I've never had to nurse too many kittens. I've only  done so now with 3 litters so I don't have as much experience however I do know someone who does that may be able to help. This is their website and their email is at the bottom of that page. http://www.safehavenforcats.com/newborn.htm I...

Haha... well let's see... -cough- I have 6 cats and 2 horses/dogs. I only started out with my two mainecoons when I moved in with my husband about 6-7 years ago. My husband wanted this pitbull puppy a friend of mine had . The puppy was being severely abused by my friends husband. They left him...

Im honestly not sure about the discharge but I do know that its from the ' mucus plug holding the cervix closed has come away '. I would call a vet and explain the situation to them. With my vet if I have a problem all I have to do is call and ask and they will tell me what to do. I don't always...

I don't mean to double post but I don't know how to edit my first post? I wanted to include a picture of a box that I made for my kittens/mother.

Do you have a dog cage? Perhaps a carrier? Even a large box will work She is moving them because she doesn't feel safe in that room. What I would do is put her and the kittens in the dog cage, carrier or box. If it's a box I would tape it shut but cut a little door in the side. After you make...

Ugh, I am so so sorry! I know how you are feeling. I also lost a little one about 2 weeks ago. I only had him for a day but it's insane how attached and how much love you can have for something that you've only known for a short while. I blame myself for his death but only because it was. His...

Pretty much. They will eventually get use to each other. A good way to help is keep them in separate rooms but have the rooms next to each other with the door closed so that they can sniff each other and get use to their presence/scent. I would do this for a couple of days and then slowly start...

First, here is a great site that may help. http://www.safehavenforcats.com/newborn.htm Second, are you feeding her kitten food instead of adult food? Doing this can help maintain her weight and include the nutrients the kittens need for her milk. Now with the bottle some take to them right...

Yes, I'm working on getting them spayed right now. I live out in the boondocks so we only have one good vet IMO. The other one only cares about money and they are VERY expensive. It costs about $100-200 for one and takes around 3-6 months to even get them in. The two that got preggy did it...

Alright so I stumbled upon this whilst waiting for my cat to give birth. So I figured why not share my stories and I might be able to help someone along the way. I'm going to tell you about my two recent babies pregnancies. I've had and seen many cats have birth but never really paid that close...
