Thanks Kitty Litter and Bare- Unfortunately I went to feed them last night and there are TEN. 7 tiny ones and 3 teenage ones. I will call SPCA but if they don't take them I think I will have to TNR them. There are some people still leaving food there-if you read this and you are one of them, please use the bowls there. If you leave cans someone will get mad at the trash and cause problems for us. Thanks!

I'm sure some of you read my other post regarding this: I am working with Pet Lover's Rescue and I trapped one kitten so far. They were able to hold it and cuddle it! It has been to the vet and is now in a foster home and will then be adopted! Trapping again this weekend and on and on until all kittens are gone. Then the unadoptable will go to a farm. Personally I think the kittens are adoptable only because kind people feed them and they become familiar with humans. They are estimated to be more than 12 weeks which is usually the cut off for socializing feral kittens so I can only think that they somewhat trust people after seeing food being placed by them and being talked to. Thank you to everyone who has responded to these posts, everyone who has taken time to feed a feral cat and thank you to Pet Lover's rescue, and Bare, Kitty Litter, Duffy's Mom and CFrance for helping me not only this year, but last!

I have three cats all feral when born, Only Rocky My Bengal mutt is a little wary of people he doesn't know..

Have you contacted horse farms in the area and in Ocala? Barns are usually welcome places for cats. Keeps the mouse population down.

Beautiful. And a few of my non feral cats down through the years were leery of strangers too. So not too unusual. Feral kittens can become loving pets.
