Good Squee News! The little tortie kitten Katie is keeping her left eye...
This sh**ty photo is the best I have of her...I really need a new camera. Took her to the vet today...she had really bad URI and a corneal ulcer when I found here almost 4 weeks ago...lots of meds and topical meds and the eye started looking better and the URI finally cleared up...the eye is almost as good as new, so just using a topical solution for a while...even when it was swollen and inflamed, it seemed as if she could see out of it fine. Anyway, she and Carreen, the calico who was really sick before I found Katie, both went to the vet's today, and both are mad at me. Katie has doubled her weight, and Carreen has put on a pound and a half...good news all around!

When I first found her, I must have been the first human she'd ever seen...and still she came right up to me. 
But good news!
Extra squee! 
They said it was so smelly and irresistible it lured even the most wiley cat. I tried it but had better luck with dry food. I also found that instead of covering the whole trap, putting it in an out of the way place and a towel just over the long side with the two short sides (opening and back gate) exposed was the most effective in getting them to come. The org said cover the whole thing, but they wouldn't go in if it looked like there was no escape route. It was also really helpful to have feeding time on a strict schedule so it taught the cats to come at a certain time. That way the trap was there when they were the most hungry. But there was one older male that took so much work so I know what you mean. The kittens were the easiest and sometimes would go two at a time into the trap. But the older ones have well-honed instincts so they are the hardest. But catching the breeding female will help slow things down.
I know you have lots of experience though, just passing on my experience
You are so awesome to take care of them so well! Lucky kitties!
I'm glad they're both healthy!
Thanks for sharing!!
