-- Hello, this is my first time posting to this group. I usually post and
help Samoyed Rescue. Every since I helped my last Samoyed Rescue cross over
to the Rainbow Bridge this past May, I've been loaded with stray cats. At
one time this summer, we were feeding about 8 of them. All adult.  Except in
August. We had a large grey cat my brother named "Garfield", cause thats
what he kind of looked like. Well, about the first week in August, we
discovered one night that Garfield was really Garfieldette and she had two
kittens. She brough them all the way over to our house to eat.  The kittens
would have came right into our house, but mom cat gently grabed them by the
nap of their neck and stopped them. I wish she hadn't. It snowed this past
Tuesday night and Wednesday, 7 inches in all.  We have not fed any cat since
then. Now, tonight, we just fed mom cat science digest and gave her some of
that really expensive milk they make for kittens( its about 4 bucks for a
quart over here).
As far as we can tell, the kittens aren't far from here, but we would really
like to save them from the winter. We've put a sleeping bag on the front
porch ( it is open) and put an army blanket on the floor. We covered the
whole thing so mom and the kids could have a shelter.
So what should we do now?
try and catch them, and stick them some place inside the house? The one
kitten liked to come inside, till I tried to trap her last Sunday night. Boy
is this fast.
But she has built the trust back up and does venture inside ( this was from
before last Tuesdays snow storm)
We know Samoyed dogs. We do not know cats.

any and all suggestions and help would be appreciated.
Rich, Emil and just a whole back yard full of furry critters.

Once the kittens are weaned, they will probably follow the mother
to your food source.
