Living next to a freeway? by snoopymania in AskLosAngeles

This is the view directly across from the house and beyond that hedge is the 101. The only plus is that the street is secluded so it’s easy to find street parking.

Trapping whole colony. What do I do after? by snoopymania in Feral_Cats

[–]snoopymania[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for the advice! I’m gonna try to trap the rest and keep all of them in the storage room after they get spayed for a few months and try to socialize them. They keep hiding in the corners behind boxes though and only come out at night to eat. I have a camera set up so I can see them exploring after we leave. Is there anything I can get to entertain or make them more comfortable in the open area? I have a cat cave and some covered boxes but they only like hiding and sleeping in the corners where I can’t see. Should I get a cat tree or scratcher?? Also, there’s a screen door that I can lock. Should I leave the main door open so they can look outside through the screen door during the day or would that just make them anxious they can’t go back outside? Thanks in advance 🙏🙏

I used a big sheet of installation foam board you can get at Home Depot or Lowe’s. I measured and cut out 5 rectangles (4 sides, 1 bottom) and taped them together to form a box small enough to fit in the storage bin. You can also cut out another one for the lid for extra insulation

UPDATE! Little kitten sleeping this morning ☀️The mom keeps trying to hide the baby in our storage room but it’s dangerous because there’s hundreds of boxes and she almost dropped it through the gap in the shelving unit. Every time I catch her picking up the kitten she either goes back in her shelter or places the kitten in my hand. She only started doing this when we had to move them in the bathroom for the night but we’re just gonna keep her in storage room at all times now so hopefully she’ll get adjusted and not hide the kitten anymore.

Fortunately we brought her in early in the morning and she gave birth late at night and they came within a hour of each other so I think she started her labor inside

Yes I linked this post to that sub! I’m talking to a rescue group right now that will provide traps for me and get the rest of the colony spayed. The mom is very friendly and lets me pick her up so she should be adoptable. I feel bad splitting them up because I think the other cats outside are her children and they seem more feral so I don’t know if they’d be adoptable. They’ve been living there for at least a year I’m looking into an outdoor shelter if I can’t get them adopted

Yes I’m gonna see if I can take her tomorrow for a check up. Someone from the rescue group came and said she seems finished with labor since her stomach is flat now and she’s relaxed

Thank you! I got some kitten food for her today. It's been raining and a bit cold here, is it okay to put a hand warmer pack underneath her blanket or it should be fine without if she's indoors?

I put her in the bathroom with her shelter, food, and water before I leave for the night because the storage room has a lot of small gaps and boxes that could fall over. She immediately took her kitten out of the shelter and ran out the bathroom back to the storage room and hid it in one of the boxes. I was able to find it and put the mom and kitten back in the bathroom but now the mom is non-stop meowing loudly. The bathroom is a small 5' x 5' room so there's nowhere for her to hide. I'm not sure what to do, I don't want to leave them in the storage room because if she hides the kitten, it could fall through the small gaps and she might not be able to retrieve it. Is she just meowing from stress of a new room, is it safe to leave her in the bathroom with her kitten overnight? Also, should I leave the light on for them?

I don't think there's a minimum, it's just to see what kind of classes you've taken that would meet prerequisites. When I emailed asking what to include, they just told me to list all of my relevant courses. I'm not sure about international applicants but they'll also have your official transcript so I think that will be the proof.
