Hi,

Here is my story. I found three kittens in my backyard. I fed them and took good care of them. Finally, I gave two kittens away (adoption). The bad part is that now one is left and I saw her and she looks very very sad. The other problem is that I cannot even catch her. I would be more happy if all three (brothers and sisters) were adopted by the same person at the same time.

I guess the only thing I can do is to feed her and take care of her. She is all alone in the back yard. Sometimes her mother visits but I don't think her mother has any interest in her.

There is also a male cat which comes around. Maybe the male cat will have interest in the poor black cat and they can start a new life.

Call a local rescue and ask if you can borrow a kitten trap. The rescue will most likely offer vaccinations and spay/neuter.

@Racelady88,

Thanks! Well, I can catch her (sometimes) when she is eating and I can get her vaccinated and everything. I just feel really bad that now she is all ALONE

I was almost afraid to look at this thread after seeing the title. It isn't as depressing as I feared.

How old is the little one? I hope you can do something for it.

The little one is around 5-6 months old.

You can't bring her in and keep her? Or maybe find someone who already has a young cat that she could play with?

If you haven't already, please do have her spayed as soon as you can. She's at the age where she could be going into heat before too long, and you don't want to be having to find more homes for more kittens.

@J-CityRelo,

I love cats and if it was up to me my house would be filled with cats. Unfortunately, my wife is allergic to cats so I cannot keep her in. I also tried to find someone who wants to adopt the young cat but I was not able to find anyone.

@beachmouse,

Yes, I will get her spayed!

I don't know if you have a good relationship with your vet but perhaps they could help you rehome her? My vet does this for her clients. Usually they put the kitty in a large dog crate in the lobby.

No NO, this is not a good thing. We don't want any more new lives being started. There are too many already. You yourself are dealing with someone else's irresponsibility by taking care of these kittens.

Please do get her in and get her spayed before she gets pregnant. And she WILL get pregnant, if she isn't already. A pregnant 5 month old kitten is a very bad thing.

And if you can, once you have the kitten done, trap the mother and have her done, too.
