The vets collared me yesterday about some kittens that had either been dumped or were feral and were just down the road from there. I went over about 8 o'clock last night and sat for 3 hours freezing to death and only saw 2 what looked to be young cats. I've got a dilemma on today as I caught one and apparently she is the spit of the mum but we're not sure if she is or not
I spoke to the lady that reported them but she seems to think they are about 10 weeks old but the one's I saw look about 5/6 months so I'm not sure if she's got her wires crossed or what. Anyway the one I got is what I would class as an absolute spitfire
I went to feed her earlier and she came running at me and whacked me straight away, not a very nice kitty at all
I'm going to try and get her in a crush cage later and have a look at her underneath to see if she has actually been feeding kittens but to me she does look too young really. I need to try and get her in straightaway and get her back out, she is a loop and is going to be a nightmare whilst she's recovering. One of the other vets does invisible stitches so I'm going to try and get her to do her so she can be released asap.
The lady who contacted the vets offered to take them on at her farm but this one I doubt very much will settle and god knows how she will keep her contained. She will charge at you to attack so I think it may be best if she goes back to where she came from. I'm going to go back up there to try and see if I can spot the "kittens" the lady is referring to and if I get them, they can go in with this one whether she's the mum or not as they are all in the same spot.
