Addendum to kittens:
At some point last night she moved them underneath some old junk.
No idea how we're going to get them out. Since she's moved them once I don't want her to move them deeper in (or, god help me, underneath) where I'm going to need a forklift to retrieve them. We're lying in wait for her to get up to stretch her legs so we can cage her and collect the kittens to bring them home, where there is a little nursery waiting for them.
Edit, the bright side is, she's so doped up on endorphins that she's letting me pet her, scratch her ears and under her chin, plus move her kids around when one gets separated. Originally we were going to bring them into the Humane Society; the first person I spoke to said they'd be kept together for six weeks, then the kittens adopted out and 'Tini returned to us. The kennel supervisor called at 5:30 to say, no, we're going to euthanize all of them -- they don't have the resources to care for a feral family and socialize them toward adoptability and a brighter future than living in my shop. So we're going to try.
Edit, a video said to keep them very warm for the first few days. The heat's been jacked for 24 hours and it's so effing hot in here I might faint.
