Hello,
I took in a pregnant momma cat who had 8 babies. They will be 7 weeks old Tuesday... there has always been a runt that we did supplemental feeding with but he was a fighter, first to climb the stairs, first to the bowl... instigating siblings. He stayed back from play a little bit but...
We still have all 8 kittens! Weighing was really tricky and trying to identify who is who was making me loose my mind! We have one kitten I am concerned about who wouldn’t take from the bottle and mom kept getting up when ever it would finally latch. Tonight I tried using a small medicine...
God pulled #8 through! Everyone has been moved to a new and cleaner nest. I’m sitting with them with a small heater on for now, but will turn off before I catch some Zzzzs! Thank you for everyone’s help! I have some homes lined up and I have three shelters willing to help with spay/neuter...
Thank you! Not sure #8 is going to make it. Momma couldn’t break sack and he got a lot of fluid in lounges. He is cold and his breathing seems shallow but he cried a couple times after I blew into his mouth/nose. How can I help him? He is very weak
Thank you! And I was wondering about the placenta eating. #7 was a very small placenta from what I could see. And... there feels to be another in tummy! momma is doing good but is SO tired! Is there anything I can do to help?
I think Tango will surely be living on through these kittens. The...
Thank you for your kind words! Momma FINALLY ate the 6th placenta and umbilical cord. Waiting on the next one now... I offered her water and she wasn’t having it, I offered a small amount of can food and she gobbled it up. Hope the wasn’t a bad idea. I thought I had another week before delivery...
Yes, they are latchin we are up to 6 kittens now. Momma seems to be running out of room on this make shift last minute box. I don’t think I should move her though, right?
Not that I can tell!! They have tried but with no luck as far as I can tell. Advice?
Mom seems okay. She is resting in between and I’m trying to help clean babies but only when she rests and looks at me like, “ your turn”
Momma is having contractions. Haven’t seen any heavy panting yet or much fluid but very needy and vocal. Visible contractions and wants me rubbing her tummy and head and then pushes me away
Hi! Congratulations on your first foster too! I was doing the same with keeping her in a room but she isn’t a fan. She is a very clingy cat and I’ve only had her sense Thursday evening. She seems to have lost her mucus plug or at least started to today. My daughter went to her dads tonight so I...
Googled it! Glad to know a little more about her! She isn’t shy at all! Very loving and sweet. My daughter adores her and she loves the lap snuggles and head rubs! I hope to be able to be here when she had the babies! I will be on high alert!
Any advice
For nests? She seems to like the...
Thank you for your reply! I got on this site originally because I wondered if cats “dropped” but I head read mixed replies. I assumed it was something that had to happen. When she is laying, we can feel the babies lower like at her hind leg crease. But then, we can also feel them in the middle...
Hello,
On Wednesday my 6 month old male kitty died after being neutered on Saturday. Nobody could tell us what happened for sure but most likely had a previous condition before the surgery or tore internally. We were completely heart broken. When I told the individual we had got him from, she...
