I would say that you deff need to reach out to a rescue NOW & not after the mother gets pregnant again AND her kittens will be pregnant before you know it. There are already WAY too many homeless cats in the world & lord knows we don't need more. I am a cat LOVER & have 3 now & my issue with the strays is that they can & often do pass their deadly diseases to peoples pet cats, even those that don't go outside. Intact stray cats are NOT a wait situation , EVER !
It sounds like this woman may have over her legal limit living in her house & IF this is the case you can call animal control on her. Also the next time she asks you "what's your hurry " you need to tell her that you don't want those kittens getting pregnant & bringing more homeless cats into your neighborhood, PISSING in your yard & having more babies under YOUR shed. Tell her that if she wants the cats then keep them in HER yard or you WILL trap them & take them to the shelter. UGH ! I have been through this as well & it took over a year to catch them all & take them to a rescue. There were a couple that were older that my aunt was feeding outside that started the whole thing & those I allowed her to keep but it took a few months to catch them so I could get them altered & vaccinated. By the time we had caught the last kitten I believe we had ended up with 87 cats that we had to find rescues to take, all because she would not catch the 2 or 3 original cats & get them altered. I wish you much luck. |
