Mark says: I live at an apartment complex in Alaska and a couple of years ago the manager and I realized that there was a feral female cat that had a litter of kittens behind the complex. We decided to try and capture her and the two surviving kittens before winter and have them fixed. We never have been able to catch her but we did catch the two kittens, one of which I still have and named Cali. The momma kitty has two litters a year, although the winter batch rarely survives. Last winter she had this litter featured on the Daily Kitten today, an orange male and three grey females. They hung out on that stump together and would come out on the sidewalk to eat if big brother thought it safe. The orange male is with the manager now along with this winter's lone survivor. We can't find homes for them all every year and people are being very unresponsible about their pets and it's becoming too much for us to deal with. We now have three generations of the same mother's kittens and she has just given birth again. They are amazing cats but will not be around anyone but the two of us. We would love to catch the momma and have her spayed but she is extremely smart.

Such beautiful babies to be doomed to such a short and stark existence. Bless you for all you're doing to try to help. I wish people could understand how far reaching their irresponsible behaviors extend.

Yes and yes. Thank you for trying to save these ferals. They and their mom are smart, but could be smarter, by accepting your help.

A feral kitten's opinion of rescuers. Hope he made it on his own. Sad story. My heart goes out to this poster's dilemma. Grateful he keeps trying.

Look at this face. This kitten is beautiful and so are its siblings it's such a shame that most of them will die cold and hungry people I wish you'd get smart and spay and neuter your cats
