The article did not have all the details of what took place when we trapped the kittens. We did trap the mother and had her neutered and returned. The catch and release program with her ear clip . We fed the mama and the kittens with wet and dry food for a few days and saw that they were weened from the mama.
We worked on getting the babies tamed for weeks. When they were adopted they were purring and beatuiful loving kittens.
I still see the mama at on the border living and healthy. We leave food and water every week for her.

It's a shame that Cactus Cats didn't show you how to properly implement TNR: trap all the cats, get them fixed/neutered, return them to where trapped and care for them. Now that you have taken the kittens, the mother cat will come back into season and in 65 days you'll have kittens all over again. It's great that you are socializing the kittens but that's only a small part of keeping the community cat population under control.
Lots of people feel just trap and remove them. This solves nothing and other cats will just come in and fill the now open territory and start the breeding all over again. We call trap and remove "trap and kill" because these feral cats are not adoptable and are killed at shelters.
Please fix all the cats in your yard and you'll truly help the cats. thanks. www.alleycat.org
