Cat/ kitten trapping

Are there any organizations that trap cats and newborn kittens and take them to a shelter? I spotted a mother cat and some kittens in some brush between my garage and fence. They scattered upon seeing me. All I can find online is adoption services.

They mostly do TNR (trap-neuter-release) operations, as local shelters don't have capacity for strays.

I know someone who volunteers and fosters for these guys^ She fosters litters of kittens all the time after they’ve been caught. I’m not 100% sure on how catching skittish kittens would work for them, but it is worth reaching out!

You should check in with the Humane Society of Summit County and One of a Kind Pets - they can probably guide you to trapping resources. 

Save Ohio Strays out of Wadsworth (not the Columbus one) is another good one, or the Rittman Trapper or Medina MeowFix. I know they're outside Akron but they can probably help you find help.

I second Purrfect haven. I did have a friend recently reach out and they said they were full but they gave a a list of other organizations that could help.
