Kittens/Cats under our crawlspace! What do we do?

[tommygirl79]

Our neighbor girl just came and told me that we have up to 5 cats/kittens living under our crawlspace. We had not heard anything or seen anything. Anyone have any advice on what to do. We don't want to keep any or anything but we aren't sure what to do in order to keep them safe, yet still not end up with a new pet.

Any advice?

That happened to use once...a few years ago we found a mother cat & 4 kittens (about 4 weeks old) living in our front bushes. My next door neighbor is a veterinarian...she took them to her office & homes were found for them....all except one...something had seemed quite wrong with him...well, he didn't make it & she did an autopsy & discovered something was very wrong with his liver. Poor little thing...I was quite upset.

You might try and see if you can coax one or all of them out from under there so that you can get a look at them. Maybe you can see if they look healthy, well fed etc.

If they are friendly you could maybe capture them and take them to a local shelter or contact a vet who might take them in

Well, if it were me, since I have no idea how to care for pets at all, I would probably call animal control since they are better equiped to make sure they are safe and healthy.

Call your local ASPCA or animal rescue. They have "have a heart traps" to cathch the kittens with out hurting them.

If you end up trying to find homes for them, I'm a cat lover and a neighbor
