UPDATE!! I can't believe what i witnessed last night (NWR)

Original post by JTsGal829

so not a lot of you know this but i do TNRs ( trap neuter return) with my godmother for the local kitty cats.. For those who aren't farmiliar with the practice.. rather than the stray and feral kitties who can't be placed in homes producing more kittens or god forbid being put down.. by Trapping them, fixing them and returning them to thier colony where they are fed and taken care of it protects prevents more homeless kittens from being born among many other things. Well last night we were in my Godmothers yard trying to trap her last 2 cats who haven't been fixed yet.. To my surprise as i was standing there waiting for everyone in the yard.. i heard a sad little cry.. very faint but there. I assumed the female had kittens earlier elsewhere and they were calling to her. But sure enough... i looked in front of me not 5 feet away and there was this tiny newborn kitten. She gave birth right there and she didn't even look pregnant so it was a total shock. There was just one kitty. Unfortunately, the mama didn't seem to know what to do with the baby, so we were forced to take the kitten to give it a fighting chance. By this point the cry was faint but still there. We were able to find someone who could feed it for the night and possibly find a nursing mother .. but we weren't sure if it would make it through the night. I am waiting to hear about the status of the kitten this morning.. and i have been praying for the little guy.. and if everyone could pray for him too that would be wonderful. If he makes it we hope to find the little guy a home.. so please send out your warm wishes for the sweet little guy or girl.. !!!! i hope to hear good news about him soon!

UPDATE!!! just got the email that the little guy/girl made it through the night.. pushing his little paws and eating like a champ. I think today they are bringing him to a nursing mother.. so it seems he will have a shot!!! i am so happy.. thank you all so much for your prayers and kind words.. i will be sure to keep you updated on his/her status!!!!

Oh i am so glad to hear the little one made it and is eating well. Kittens that young are alot of work.. Is your godmother with a rescue?

Where abouts do you guys trap? My friend traps over in Ronkonkoma, shes been caring for this colony over there for years. Shes even named all the raccoons there too lol.

you're not kidding with the racoons.. they love the shelters and the cat food...lol.. they def. make themselves a part of the colony. We trap in brooklyn. She isn't with any specific rescue but we do know a few people who work with the BARC center in williamsburg and also her friend who is a very big help and has many colonies that she feeds has a few contacts at bid-a-wee i believe!!! But mostly everyone does it just voluntarily
