Any pics you don't mind me using?
Cats were once gods; they have never forgotten this, nor have the people they own.

Yes he was waiting the next day in the trap.

Sorted  -  for the time being.

Got the 3 kittens trapped, a boy (tabby and white) and 2 girls (tabby/tortie white and black and white).
The RP (?) and his wife offered to take them on and try to tame/rehome them as they have a dog cage.
Been to the vet came back with the usual flea/worm stuff. Bought them food, litter etc (from the vet!).

The kittens are about 2 months old, in good health if dirty.

Car stinks of pilchards - but it does the deed.

Left trap baited in boiler room as there was an older black kitten snoozing on the pipes so will go back to collect trap tomorrow (and maybe cat).

Derek (Coventry CP) had been trapping there yesterday and picked up 3 cats and 4 kittens - he thinks he may have the mum of these in his lot. Grown up to be done and returned.

The barracks has a long range of heatinhg systems all over the place and the cats get down there and roam.

Might be helpful if you could give an idea of age

I had a call from a lady who works in an army barracks near nuneaton.
She has 3 feral kittens hanging around her kitchens.
She is not supposed to feed them but does when she can but she says they are starving and its breaking her heart to see them trying to steal food.
She can't take them home as she already has a houseful of rescue cats and dogs and parrots. She's tried all the local rescues and , yes youv'e guessed it , no-one can help her.

All I can do is offer to help catch them and provide a loan of a pen etc....

I know its probably a no-hoper but can anyone offer to foster these things? I'd be happy to transport them up to about 100 miles from Coventry.
