My feral cat which I tamed, has had kittens somewhere in the woods, and I would like to know how to find where she keeps them. I have tried alot of things to find them, but no luck.
I don't want them to turn out wild and reproduce.

Don't worry, when the kittens are older she probably will bring them to you. Right now she's very protective of them and won't let you find them. She was feral you know. She should bring them around when they are a few weeks old and probably towards the end of her nursing them, so be prepared to scoop them up and take them in and have them neutered (along with her so she won't have another litter). Good luck.

Well if you have the time you would have to watch the cat carefully and follow her when she goes out wandering around. If the kittens are still alive she will not stay away from them for long intervals. They must be fed often if they are only weeks old. If she is a good mother she will not leave them alone for long, so my advice would be to follow her around, but you will have to be careful because she probably does not want you to find them, she is probably afraid you will harm them.. If she would have completely trust you she would have had them nearer to home. She must still be leery of you. All I can say is listen for meows and follow the cat... Good luck. Hope the kittens are alright and healthy...

How did that happen?
I've caught a few feral cats, some I was able to tame, others not. But the tamed ones remained indoors and except for a few quirks were as loving as the rest of kitties,... but suspicious and leery of others.
Did you not provide indoor bedding for her in a secluded place?
Not sure what your area's like, but chances are she's kept them close to home,.. perhaps not in the vast woods.
Look closer,... under crawlspace, shed, etc. (a structure).
AND PLEASE have her spayed BEFORE her next heat, please.

if i were you,i will follow the cat..it must feed her kitties,so you should follow her...
or maybe you can put a collar with a bell,cause if you can't follow her,you can hear her bell ringing...and maybe you will find them..
how old are the kittens?..if they are 5/8weeks,they can eat,you can putt a bowl of food where you think the kittens is..I'm sure that they will go to the bowl if they hungry..
hope these help =)

The mum may go back to feed them.
I would follow her with a cage and when she has fed them quietly go and pick them up and take them home.
Put them in box some where warm and show them to the mum.
Don't be surprised if mum tries to take them outside, it might be an idea to keep her inside with them for awhile.
Good luck :)

This might sound silly, but put a collar around her neck with a bell or something you can hear where she is, if you are able to do that. The sound could lead you right to her kittens.
