how to lure kittens from their underground nest?
I am new in this group and last week for the first time in my life I rescued
a cat using a trap. She/he was an app. 16-week old kitten and used to live around the graduate apartment complex of Lehigh University,PA. She/he is already in a no-kill shelter. This week I was supposed to trap the mum and bring her to the same place. But I found out that mum gave birth again. The kittens have their eyes open and they walk but their legs are still weak. Fortunately, the shelter agreed to take them all. The problem is that I can't get the kittens! Their nest is a ground den, probably confiscated from a groundhog. Unless they come out, there is no way for me to grab them from their nest. I can't even see them when they go deep inside the den. And they only come out, when their mummy calls for them. Does anyone know of a method on how to lure kittens? I cannot afford to wait until they get older as the university told me that they will trap the cat(mum) themselves if I don't manage to do so soon. Just now, they don't know about the kittens. I'm afraid that they will contact animal control, have the mum put asleep. Is it legal to euthanize a nursing cat in the US? If yes, is it still legal when you can't locate the kittens? Thanks for your help Ozdesh |
