Oh, Dear

There are kittens in my garage. Unweaned kittens. Blind kittens. At least two of them.

They're crying.

Thinking back, I believe I surprised mamma cat in the garage a time or two, but didn't realize what she was doing there. Now I know.

They're crying.

I'm considering trying to feed them, but what they really need is mamma - and each time I go out there, I probably delay her return.

I don't know what to do. I don't know how much time I have to make up my mind, either.

Later: I called the Humane Society and got no answer. My vet told me that it's very unusual for the mother cat to leave its kittens like this. The kittens would need to be bottle-fed about every two hours, and there's no way I can do that. I have to leave for work soon.

If the mother doesn't come back, the kittens are going to die. There's nothing I can do.

Dammit.

As far as I can tell, she's been getting in and out through the outer doggie door, so access isn't a problem. (The dogs can't get to the place where the kittens are. Later on, when the time comes for them to leave, it may be a bit more of a problem...)
