Dear friends,

I am very relieved to announce that with the help of a local rescue
group -StrayFromTheHeights- we were able to get the three kittens and
later to trap successfully the mom.

They are now recovering from these very hard last weeks in a warm and
loving foster
home.

And apparently, the mother seems 'quite' friendly an trusting enough
to let Cathy, the co-rescuer and foster mom taking care of her little
ones.

I would like to thank here from all my hart every one who supported me
with this rescue.
I have been extremly stressed and all your supporting words and
assistance have made the difference and allowed this action to be
successful!

Dear cats lovers,

I am trying to help stray cats around my building in Harlem.

I discovered a young cat mom 10 days ago. She gave birth under the
stairs of the garbage area of our building. It is a covered area, but
the ceiling leaks and it is quite cold.

The next morning, one little kitten was dead. It was in a freezing
night.
I'm trying to construct a shelter with boxes the best I can. I also
bought insulation/warming pad. But my means are limited.- I have to
deal with my 3 cats, 2 of them having health issues (cancer and
allergies).

I rescue cats from time to time, when they are friendly.
She is feral. So I would like to have her spayed and released. But the
kitten could be placed for adoption.
They are probably too young to be separated from the mom. I estimate
them 5 to 6 weeks old. They are already eating the food I put out.
So the best would be to have them in a foster place with the mom
first.

I am emotionnaly under pressure with my cats health problems and
thinking of these little being ouside in the cold stresses me a lot.
That's why I am trying to find some help to rescue them.

We would need a trap and people who know what would be the best way to
do this.

I really hope someone will be able to help me, her and the little
ones!

Thanks!

Patricia
