We do the best we can for them - this is not the time of year to be a Midwestern Kitten. If you can spare a few bucks, I would see if you can catch them and have them spayed/neutered so there aren't MORE of them. Once you start feeding them, they're yours...maybe outside kitties, but they will come to depend on you. My Dad built a box with blankets and a light to keep outside in the winter - his stray would curl up in it. We did the same for ours in Indiana.<BR/>Another thought - if you can catch them as a kittens, they're easier to adopt out...try Petsmart, or a no-kill shelter. The adults are pretty feral, so catch/neuter/release is about all you can do, but if you get the babies early enough, they can be adopted out.<BR/><BR/>Not that we've ever been through this at all. Nope. :PAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371076311855523463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12130919.post-80116166946839959092008-10-13T13:43:00.000-05:002008-10-13T13:43:00.000-05:00You're so sweet.

I think my mom may be worse than me though. She grew up on a farm and my grandma kept every stray she came in contact with, nursed it to health and made it a pet! They had a timberwolf, fox, dogs and cats galore, pet skunk, birds etc! So, my mom had that impact on us for animal life. I LOVE kittens as well! <BR/><BR/>I'm sure they're doing okay :)AmberDenaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073798960836264672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12130919.post-55497079144926510432008-10-13T12:02:00.000-05:002008-10-13T12:02:00.000-05:00I with you on those kittens!

I am the same. I think it is because, usually, humans can find their way out of being homeless or can at least go somewhere to get food and shelter. But animals are so helpless.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11880264999061343095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12130919.post-67262866721376469442008-10-12T22:27:00.000-05:002008-10-12T22:27:00.000-05:00I've just been 'adopted' by another stray cat...th...I've just been 'adopted' by another stray cat...this makes two. Luckily the weather in So Cal is mild, so they can stay outside. Wish I could come get the kittens from you, they'd fit right into the gang that's hanging out in my backyard!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14330801793315398985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12130919.post-59135074381502343942008-10-12T21:52:00.000-05:002008-10-12T21:52:00.000-05:00Ok, I know people think I'm a terrible mom but I h...Ok, I know people think I'm a terrible mom but I hate taking Saige with me shopping. For many reasons. She gets miserable. That makes me not too happy and other shoppers not too happy. I do it days when I don't have her or have someone watch her. Why should be all be miserable?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14080051502595401169noreply@blogger.com
