I need cat rescue advice. [View all]

On my way home this evening from my office, I saw a little yellow kitten at a neighboring office.

I went back with a cat carrier and a can of kitten food. When I got back, I found the kitten and his momma. Momma has a collar, so she at least has had a home at some point.

I put out the food as bait. They both ate but I couldn't get close enough to touch either. I got within a foot or so of momma but the kitten was much more leery. (I'm not going to take momma home without the kitten. I'm not keen on taking the kitten without the momma.)

I don't think a trap is a good idea because I'm afraid I will catch one but not the other. I'm keeping the carrier in my truck along with more food. I'll see if they are still there tomorrow.

Any tips would be appreciated.

I'm cross-posting an earlier post to the Lounge.
