That is so sad. I have a male cat where I do think the people moved on him. He don't know where to go and he is sad, and cant believe the hunger pains. I feed him outside I don't know he will make it through the summer.

Get info on the previous residents and call them or just keep the kitty

Oh that's so sad Maybe you could post on Facebook or call the Humane Society in your area and see about getting them some help to find a family who will take them in and keep them good luck

I have worked with stray cats for over 14 years.

Provide them with food and water although the babies may still be feeding on mama cat. If so, mama needs to keep up her strength. If you can elevate the bowls to keep out ants, that would be good. I would put out food around the time you usually see them. If you do it at night, other animals may get to the food, so watch from a distance or through a window.

If the kittens are really young, they are easily socialized but you may want to contact local animal groups to help you with this. If the cats get to know you, it's likely that they will get socialized naturally.

If you can call a local animal group, they may be able to come out and humanely trap all of them (this will not not harm them). The mama can then be spayed to prevent further pregnancies, and when the kittens are old enough, they can be altered as well. Depending upon how wild each cat is, they can either be adopted or put back out where you found them but be sure to get them altered.

If you end up taking them to a shelter, be sure it is a "no kill" shelter.

Unfortunately, this is not an unusual situation. This is why it is so important to spay/neuter your pets (especially if you let them outside).

Hope this helps.

Our pet cat was a rescue cat.  She is a solid black cat so we named her Elvira.  A friend rescued her from the street.  She is missing half of one ear and has a patch of missing fur from the ear to the eye.  Our friend took her to the vet and we fell in love with her so she has come to make her new forever home here with us.  We love our fur baby and she is curled up in the recliner sleeping all cozy and comfy.

Can you bring him inside to live with you? If not, try to provide him with a cool place to go from the heat. If he won't let you close to him, do not force it.

Be sure to feed him twice a day and provide clean water. If he appears to be sick, call a  an animal group who may be able to help him.

Often, too many people just watch them and do nothing.

HotKentuckyMama:

Is it her left ear that is snipped off? If so, she is what we call an "ear-tip kitty"  which means she was trapped, spayed, and put back out at some point.

If it is not the left ear, probably just an injury.

That's too bad. Take them to a shelter.

I have a mama and 2 kittens that grew up already from way back and they are still in my front yard.

If you are feeding him then he will make it fine. Long as he has food and water. I doubt he is sad.
