Need help rescuing/relocating a mother cat + 4 kittens from my house — Kukatpally, Hyderabad
Hi everyone, I’m looking for help from someone experienced with cats/rescue work in Hyderabad.
Around 1½ weeks ago, a community/stray cat gave birth to four kittens inside the wardrobe of one of the rooms in my house.
I have been allowing them to stay there and have been providing the mother with food and water. The kittens are healthy and nursing, and the mother is taking good care of them.
I had never planned on keeping cats, and unfortunately I cannot keep this arrangement permanently. I also have to leave this coming Monday for around 10 days and there is nobody who can take responsibility for them while I'm away.
So I am looking for someone who can help me relocate/rescue this entire family — the mother and all four kittens — from the wardrobe and take them to a safe shelter/rescue facility, or arrange permanent adoption for the kittens/mother.
I do not want to separate the kittens from their mother, especially while they are this young. Ideally, I would like someone experienced with community cats to come, assess the situation, and help safely move the entire family together.
The mother is somewhat protective of the kittens, so I don't want to attempt this myself and risk frightening her or accidentally causing her to abandon/move the kittens somewhere unsafe.
I'm happy to cooperate with the relocation and provide whatever information/photos are needed. I can also provide food for them until a proper arrangement is made.
Location: Kukatpally, Hyderabad
If you are involved with a cat rescue, shelter, adoption network, or community-cat group, or know someone who can help with this, please comment or DM me.
I am specifically looking for a permanent rescue/adoption/shelter solution rather than someone to temporarily foster them for the 10 days I'm away.
