3 kittens outside, help Anonymous
/an/, I found three kittens outside by the edge of the forest this afternoon and I'd like to be able to shelter them until I can give them to animal control or a shelter or something (maybe I'll keep one, I'm still undecided). I left some water and bread out there (which they are eating) but whenever I go near them they run into a pile of fallen trees/branches so I can't get to them.

Is there any way I can coax them into assurance of my presence so I can get them out of the open? I live in the middle of PA so I don't think they will last too long outside.

The first time I was getting these stray kittens to come to me I used cheese Doritos. Worked like a charm.

Just bring some milk with you. Kittens love milk.

They love both.

Just not so much the diarrhea.

All cats are lactose intolerant. They do not have the correct enzyme in their gut (lactase) to break down the cow milk sugar. It will give them the runs.

When a cat is young, it can drink cow milk with little problems of having diarrhea. But a few sips just to lure won't kill it.

>> shelter them until I can give them to animal control
Soo... you want to shelter them for an hour or so? Get animal contol on the phone and that's about as long as you have to wait. The sooner you do it the sooner they can be properly taken care of and not subjected to doritos and cow's milk.

Animal control isn't going to be able to get them if I can't get them...

What the hell, yes they can! Besides the fact that they've been trained to catch animals, they also have catch poles and live traps and such.

got 4 more outside I need to catch still.

Either leave the fucking cats alone or bring them into your home and keep them as pets.

Get some delicious canned food or even canned tuna
If you don't see them try calling them out or if they're in sight and notice the food and are coming over set the food down and sit a couple of feet away from it -- I've done this with three cats They should still come to the food if you are already there
If you really want to get them in asap bring someone with you so you can grab them while they're eating

I'd say she was doing a good deed if she took the cats in, had them spayed/neutered and kept them until she found good homes for them fully understanding that she may very well end up adopting the whole lot.
That's a good deed.
Throwing them away to animal control is a death sentence.

Better to kill this generation than let them grow up and produce a hundred more kittens that will have to be killed.
But where I live the humane society will neuter and vaccinate a feral cat for $35, so if you're not too much of a cheapskate to save a kitten then you could see if they'll do this in your area. Then if you don't want to keep them you can simply return them to some dumpster-rich locale, maybe not an ideal solution but probably better for the conscience than euthanasia.
