@sarthur2 I live near Jennings, La. I work in Lafayette. It's about 40 miles from my home. I'll have to look up spay nation to see where it is. Thank you. My vet charges about $85. That's still a lot lower than the big city vets. But at almost $100 a cat it's not very often I can bring one in.
sarthur2, We hope to. She's such a sweet cat. I wish I could let her stay inside. She deserves it. But the house is small and we have 6 old and young adults. And now 7 kittens of various ages. This mommy has disappeared again. I haven't seen her in the last 2 weeks. She'll show up later pregnant...
sarthur2.....My cat mommy deserves an award! There's a mom that comes from down the street. The man died & no one lives there. She comes to my house to bring her litters when they're about 5 weeks old. And she's usually pregnant again. We haven't been able to get her when she's not nursing or...
Commanderscott, Thank you so much for the kind words. My husband complains about how much I spend on cat food. But I cannot leave those poor cats hungry. Some do hunt. Lizards, frogs, field mice. I'd love a huge building to put crates for all of them to sleep in and be safe. Though I'm sure...
Commanderscott, Sarthur2, Thanks for advice and comments. I've been meaning to get back for an update. We've been distracted by the flooding, though things are starting to get back to normal. I can drive out to get to work thankfully. No mail. No UPS. No trash pickup. But the water is down. My...
Sarthur2 Stevie is spending much more time with her baby. It's going better since I don't allow her to play all day with Sweet Pea. Little Girl has given birth to 4 babies. She is a Tortoiseshell so I hope at least one of her babies will be too. They all look black now. Black must be a dominant...
Saturday 2, thanks. I think Stevie is in heat. Is that possible one week after giving birth? She keeps trying to run out the door. I took the baby a while last night. Stevie was calling for her all over the house. I showed her the baby so she tool baby and put her back. Then started playing with...
I have found the kitten!If Stevie saw me watching her she would not go to the kitten. I found the baby and it seems to have put on weight. I was so afraid that Stevie no longer had milk because I hadn't been here to observe if she had nursed the kitten. The kitten looks healthy. Stevie wants her...
M Cherry....yes I guess it is confusing. Stevie is the new mom. Little Girl is the pregnant one. This will be her second litter. She adopted Stevie as her own with her 1st litter. She was a great mom. Stevie's mom...not so great. So Little Girl keeps swiping the baby. I separated them because I...
My daughter has a 10 month old kitten who just gave birth to one kitten. She had let her play outside with her,then lost track of her. She didn't appear for 3 days. We didn't realize she was pregnant because she is so chubby. She appeared in the living room with a kitten in her mouth. We fixed a...
