggling it a little bit and I only got the one orange cat to come out so I put the trap fork sideways in the trap to leave him in there and continue to try and get them but they weren’t coming out I think tapping was scaring them so I secured the trap up against the shelter with a big log behind it so they couldn’t move it, and I stuffed rags on the side of the trap and ran into my car and got my phone and gloves.. I called the people that worked there and the lady came down to help me. Her tape wasn’t sticking, but we taped up the hole and I took the hole shelter home to transfer them in my bathroom.
Thanks everyone for the prayers to keep them safe overnight. They are eating & warm.
AC is on the way to pick them up.
Yesterday I got a call from a trucking company I talked to during the end of summer about cats needing to get fixed there. The mom cat finally bought her 3 kittens out from behind tractor trailers and had them in shelters.
I bought traps with me but the kittens weren’t coming out to them and there was so much food they were probably full.
Today the lot was closed so I figured it wud be quiet & maybe they wud be hungry enough to go in traps.
Well mom cat got caught before I cud chase her away so I couldn’t let her out. I figured the kittens will go in now that she’s not blocking them… nope!! 🙀😼🤦♀️
Half of the day spent waiting and trying different things but mainly chasing big male cats away… nope..😡
They played and climbed the tree, hid in between barrels, snuck out to grab a piece of food now & then but were NOT going near the traps.. 🪤
I had to call it a day and get mom cat to her holding area for clinic tomorrow. I feel so sad they are out there without mom. 😢 I never take mom before kittens it just happened today..
Please pray for the kittens safety tonight and to go in traps in the morning when I head over there. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Poor momma banged her face in the trap and her nose was bleeding then she had smelly diarrhea.. 😿 Please pray for mom cat too, that her surgery goes well and she is ok.
