Feral cats should be killed along with their kittens. Feral cats are responsible for the deaths of over 300 species of small rodents and songbirds in America.
Ohhh, the momma calling to her babies just about broke my heart. I'm so glad you were able to keep this little family together. Amazing job, as always. Keep being awesome, Hannah.
The mom takes care of the babies while they need care. That is always better then hand feeding. When kittens grow up they also will separate from the mom in the wild. The point is you keep the mom around long anough to take care of them and when the kittens are old enough to take care of themselfs, then you can separate. And now the mom is spayed so she wont have to go truh this again 😊
Blobbert Mcblob Well feral cats need to be controlled, otherwise there will be a lot of feral cat deaths and problems and stuff. For a feral cat to have a litter in the middle of the city is stressful, so Yeh, like this it is something that is not good for the mom.
Again, you act like a cat doesn't know how to survive in the environment it lives in. People seem to forget that cats are not cuddly domestic pets in the first place. Cats can and will take care of themselves if need be.
Are you peta or something, it’s not animal cruelty they are helping the mom cat by sterilizing her I won’t go into it now cuz I don’t have the time but it’s.not.animal.cruelty
@@henryettoit897 It's not animal cruelty, not even close. For starters, we as humans domesticated cats, so we have an obligation to take care of them. Leaving a feral mother and kittens outside just means you are increasing the cat population that can breed. Which means even more feral mothers and kittens in turn. They lead harsh lives, kittens born in the wild have much worse survival odds too. Shelters overflow with more animals than people want, so they get euthanized. What she does is ensure a good life with a loving family for all the cats, while making sure there aren't even more unwanted cats born.

Eric- The mama cats perspective is she got caught, put in a strange place with scary two-legged critters who are always messing with her babies, then one day she gets put in a box, poked with a sharp thing and falls asleep. When she wakes up, she's still in a box, goes for a ride in a scary loud moving thing, and gets let out of the box back at her home territory. Whether she realizes the tomcats don't bother her anymore-no one knows. Given that I've seen two neutered tomcats fighting over a spayed female (all had been breeding before) at my parent's farm, they might even go through the motions, just without any kittens resulting.
True, my unspayed female cat would go up to our male cat and chirp to him, and he'd (cautiously) get into a mating position even though he's neutered, he seemed really unsure of what to do though which was always really funny to watch.
That mama cat is a true definition of protector. I'm so happy for the outcome she can be safe and sassy. I'm glad they are in a free room instead of a cage.

Yeah even when a cat hates my guts I'd never abandon them. It's how I met my first cat. :) (He totally learned to love me btw. My stubbornness won out.)
Great advice although it's hard to do that in my house; I have several feral cats in my neighborhood. One day I found an abandoned kitten after a hurricane, but took it to the fire station because my father would have shooed it away. There are dogs in the neighborhood too so I was scared for it; I can't care for the strays around here because my father doesn't like it but I love the info you provided here. You're such an awesome person to care for such small creatures...they are so fragile. 💖
THANK YOU so much that you say that´s so important to catch the mom too... I see a lot people who doesn´t understand it why it´s so important. They always see the kitten and think, they are the only ones who needs help.
Kitten Lady your a beautiful caring woman I love you so much! I have one question: how many kittens do u have altogether that are urs love u always will 💗💗💗
You are so unbelievably inspirational, i’ve been fostering with my mom since i was 6 but only found your channel about a year ago and i’ve learned so much. Keep doing what your doing you amazing amazing person!❤️❤️
I am sure you see things that break your heart, and yet you keep up the essential work you do for cats. To minimize the suffering and show these frightened and vulnerable creatures that some people will show you kindness, respect and love. You are a hero in my book. I hope you keep doing what you do.
Like 6 months ago a feral cat gave birth to 4 kittens in my backyard. It was super cold, I dont know how they survived. A few months later 3 of them just disappeared. We named the kitten Sweetie, she has a heart on her side, we named the mom figaro. The mom is such a good parent.
@AƤƠԼԼƠ Say goodbye to dogs (bruh I was bitten by a dog when I was young but I still like dogs because they’re still cute also keep your opinions to yourself)
thanks as always for the informative video! mama calling out for her babies was so sweet and heartbreaking! she's such a good mom im glad she gets to raise them in a safe environment.
You are amazing! A stray cat had her babies in my moms backyard and she was able to trap them and once the babies are done nursing, she goes in to get spayed!
We are murdering life. Soon only humans will be in the earth, while animal in wild life will get extinct. Only tame animal will survive only. I feel super sorry for those cats.
I can't believe people are disliking this! This lady is doing wonderful work to save lives!! If you saw a little dying duckling on the side of the road would you be like "eh its gonna die anyways" Unless you are messed up in your head your going to try and help this little animal to survive!
Wow, Hannah, glad you got the mom. We had a feral mom at our old office who was constantly getting into the attic and having kittens. We could not, no matter what we tried, trap the mother. We even tried putting a kitten directly in the trap. Nothing worked, nothing. Eventually the landlord came in and sealed up where she was getting in - it did nothing for the mother and her kittens except to cut them off from people who were trying to help her.
Fluffy Arctic Wolves , mom was very wily. We tried everything we knew to trap her. She stopped coming around after we sealed up the attic - nothing we could do after that.
Better to adopt a cat from the shelter who wants a home and is at risk of euthanization rather than a cat that loves being outdoors! Its lovely that people are concerned, but mama cat is terrified of people.
The mum is like "you can f right off with your bs! I said. *F. Right. Off!!!*" lol I'm so glad to see you doing this. I have ine of these traps and want to do this for kitties myself.
Are you a vegan if so you are so stupid! You care about not eating whatever you don’t eat .. all for a good cause right? But are head over heels for this sort of treatment
I've seen your videos before, but haven't subscribed. I'm interested to see the progress of these kittens. I'm subscribed and clicked the notification bell. I'll look forward to an update on this family. Thank you for taking care of them.
AWW, the poor mommy cat is so scared for herself and her five dear sweet babies :-( I hope that the mother cat will calm down enough to realize that she and her five dear sweet babies are in a safe place for her to raise them until they are old enough to be fixed and adopted :-) I hope that the mother cat will realize that there are humans she can trust after she gets fixed and return to her colony :-)
if she lives in a colony that has a caregiver (which most TNR programs require) then she knows humans are ok if she knows them. I have a colony that I care for, they all love on me and let me pick them up and pet them but not anyone else...they run from other people.
Cats don't live in colonies. Colonies are bullshit made up by these rescues. Colonies are literally created by the rescues, who feed the cats, as a result, the cats come to expect being fed and gather in an area to wait.
@@blobbertmcblob4888 I'm not sure you know what you are talking about. Looks like social groups to me. They greet each other, hang out together, and join in common interests, or not.
Hannah, once the kittens have been captured with the mom, do you have the mom tested for FeLv and FIV? If so and you get a positive test result, ethically do you release back into the location found or are they euthanized? 15 or so years ago I found a very lovable male cat. Scooped him up and took to my vet to be tested, as I had other cats, and no one comes into the house without being tested. He tested positive for FIV. My thoughts ran from, do I euthanize him, take him back to where I found him, find a place that will take special needs cats, or find a way to keep him? I boarded him for 2weeks while I built him a room in my shed, fully insulated with a window to the world. While I wouldn't set out to home a FIV positive cat, I learned a lot about FIV in the 12 years I had him. My vet was a feline only practitioner and allowed me to keep antibiotics at home for the occasions when he exhibited gingivitis. A little teeth brushing and peroxide with the antibiotics kept him with all his teeth and healthy with minimal trips to the vet.
Gunga Dinn You can keep FIV+ cats with other cats provided they get along. (See Cole & Marmalade for a typical example.) FIV isn't a good reason for euthanasia any more. FeLV+ cats cannot seem to give birth to live kittens, but I'm sure there are exceptions out there. When we see multiple stillbirths it's a red flag - in my area the culprit was often FeLV. I've taken in FeLV+ cats so they can't spread it and to give the cats a normal life and peaceful death. The vet I work with has several, the oldest being around 10. Mine have lasted several years beyond diagnosis, so I no longer think of them as temporary!
SBlackmare+ My issue was with the two male cats I already had. Both were very possessive of me and would not accept a full grown cat in THEIR house. I had two college girls that lived a few doors away, left their cat behind. He was such a sweet cat, that I took him in. The boys after a few months indoctrination would gang up on him biting his butt. I re homed him with my parents. I see way too many special needs cats in my local animal shelter. Most are FIV positive males. I've only seen 1 female cat with FIV. After having a FIV kitty, provided I had the space, I wouldn't be adverse to a foundling with FIV. FeLv, because of the contagious nature of the disease, I can't or won't do.
My grandmother has 8 cats, 5 of which have FIV. well no, one is them is only a carrier. She had four kittens, one of which died due to the condition unfortunately. all of her kittens got it. I'm not sure how the oldest cat got it, but it might of been because the mother and him didn't exactly get along too well in the beginning and she might of infected him, but I'm unsure.
TheKoriCode. Snap test run about $15-25 a pop. They have to be snap tested before they can be adopted out. Usually they just test mom. If it comes back positive then kittens are tested after they are old enough to not need moms milk.
You have the best, most inspirational videos. Its great to see someone like you that cares so much about animals! Its amazing to see many people get inspired by you, go out and help cats. This is a really smart way to capture a ferrel cat! never stop helping cats! Good luck in the future! I hope you continue this channel far into the future!
This KITTEN LADY IS A ANGEL, SHE CARES ABOUT THE CATS. IT IS FANTASTIC THAT SHE CAN HAVE MOMA CAT WITH HER KITTENS. THATS SWEET and gives them A better chance to Survive.
Awww, im glad you got them, I have a feral mom with 7 babies that I am fostering, and 3 kittens that I bottle fed and are now eating wet food mixed with kmr ^__^
Thank you for your very educational videos! I TNR but have never seen kittens but I always do check during kitten season to make sure none of the cats are lactating.
Thanks for the work you do. I'm quietly working on TNR program in my neighborhood, also in Prince George's County. We're TNR fails and just adopted two of the kittens. They're 4 months old.
We recently found a cat that was (what we think was dumped) in our neighborhood and came across our home. At first we were hesitant to touch it and talk to it so we left it alone (and it went on). Within a week it was back and we just decided to feed it and ever since then we have kept it as our own and recently it had a 6 kittens and we have been watching all of these videos and it has helped us so much on trying to figure out what to do and how to help her with her new family.
This is our 3rd rescue in the last year! We had 2 kitties, then we moved and last summer another kitten followed us home from the local Sinclair station and is now our cat. His name is Sinclair of course! Then last fall we found a friendly mama kitty visiting our outside food dish for the neighborhood kitties and she let us bring her in and help her birth and care for her kittens. We homed those kittens and got her spayed she is now our little Biscuit! My daughter loves this so much she wants to have a cat rescue when she is older but right now we just do it as they come into our lives. Thanks for teaching!
Hiii kitten lady! I just wanted to say I adore how u help these kittens and that I’m super happy when I watch ur videos! I love u so much and I wish I had a kitten!
Mama's gorgeous I'm fostering a feral Mama with her kittens. I can actually scratch her head. My friend had been trying to catch her for a few years. She had babies every year. When weaned, the babies will get adopted, Mama fixed and returned to her colony.
@@blobbertmcblob4888 we used to think that cats were completely independent but research now suggests that they live in large colonies if they aren't domestic.
@@blobbertmcblob4888 are you stupid. Who TF brought up a kids book. Feral cats live in packs like wolves and lions. You can even see the other cats in the colony in the video when they were trapping the momma cat. I hope this was sarcasm.
once I have the place I would love to foster kittens. Wish I could now but my dorm room isn't really suitable yet. But I'm having plans of moving into an appartement in the next year. And that would be better :)
Marias Project Similar situation here. We aren’t aloud by our landlord to foster any animals. ( me and my sister wanted to foster puppies a couple years ago) but to no luck. And which is a good thing most of the feral cats where I live are spayed and neutered!
It's mentally and emotionally exhausting. Its worth it in the long run but it can break you heart when you lose one, and it will happen eventually. Most kittens have parasites too passed on from mom so deworm deworm deworm!
When I found 4 kittens alone I looked every where and I even waited for the mom for a couple of hours but she was no where to be found. So now I have 2 kittens and my cousin has 2 kittens
I have a Trapped mumma with 5 kittens right now! She was trapped pregnant about 10 days ago and had her babies a week ago tomorrow! I watch her and her beans’ on the Petcube, she always has such a big smile on her face, so warm and safe ❤️
Just came home from school and immediately wanted to watch your amazing videos! Keep up the amazing work kitten lady! Also when I get older I want to foster edit: ugh summer went so fast... oh well 😂
What you do is so amazing! God bless you for what you do every day/night for so many kittens and the moms. I’ve learned so much I didn’t know and what you do is incredible! From one empathic animal lover(especially cats) to another tysm for what you do! 🙏🏽🥰😸

"Should" be is your opinion.

We have had issues with off leash dogs in our area that have been killing the wildlife though and other small dogs.
Try is maybe a better word? Try and socialize before leaving them to be hit by cars and attacked by other animals.
not every feral cat can become a pet and I am sure cat advocates who are putting so much effort into spaying and neutering have the experience to make the decision if a feral cat is able to become tame or not. If not it would be like forcing a lynx to be a house pet. Not a good idea if all they know and have developed skills for is to be wild. sort of like when a baby duck can become imprinted on a human and think that is mom, a cat can become "imprinted" as a domestic animal or a wild one and those hard wired environmental factors sometimes can not be changed no matter the efforts. It would be more to pacify the humans than to think of the well being of the animals. Again why I said earlier it was COMPASSIONATE of them to let the feral cats back to the safety of what they know rather than stepping in and forcing a wild animal to live as a pet.
Cathy Kauffman YES, this. Often, if you can catch/neuter/return a kitty,it prevents other cats from hanging around.
May God and the forces of universe bless the Kitten Lady and the team behind her. You people are awesome.
Only God, The Maker of the universe, can Bless them. So Beautiful
^ Lmao god
Why do i see God commets everywhere?? I'm not in a religon im mostly a satanist and a christan tho. jesus. You people are werid,

Or Gender
Or Anything Else About Them
Just Their Name

*_Heart melts_*
Yeah even when a cat hates my guts I'd never abandon them. It's how I met my first cat. :)
(He totally learned to love me btw. My stubbornness won out.)
Same with my current cat
Love your profile pic :D ♡
He uses you for food now and will eat you when your dead

Great advice although it's hard to do that in my house; I have several feral cats in my neighborhood. One day I found an abandoned kitten after a hurricane, but took it to the fire station because my father would have shooed it away. There are dogs in the neighborhood too so I was scared for it; I can't care for the strays around here because my father doesn't like it but I love the info you provided here. You're such an awesome person to care for such small creatures...they are so fragile. 💖
Yes same I don't have a cat but I'm afraid if I ever got a chance to help one my papa in gonna say no before I even ask
She hates you now but, she's going to thank you later lol, thank you for all you do, hugs from Indiana 😀
Tammy C im sure shes going to thank her when the kittens are taken off of her
Skeptical Mom.
Reese Van Meter me too!
Tammy C ummmmmmmmmm ok
Me too
THANK YOU so much that you say that´s so important to catch the mom too...
I see a lot people who doesn´t understand it why it´s so important. They always see the kitten and think, they are the only ones who needs help.
Great Job Hannah. Go Kitten Lady! So love your videos they are so helpful.
Thanks Debbie!
Kitten Lady your a beautiful caring woman I love you so much! I have one question: how many kittens do u have altogether that are urs love u always will 💗💗💗

You are so unbelievably inspirational, i’ve been fostering with my mom since i was 6 but only found your channel about a year ago and i’ve learned so much. Keep doing what your doing you amazing amazing person!❤️❤️
"Hello, skeptical mom".
She hisses.
"Ups. Ok. Never mind".
Hahahaha So hilarious!
I am sure you see things that break your heart, and yet you keep up the essential work you do for cats. To minimize the suffering and show these frightened and vulnerable creatures that some people will show you kindness, respect and love. You are a hero in my book. I hope you keep doing what you do.
Like 6 months ago a feral cat gave birth to 4 kittens in my backyard. It was super cold, I dont know how they survived. A few months later 3 of them just disappeared. We named the kitten Sweetie, she has a heart on her side, we named the mom figaro. The mom is such a good parent.
@Whitney what are u on about
@AƤƠԼԼƠ Say goodbye to dogs
(bruh I was bitten by a dog when I was young but I still like dogs because they’re still cute also keep your opinions to yourself)
thanks as always for the informative video! mama calling out for her babies was so sweet and heartbreaking! she's such a good mom im glad she gets to raise them in a safe environment.
You are amazing! A stray cat had her babies in my moms backyard and she was able to trap them and once the babies are done nursing, she goes in to get spayed!
Oh, good to hear :-)
We are murdering life. Soon only humans will be in the earth, while animal in wild life will get extinct. Only tame animal will survive only. I feel super sorry for those cats.
Omg it was sooo cute when the mom was trying to find her baby’s and trying to go in and try to find her way in ❤️❤️
Literally watching this part right now
I can't believe people are disliking this! This lady is doing wonderful work to save lives!! If you saw a little dying duckling on the side of the road would you be like "eh its gonna die anyways" Unless you are messed up in your head your going to try and help this little animal to survive!
I am forever touched by the love and devotion and protectiveness animals have for their babies.
Wow, Hannah, glad you got the mom. We had a feral mom at our old office who was constantly getting into the attic and having kittens. We could not, no matter what we tried, trap the mother. We even tried putting a kitten directly in the trap. Nothing worked, nothing. Eventually the landlord came in and sealed up where she was getting in - it did nothing for the mother and her kittens except to cut them off from people who were trying to help her.
awwwww
Aw what happened?
Well I adopted four of her kittens: one is now 11, two are 10, and one passed away last year. :( We found homes for the others.
@@ddieter603 Um what about the mom?
Fluffy Arctic Wolves , mom was very wily. We tried everything we knew to trap her. She stopped coming around after we sealed up the attic - nothing we could do after that.
"Hello skeptical mom"
*Angry hisses*
"I won't eat you, I'm vegan!"
😄😄😄😄😄 that was so funny
Owl 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ahem.
Found the vegan.
hey it’s Owlity
How do you recognize a toxic vegan ? Easy! They can't even shut up to animals about it.
And this way the mom won’t be traumatized for loosing her babies either! 💔😿❤️😻
Yes yes💓💓💓💓
She would quickly replace them, if not spayed!
feral mom is cute. if she can be tamed I wish I could take her in and spoil her.
Better to adopt a cat from the shelter who wants a home and is at risk of euthanization rather than a cat that loves being outdoors! Its lovely that people are concerned, but mama cat is terrified of people.
JoonBug Arts well I guess she is tolerating the humans now
Korkhik She is not
Any Update on this Story??
D McCarthy I heard all the kitties were adopted and the mom was released safely
Wow, she is totally feral. Beautiful rescue thanks Hannah!
The mum is like "you can f right off with your bs! I said. *F. Right. Off!!!*" lol
I'm so glad to see you doing this. I have ine of these traps and want to do this for kitties myself.
Are you a vegan if so you are so stupid! You care about not eating whatever you don’t eat .. all for a good cause right? But are head over heels for this sort of treatment
@@bkmixups1796 what are you talking about
There are no appropriate words to express how amazing you are and what you do. Thank you so very much.
"Hello skeptical mum" That one got me XD
That girl has such a sweet attitude. If only all humans could be that compassionate.
Hannah talking spanish lol
Estoy aprendiendo! Ja ja.
Kitten Lady I love you so much!
I've seen your videos before, but haven't subscribed. I'm interested to see the progress of these kittens. I'm subscribed and clicked the notification bell. I'll look forward to an update on this family. Thank you for taking care of them.
when mama meowed for her babys it broke my heart
mama cat: wheres my babies?
*sees* *babies*
mama: GIVE BABIES
My gratitude for people like you is SO profound
This work takes GREAT emotional strength and a genius level EQ
It's adorable how much the mommy cat cared for her babies. It's just wonderful. Thank God for these wonders, and I hope they get a good home.
AWW, the poor mommy cat is so scared for herself and her five dear sweet babies :-( I hope that the mother cat will calm down enough to realize that she and her five dear sweet babies are in a safe place for her to raise them until they are old enough to be fixed and adopted :-) I hope that the mother cat will realize that there are humans she can trust after she gets fixed and return to her colony :-)
cybercat29
It happens more often than people want you to know. The moms don't always want to go back to the colony.
I’m sure eventually she’ll realize that she’s in a good place
if she lives in a colony that has a caregiver (which most TNR programs require) then she knows humans are ok if she knows them. I have a colony that I care for, they all love on me and let me pick them up and pet them but not anyone else...they run from other people.
Cats don't live in colonies. Colonies are bullshit made up by these rescues. Colonies are literally created by the rescues, who feed the cats, as a result, the cats come to expect being fed and gather in an area to wait.
@@blobbertmcblob4888 I'm not sure you know what you are talking about. Looks like social groups to me. They greet each other, hang out together, and join in common interests, or not.
Hannah, once the kittens have been captured with the mom, do you have the mom tested for FeLv and FIV? If so and you get a positive test result, ethically do you release back into the location found or are they euthanized?
15 or so years ago I found a very lovable male cat. Scooped him up and took to my vet to be tested, as I had other cats, and no one comes into the house without being tested. He tested positive for FIV.
My thoughts ran from, do I euthanize him, take him back to where I found him, find a place that will take special needs cats, or find a way to keep him? I boarded him for 2weeks while I built him a room in my shed, fully insulated with a window to the world.
While I wouldn't set out to home a FIV positive cat, I learned a lot about FIV in the 12 years I had him. My vet was a feline only practitioner and allowed me to keep antibiotics at home for the occasions when he exhibited gingivitis. A little teeth brushing and peroxide with the antibiotics kept him with all his teeth and healthy with minimal trips to the vet.

You can keep FIV+ cats with other cats provided they get along. (See Cole & Marmalade for a typical example.) FIV isn't a good reason for euthanasia any more.
FeLV+ cats cannot seem to give birth to live kittens, but I'm sure there are exceptions out there. When we see multiple stillbirths it's a red flag - in my area the culprit was often FeLV.
I've taken in FeLV+ cats so they can't spread it and to give the cats a normal life and peaceful death. The vet I work with has several, the oldest being around 10. Mine have lasted several years beyond diagnosis, so I no longer think of them as temporary!
SBlackmare+
My issue was with the two male cats I already had. Both were very possessive of me and would not accept a full grown cat in THEIR house.
I had two college girls that lived a few doors away, left their cat behind. He was such a sweet cat, that I took him in. The boys after a few months indoctrination would gang up on him biting his butt. I re homed him with my parents.
I see way too many special needs cats in my local animal shelter. Most are FIV positive males. I've only seen 1 female cat with FIV.
After having a FIV kitty, provided I had the space, I wouldn't be adverse to a foundling with FIV. FeLv, because of the contagious nature of the disease, I can't or won't do.
My grandmother has 8 cats, 5 of which have FIV. well no, one is them is only a carrier. She had four kittens, one of which died due to the condition unfortunately. all of her kittens got it. I'm not sure how the oldest cat got it, but it might of been because the mother and him didn't exactly get along too well in the beginning and she might of infected him, but I'm unsure.
TheKoriCode. Snap test run about $15-25 a pop. They have to be snap tested before they can be adopted out. Usually they just test mom. If it comes back positive then kittens are tested after they are old enough to not need moms milk.
Gunga Dinn | 15? How old are you
You have the best, most inspirational videos. Its great to see someone like you that cares so much about animals! Its amazing to see many people get inspired by you, go out and help cats. This is a really smart way to capture a ferrel cat! never stop helping cats! Good luck in the future! I hope you continue this channel far into the future!
Seeing a family unit just melts my heart
Kitten Lady: Epitome of a person that is beautiful inside and out. Thank you for what you do.
Glad you take time and effort to help these amazing animals.

No you are so cute :D
Oh hi 🙂
@bollo are you a hacker
Amazing work! I did a loud "Woohoo!!" when the mom got into the cage! Hopefully we'll get an update on that bunch :)
Watching these videos, my cat hears the kitten meowing, and comes to help. She’s so adorable.
This KITTEN LADY

Awww, im glad you got them, I have a feral mom with 7 babies that I am fostering, and 3 kittens that I bottle fed and are now eating wet food mixed with kmr ^__^
She is GOOD!!! SHE IS GOOD!!!!
A WONDERFUL PERSON!! GOD BLESS THIS EXCELENTE HUMAN BEING!!!
Thank you for your very educational videos! I TNR but have never seen kittens but I always do check during kitten season to make sure none of the cats are lactating.
Thank You for loving these beautiful fur baby’s..
Thanks for the work you do. I'm quietly working on TNR program in my neighborhood, also in Prince George's County. We're TNR fails and just adopted two of the kittens. They're 4 months old.
I love how mommy cat just sees the kittens in a carrier and immediately goes up to them
"Hello sceptical mom!"😂😂😂😂
You're the best kitten lady
We recently found a cat that was (what we think was dumped) in our neighborhood and came across our home. At first we were hesitant to touch it and talk to it so we left it alone (and it went on). Within a week it was back and we just decided to feed it and ever since then we have kept it as our own and recently it had a 6 kittens and we have been watching all of these videos and it has helped us so much on trying to figure out what to do and how to help her with her new family.
This is our 3rd rescue in the last year! We had 2 kitties, then we moved and last summer another kitten followed us home from the local Sinclair station and is now our cat. His name is Sinclair of course! Then last fall we found a friendly mama kitty visiting our outside food dish for the neighborhood kitties and she let us bring her in and help her birth and care for her kittens. We homed those kittens and got her spayed she is now our little Biscuit! My daughter loves this so much she wants to have a cat rescue when she is older but right now we just do it as they come into our lives. Thanks for teaching!

Your an amazing human being for taking care of kittens.
Mama's gorgeous I'm fostering a feral Mama with her kittens. I can actually scratch her head. My friend had been trying to catch her for a few years. She had babies every year. When weaned, the babies will get adopted, Mama fixed and returned to her colony.
Then she's not feral. Also, cats do not live in "colonies".
+Blobbert Mcblob feral cats absolutely live in colonies. You know nothing about cats.
@@blobbertmcblob4888 we used to think that cats were completely independent but research now suggests that they live in large colonies if they aren't domestic.
definitelynotabby still no. Cats most definately do not live in colonies under any situation, Warrior cats is a fictional story.
@@blobbertmcblob4888 are you stupid. Who TF brought up a kids book. Feral cats live in packs like wolves and lions. You can even see the other cats in the colony in the video when they were trapping the momma cat. I hope this was sarcasm.
once I have the place I would love to foster kittens. Wish I could now but my dorm room isn't really suitable yet. But I'm having plans of moving into an appartement in the next year. And that would be better :)
Marias Project Similar situation here. We aren’t aloud by our landlord to foster any animals. ( me and my sister wanted to foster puppies a couple years ago) but to no luck. And which is a good thing most of the feral cats where I live are spayed and neutered!
It's mentally and emotionally exhausting. Its worth it in the long run but it can break you heart when you lose one, and it will happen eventually. Most kittens have parasites too passed on from mom so deworm deworm deworm!
When I found 4 kittens alone I looked every where and I even waited for the mom for a couple of hours but she was no where to be found. So now I have 2 kittens and my cousin has 2 kittens
you can each make two mittens out of the kittens
I found 4 cute kittens... But niw they had a forever home!!
*You can call one of the kittens mittens. You meant to say that.
Make mittens FOR the kittens. :)

What a good mama! Very protective of her babies.
I have a Trapped mumma with 5 kittens right now! She was trapped pregnant about 10 days ago and had her babies a week ago tomorrow! I watch her and her beans’ on the Petcube, she always has such a big smile on her face, so warm and safe ❤️
