Sometime this fall a stray cat had a litter under my shed out back. I had seen the mother around for a while, but when I heard the baby kitties crying I realized that I had a problem that I had to deal with:
They were crying for days so I finally bought some food for them to eat.
This little one isn't as afraid of me as the others. He'll let me pet him, but he is skittish and races under the shed to be with his brothers.
This little kitty has junk in his eye. I took him inside and tried to clean it off, but it wasn't easy with him sinking his claws into my arm.
A couple of the kitties have this problem with their eyes.
This is what he looks like after I wipe his eyes.
Any advice? Take them to a shelter or try to give them away? They're strays, but fairly tame. They haven't tried to bite or anything, and they're fairly calm.
I think I'm going to have to get a cage to trap the mother. I keep trying but I can't catch her. She'll just keep having these stray kitties if i just leave her.
It's going to start getting cold and wet here, so I'm going to have to get them to a better home. Do you think anyone will want them? Or should I take them to the animal shelter?
