A stressful day. I released the spayed and neutered cats without incident, however, as I was feeding and taking pictures of cats and kittens I began to hear sounds. I followed the sounds. I found three tiny kittens in the yard of the vacant house. I watched them on and off for the next hour and a half or so. When I went back over to that yard, there were only two. They appear to be too young for one to have wandered off, so perhaps Mama moved one and was coming back for the others. I checked on them an hour ago and there were still two kittens there. The other complication is that I have trapped two adult cats today (by accident, I was hoping for the kittens who were hanging around eating wet food.) So I don't know if one of these is the Mom... I released one cat (not yet altered) hoping s/he was the Mom, however, I have not yet checked to see if she has moved the kittens. I now have to decide whether to release the other cat that I have in a trap (not yet altered) in case s/he might be the Mom.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Ideally, Mom comes and moves the kittens all to one safe place. In absence of that, we'll need to find someone who can bottle feed the kittens (I'm in a workshop for the next three days and unavailable) or a lactating mother cat who can adopt the kittens.
