Question about Feral Cats

06-30-2006, 02:35 PM

I know I'm posting in the wrong place but I'm thinking I'll get a better response here. I have been feeding this cat that hangs around the barn for several years now. Recently she brought her kittens with her and one of them has this huge lump on the side of it's face, no fur growing on it and it's really sore looking. Yesterday it looked gangrenous. They're all feral cats but the mother cat lets me pet her; the kittens run as soon as I open the door. There are a lot of animal lovers on this forum any ideas on what can be done to help this kitten out? Thanks.

Get a trap, catch it, and take it to the vet.

Where are you located? How old do you think the kitten is?

The wound is probably loaded with maggots by this point.
