How to help stray cats in my neighborhood?

subarugirl06 asked:


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.

    You don’t want to trap them cause you could hurt them. You should take them to a animal shelter where they can find a loving family.
