CANT FIND KITTENS!! HELP

[Ellaoreospice]

I think following the mother and hoping they are still together are your best bet. If you haven't been handling them the whole time, they're feral and you aren't going to catch them without a trap.

I've tried following her but she always brings us to the same place and the kittens are no where near

At 10 weeks old they are weaned and off having cat adventures. You'll probably see individual ones around the neighborhood but cats don't stick together like dogs. If they are people friendly you can try to trap them to find them new homes or get them fixed so they aren't having babies all over.

I'm going to try and relocate them to my house and get them used to people. Then I'm going to give one of them to my auntie. My plan is after I find them is to feed them at my house to get them used to feeding and people

I have lots of experience with barn kitties, inside cats, and feral kitties. If they are gone, they're gone. There's no catching and taming 10 week old feral cats. Sorry. You're better off catching the mother and spaying her. If you have outdoor kittens again, start messing with them from the start so they'll be adoptable. There's a window of opportunity with kittens and that's in the first 8 weeks, the younger the better. Feral cats might eat from your porch but they'd sooner scratch you up than get pet. (There's always exceptions just before anyone tells me I'm wrong and so and so's best friend tamed a 10 year old feral cat). I'm not trying to be mean, just don't want you to stress yourself.

Or I might let her have more kittens and keep one then give the other to the family but I'll prob spay her

My cat was 3 when we started to get her used to humans but she was extremely feral and I thought if the kittens saw their mother being nice to a person they would be more confident around people

I was able to tame feral cats when I was growing up on a prune orchard. It involves a lot of time and treats for them.

Like days of it! It takes a lot of patience but can be done
