OMG this will kill me!!! But I know it's for the best
I will give 2 away and then keep the other 2 for at least a week before giving them up =) It's also going be hard on my kids!
I'll let you know how it goes for when you have to re-home Baby Girl's babies =)
Thank you everyone for your help.
Giving up the kittens is very hard for us and as a mother I just don't want our cat to have any heart ache in all of this.
Thanks for your support -- I wasn't really looking for a semantics lesson though...
My kittens were born on april 17th - so at the end of June they should be ready to go to their new homes (except the runt which we are keeping =)
What is the best way to minimize trauam for momma -- I am sure she won't be too happy about her babies going.
We are going to take her to get spayed...
My cat had kittens almost a month ago (on the 17th).
They are 'outside' cats -- we live on an acreage and they have a kitty door into the heated garage where they live and eat (we also snuggle and play with them every day out there).
Anyway The kittens were born in a large box - the walls are...
She is doing really well! She's 66grams now and she' getting feisty =)
She still snuggles and gets right in there with the rest of them -- and when I put her back in after feeding momma licks her clean.
Thank again all. I found a good resipe and started feeding her last night. She was 58grams last night and 60 this morning
When I was typing this last night it was 12:30 in the morning and I live on an acreage hours away from the big city so that's why I couldn't go anywhere for help --- so I...
Ahh - so much info....
It's midnight here so I can't go to the vet to get milk but I will in the morning.
How often should I feed her.
Do I feed her and then put her back with mom?
I don't have any corn syrup - is there any other kind of sugar I could use like icing sugar ... anything...
My cat had kittens 3 days ago. The runt is really tiny (hence being the runt ) - much smaller than the others. I can feel her ribs and she's really skinny - while the other 4 have nice round tummies.
Is there a way to know if she's getting enough?
I tried to put her up to the nipple but she...
Thanks so much you guys.
We locked the garage last night so 'Rockstar' (dad) couldn't get in. when he comes home I will go out and introduce him to the babies and see what happens.
They are very domesticated - they just live in the garage because I am allergic. But we feed them in there and go...
Hi my cat just had kittens (sometime today I think).
We live on an acreage and she lives in the garage (heated).
The dad is not around right now (must be out mousing) and I think she had them within the last few hours (we just got home and all babies are fine and are eating but there's still...
So Tashia (mama) disappeared for the day,as she often does. I called the vet and she said to call her again when I find Tashia and tell her what's happening.
When Tashia came back her belly was much smaller and she was stil lhappy as a lark. I called the vet back and she said to bring her in...
Thanks - I will call the vet.
Yes I am pretty sure she ate it because the kitten was all cleaned up - I think she had some time to 'get stuff done' before we found the kitten.
Thanks so much Stefan,
Aftre I posted I watched some videos about kitten birth and tried to prepare myself (because she knows what do do but I am a nervous wreck).
I finally had to go to bed.
Now - 5 hours later - still no more babies and mama is very spry.
She may have only had one - but her...
I have a situation - I will post my question and then give you some info.
My Cat is in labour - she had one kitten around 4 hours ago- it didn't make it. Now She is panting heavily she's in her nest and won't leave. She likes me being there and gladly lets me pet her right now.
How long...
