Regarding the nine kittens/mom cat: New dilemma/question: My partner has the kittens/mom cat at her house in PA. Once school starts, she is in New York City at least 3 days a week, often more than that (and stays w/me in my apartment). All summer she's been wanting to keep Katie and 2 of the...

They're EIGHT weeks old and all doing amazingly well! However, the mom cat is in heat, so I've started making calls to get her shots (remember, she's a stray) and then spayed. Poor thing...I wish I could do something to help her! Question: (quick background - my partner has a home in PA...
