Trish asked:


My animals have all had bad fleas for awhile now.
Once we noticed the fleas, mommy cat got pregnant, and kittens, and after those kittens got done nursing she got pregnant again. Now the flea problem is the worst I’ve ever seen it. Is there any way to get rid of the fleas in the less than one week old babies and their mom? Or do I have to wait until they are done nursing and hope mommy doesn’t get pregnant again?
I forgot to mention, I plan on getting her fixed when this litter is done nuring.

How to help stray cats in my neighborhood?

What can I do to help stray cats? I’m getting married and moving in a month and a half, and I doubt my parents will continue leaving food out (which I am considering doing but I don’t want them to become dependent and then I leave and there is no more food everyday). The only ones I’ve seen recently is a VERY large Tom cat, and a very small female with at least two kittens.

How does one go about trapping cats, especially one that has babies? I’m afraid of losing track of the kittens if the mom gets trapped. Also, where can I find traps, and how much are they to rent/buy? I’m going to try and find an organization that may do this as well, I live in Central NJ if anyone knows of anything. There is an SPCA but I don’t know if they go out and catch animals.

The kittens are VERY tiny but walking/running capable already ~ 4 weeks? I’m thinking they are living close by, hopefully under the porch.
