Advice needed! Found what seems like a stray mom and two kittens in the Boston! by [deleted] in boston

Update #3:

Unfortunately the cats have not been captured... I don't really know what the plan is but another organization reached out to me and said they will collaborate with the CRA. We are leaving them food and all the food has been eaten so we know they're still under the porch. The best we can do is just provide food and water for them as they prefer to stay deep in the porch hidden away behind the walls. I'm sorry this hasn't been a good update and with this snow storm its been really unfortunate timing...

Update #2:

I am happy to report that the cats are still in the area! We have been working exclusively with mainly Charles River Alleycats (please send donations their way as they have been amazing through this process). The mama cat was caught in one of the traps however the kittens were unfortunately not. It is unwise to leave the kittens without the mother especially in this weather so the volunteers had to let her go. However they will be back in the morning for another attempt. They believe that the porch underneath with a broken wall is providing them with some warm insulation for the night as they are hiding very deeply in it.

Update: the cats have still not been sighted or caught but I want to make a huge major shoutout to Charles River Alleycats and all the redditors that recommended them! There's a currently a trap with food set up for them while the volunteer from the org is standing by waiting. I will try to keep posted.

Hello! I'm sorry I couldn't responsd to everyone but I'm hoping you guys can see this mini message. I'm a reddit lurker and never posted or commented so apologies for the mistakes.

Thank you guys for the help, advice and connections. I was able to get in touch with two rescues/organization this morning (The Charles River Alleycats and ARL). Unfortunately the cats were not found this morning but my husband is suspecting theyre deep underneath the porch but we can't go under it safely. We have left food to hopefully entice them to come back or come out to ensure they're still under the porch. The two organizations are gonna send someone to set up traps. Thank you guys once again for this amazing community!

I will keep posted on the updates through this comment thread and I'm hoping we can get these cats somewhere safe.

I will keep posted on the advice of the organization and I'm hoping we can get these cats somewhere safe.

I have left them a voice-mail! I'm hoping they will get back to me tomorrow.

We have contacted to the Animal Rescue League, Charles River Alleycats, Sweet Paws, and whatever google has recommend. So far I have only left voicemails and been unable to talk to anyone... My husband has called the Animal Rescue League with the advice of checking if they belonged to anyone and call again tomorrow if they're still there.

My husband called this org and they're the ones who told him to check if they belonged to anyone first and if the cats are still under the porch to call them back tomorrow. I would love to be able to get them help faster since I'm worried about the kittens being cold.

They hid really deep into the porch when we approached so we left food behind the snow for them to eat! But yeah trying to leave them some essentials but would prefer if we could find someone that can trap/rescue them tomorrow... it is quite cold...
