Have a question about a cat.

I have adopted a stray in our neighborhood. Unfortunately, this stray has a twin brother who is not so nice, and a sister who is pregnant. She is bloated but not being experienced, I can’t tell how far along she is. I want to capture her and keep her in a cage so that she can have food and water, and a safe place to have her kitten. She would have to stay outside because I’m allergic. The cage that I have is a rabbit cage. Should I trap her or not?

I wouldn’t - cats don’t understand cages. IMO, befriend her, give her someplace safe and warm to have the kittens, and after they’re about 6-8 weeks old, trap, neuter, and release the family.

Also, call a local animal rescue group in your area and see if they have any suggestions. They might also be able to help with the TNR.
