Catch Wild Kittens

To catch a wild or feral kitten, you need to have time and patience. It could take a while before you can capture them, but don't give up!

Steps

 * 1) Assess the situation. Are the kittens with their mother or alone?  Where are they living?  If they are living under a building or other structure, it may be difficult to entice them out.  Try to find all the entrances to their living area. It may help if you have more than one person to help try to catch the kittens.[[Image:Catch Wild Kittens Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 2) Provide them with food. Set it out where they can access it and where you can see it.[[Image:Catch Wild Kittens Step 2.jpg|center]]
 * 3) Observe them to see if they will try to come out and eat the food.[[Image:Catch Wild Kittens Step 3.jpg|center]]
 * 4) If they are hungry and start to come out, stay nearby and keep watching them. If they don't come out, wait and try again later.[[Image:Catch Wild Kittens Step 4.jpg|center]]
 * 5) Once you feel comfortable, try to approach from an angle where they can't see you.[[Image:Catch Wild Kittens Step 5.jpg|center]]
 * 6) When you are close enough and you see a chance to grab the kitten, quickly reach down, either wearing gloves or with a towel, and grab the kitten by the back of the neck.  If you do not have a cat carrier, keep it in a towel until you can get it into a carrier or box.[[Image:Catch Wild Kittens Step 6.jpg|center]]
 * 7) Take the kitten to a vet to have it check for parasites, diseases, and other health issues. Take this time to allow your veterinarian to administer it vaccines to keep the kitten healthy.[[Image:Catch Wild Kittens Step 7.jpg|center]]
