You should let them tnr. They release back to the same area. You can request they are brought back to your spot. That baby needs fixed and the mom, before more babies pop up.

Please de mum cat and kittens prior to rehoming. 🙏 Too many beautiful kittens and cats, not enough good, responsible, caring, stable homes. 1000's put down each year. 😞

Google how to tame a (frightened, traumatized) feral cat / kitten ... After vet checking, neutering, de-fleaing, etc, best keep cat / kitten in a dog crate, with a cosy cat bed, litter tray and heavy food / water bowls. Sheet covering most of cage to help cat feel safe and secure. Once a bit relaxed (after a couple of days), use a stick / piece of dowell about 1 metre long, with a toothbrush, or small hairbrush, attached, through cage bars. Gently stroke cat around neck, jowls, shoulders, head and face with brush. Cat might at first go berserk, attack the stick / brush, but will soon calm down, relax, enjoy, even purr! Eventually (usually within a few days, or a week or so), gradually move your hand down the piece of stick / dowell, until it's your fingers gently stroking the cat. Once the cat enjoys your stroking hands / gentle scratches, move hands gradually to other parts of its body. Gently try pick up ... Another relaxed cat or two in the same room, is reassuring to the new cat. Eventually, you can leave open the cage door, allow it to emerge when ready, to explore the room. Keep all doors locked, with a spray bottle at each door. Also, windows / sliders restricted with dowell to not open beyond about 3cm. Most cats need to be locked in for 3+'weeks to bond to a new home, otherwise sooner or later might try head back to previous territory. Most cats are escape artists until bonded to new home! (eg breaking through mosquito netting and forcing sliding doors / windows open). Be extra vigilant! With enough patience, I have tamed even the most hissiest, spiti-est, scariest, claw-swiping, big feral bush cats using this method. Very rewarding to end up with cuddly, grateful, laid-back, content tame cats 💕

Probably her kitten, likely others hidden nearby. (See if lactating: pink, protruding, balding s). If so, please search thoroughly first (eg every inch under buildings, log pikes, between fences, etc). If unsure sign of where the kittens are ... discretely watch / follow where she goes. When she's distracted eating, search in the direction she went ... Scoop any tiny kittens up into a carrier, keep close to, or with Mum cat. Bigger kittens might need trapping ... Google how. Or involve a cat rescue with a good reputation. Also, door knock, ensure proof of ownership, etc ... Thanks for caring 🙏

Ideally, please involve a rehoming group with a good reputation. If re-homing / cat welfare groups are over-run, see guidelines below to help ensure a safe and successful transition into a new home. Sadly, there are cat hating, heartless sociopaths / psychopaths and "rescue groups" trawling these sites, with intent to harm / torture / cats, inc to use as bait for dog fighting, fishing and snakes food, etc. 😞 (They pretend to be caring and / or even send their well-presenting wives / children to collect). :-( Or others who are too unstable / careless / irresponsible. 😞 Or those who sell on (particularly extra beautiful or pedigree pets) to make a profit, not discerning re new safe and responsible owners 😞 Be suious of new, or locked, Facebook profiles. Or often seeking new pets. Visit any potential new home to vet for hazards. (eg vicious dogs, busy roads, toxins, snakes, ticks, excessive noise / smoke, aggressive adults / children, high -rise without safety netting around balcony, etc). Check the home address you visit matches their licence & bills address. (A responsible, caring person will understand why you need to do this). If the potential new owner isn't willing to allow you to see their home, red flag! Ask what happened to previous cat /s or dogs. (Good indicator of a safe, stable, happy home: the cat lived to an old age 18+ until it needed to be humanely put down by the vet. Confirm with vet. Red flag: last 3 cats ed on the road / attacked by dogs / disappeared ...) 😞 Attain independent evidence (inc vet references), that the new owner is a genuine, responsible, caring and stable cat lover. Match vet references with licence address. Call / visit the vet to ensure the reference is genuine. (Ideally known to the vet over a long period of time). Prioritize responsible owners who keep cats indoors and / or in a very secure cat enclosure. (Safer for cats and wildlife. Research confirms indoor cats live an average of 10+ years longer than free roaming ones). If a person is unwilling, or unable to afford to pay for a cat, they may be unwilling or unable to afford to pay for good food and vet bills. Most important: Cats must be locked in for 3+ weeks (preferably forever), with butter on their paws, to bond to a new home. Otherwise sooner or later will likely try to head back to your place (and might become hopelessly lost / injured / ed. Most cats are escape artists until bonded to new home (eg breaking through mosquito netting and forcing sliding doors / windows open). New owner must be extra vigilant! Introducing new cats to other cats is easiest if they are kept in a dog crate / cage (with pet bed, litter tray & heavy food bowls), for a week or two. Until they safely get to know / accept each other through cage bars. If possible, offer a trial period of a few weeks, which allows the new owner to return the cat/s. Keep cat/s microchipped in your name, until happily settled into the new home. (Request follow-up photos for peace of mind). Request a photo from time to time, to ensure all is okay. Also, please request to let you know if your cat happens to escape, or if there is any problem / change in circumstances, which may require your cat to be re-homed again. All the best 🙏
