2 grey kittens and a fluffy white kitten curled up together in a large dog carrier.

Hooray, we have finally trapped all three feral kittens living under the house!

For a while, every time we caught a new kitten and tried to put it in the crate, the one that was already in there would bolt. We lost one of them twice; it was like those bits in Scooby Doo where the guy in the mask is chasing the gang through a long hallway of doors and they run into one door and run out another at random. Someone should have played us some clown music. We finally caught the escapologist crouched right in front of the crate, staring longingly at their siblings and/or their food.

I even petted the white one's fluffy butt and received only death glares, no actual claws, for my affrontery.

Unfortunately, the organization that used to do trap-neuter-release with ferals in our area isn't doing it anymore. Hope we can find someone else.

I hope you can find someone else. They are a lovely bunch of kittens but there are so many kittens in the world already!

Only death glares. You must be considered slightly acceptable!

There is a free spay and neuter clinic December 2nd, which is our fallback plan, but that's a long time to keep them locked up. I would like to find someone who will do it a) sooner than next month, and b) for less than $200 a cat. I had no idea fixing was so pricey.

Yikes. That's pretty pricey.

Have you called your local SPCA and asked if there are any discount spay-neuter options in your area? My shelter has a list we keep by the phone.

Ohhhh super cute.

I regret that I don't have more intelligent commentary there, but, SO CUTE AWWW.
