Answer 1

Some food and a saucer of milk, then lie in wait, next some netting around the base of the shed so it stays out.

Answer 2

Be careful -- they may be feral cats, which means that the momma isn't at all domesticated. If that's the case, she has no experience with humans and probably will be very frightened if you try to handle her or her kittens. She could bite or scratch you, and cat bites can be very dangerous and prone to infection. I know it's hard to think of the SPCA as a good place knowing that they euthanize animals, but I really think that it's the best place for these kittens. (Even if the mother is feral, they can usually still be adopted.) Truly, there are people there who are animal experts and have had this experience many times and will know what to do. Also, kittens are usually snatched up by adopters. Adult cats have a harder time getting adopted. If these kittens are placed for adoption while they're still young, they have an excellent chance of finding a good home. Personally, I think that that is a better choice for them than sending them to a farm where they may or may not receive enough attention, love, and vet care. I know this situation just kind of fell into your lap, but it's really great to know that you are taking responsibility for it! (Oh! Also, tuna isn't actually good for kitties. If it seems like the momma is managing enough food for herself and they're not hungry, I'd leave it alone. If you have your heart set on catching them yourself, I would try some wet cat food. Buying just one can is very cheap.)

Answer 3

LOL - been there done that, when my dopey British short hair (see avatar) went walk-about for a whole month!!!

He refused to come out for food, and was settled in there very comfortably. In the end, kind neighbour let me in his garden, the other side from where I could see him, and got neighbour to stand by as "catcher" while I poked long-handled broom in from the other side. Tadaaa!

Now he is micro-chipped, got collar with name tag and phone number (my number, not his) and just in case he goes "walkabout" again, a Loc8tor radio tag, which only has a range of 50 yards, but has found him successfully several times now. Once you have her indoors, keep her locked in for a solid month - I know that will be a pain in the a*se, but trust me, it helps her learn where she lives.

PS - if you cannot reach her with a long-handled broom, then try a leaf-blower or (last resort) a CO2 fire extinguisher (honestly)

Answer 4

She'll eventually get hungry so you could leave food outside of the shed. Gently poking her with a stick or something might help or nudging her. She may be resting under their or hiding for something too. She should come out.

Answer 5

Do you have any of the whiskas treats in the cat head box if so rattle that and it should come out. or any wafer thin meat. good luck hope she comes out soon.
