I found it caught in a loose string wrapped around it’s leg and released it. After a couple days I’ve noticed it’s been chewing through it’s leg, now, and it’s in a lot of pain I’m sure. The mother won’t care for it either.
These cats are wild and I can’t seem to catch all of them before they start reproducing, for the past 2 years I have been spaying and neutering these cats, but more keep showing up.
I live out in the country in the US, and I haven’t been able to get anyone to come take the cats, it’s like I’m just stuck with them. A few of them are outdoor family cats, and we don’t want to lose those.
I don’t know what to do about any of it, I can’t afford another pet bill right now, especially a bill for a kitten needing so much care. Any recommendations are appreciated. I live in KY, United States

And a list of wildlife rescues near Bowling Green, KY. These groups will usually handle animals other than cats and dogs, but tell them you found an injured feral kitten and they might be able to help.
