We haven't seen any major neurological issues in these 3 but time will tell. We aren't sure if mom is making any milk, but either way the babies aren't interested in nursing. Mom had separated the babies that passed from the rest of the litter multiple times throughout the day and night... she...

Unfortunately we've lost 4 kittens in the past 2 days. We're realizing there are some neurological issues (lots of tremors) with this litter so it isn't surprising, but still heartbreaking. The remaining three are grumpy and fussy but strong. This litter just isn't syringe feeding well so we...

Mom was given a C section because her body wasn’t doing anything to prepare for labor and it was getting dangerous for her! Her breathing was regularly elevated and she wasn’t putting on the weight she needed to after being a stray. Mom is on pain meds and doing well. I’m currently using petAg...

We have babies! Mom gave birth via C section today around noon. She had 9 babies in her with 7 surviving. The vet thinks mom conceived the other two later and it threw her body off from knowing when to deliver. After several hours of ignoring the babies, mom is cuddling and cleaning but doesn’t...

I wanted to update everyone that we still don’t have kittens! My rescue wants to bring her into the vet if she doesn’t have them by midweek just to check that everything is okay. Judging by her size when she was brought to me, she’s likely entering her tenth week of pregnancy soon.

Well friends, it looks like we got tricked! No babies yet. I think the previous "labor" was braxton hicks contractions. Any idea of when to get concerned? This girl is HUGE!

More Updates! She rested well last night and was very hungry for breakfast. Unfortunately she's started nesting in her litter box, so hopefully I can prevent delivery in there. She's resting again today, lots of laying on her side and trying to sleep.

Looks like labor has begun this evening. My girl (her name is Sprinkles, by the way! A little girl found her :)) has been antsy this evening, looking around for a good spot and thwaping her tail. When I went to check on her, her breathing was super rapid. She’s resting now but I think we’ll have...

Update for today! No babies yet but I’m suspicious that she’s dropped. This is her belly today: which looks much less rounded than yesterday (as seen in my original post). Fingers crossed we meet her kittens soon!

Hi! I’m fostering a pregnant cat for my local rescue. She came to us as a stray that someone found and looked very pregnant when I took her in on July 18th - pic below. She came to me with a large belly and swollen pink nipples. She warmed up immediately and wants constant attention. The first...
