So I have those 3 stray kittens in my garage and their mom is outside.
Calling for them.
-Do I put them back outside with her, where they can slide down the steep slope into the crick, get eaten by a possum or hawk? (hawks don't mess around in these parts)
-Or do I keep feeding them till I  can find them homes.

Note- they're weened, they eat dry food, but they're tiny.

What do I do? Anyone know?  :sad:

Make oven mitts out of 'em.

Find a local no-kill shelter.  Kittens go fast in those places.

Jenne, if I don't find homes for them I may have to. But what about the mom? Should I just give them back?

Jenne

Put the mom in with them, if you're afraid of them coming to harm.  And you can give the whole kit-n-kaboodle to the shelter...they'd get medical care that way.  And feeding.

Or, they'll get gassed.  Either way, no longer your problem.

Alternatively, you could feed them to the Owls.

NO KILL = no gas

That's why I said no-kill.

LMNO

Oh.  You believe that, huh?

Remember, this is Florida we're talking about.

If the cats wander into your engine block instead of your stoop, aren't you still supposed to eat them?

All No-Kill shelters have time limts, granted they are longer than the average 15 days in the pound, but evenutally an unadopted animal will be put to sleep.....

Let on the the neighborhood little girls see them and they will all be gone quickly.  Little girls can't resist kittens!!

Sir Squid Diddimus

I'm not really worried about finding them homes so much as I'm worried about the mother outside looking for her children.
But I know if I leave them outside the hawks (and yes owls) will get them.

This is true...If you did take them in, they'd probably go really quick(..would probably be equally as true if you took them into a no-kill center). Who doesn't love kittens?....Well, except Roger(with the exception of Tom...You liked Tom! I seenit!).

Edit: I'd suggest letting the mum in. :)
