We are going to see the vet today at 4:15. I just wanted to get a quick check on her, see when these babies are coming, treat for fleas--I don't want the babies to have them, and depending on the cost maybe get an xray.

Its snowing here this morning but momma looked warm and cozy when i checked on her.

Bless you for caring for this beauty! You've created a great set up for her and those babies to come.

Has she gone to the vet yet?
Is she going to go to the shelter after the babies come?
for you for taking fostering/taking care of her!

Momma and I just got back from the vet--she's very healthy, no fleas and FIV and FELV negative!!!! Doc says babies should come in the next week so we'll wait and see.

I'm not 100% sure what will happen when she has her babies--I hope to find them homes myself but as a last resort will take her and her babies to our local no kill shelter--unless somebody stays here.

the best is if you do it. And perhaps also it is the easiest way to find homes - ie if you do it, among your friends, neighbours, relatives, etc...


Once again, if you take them indoors - hope you can - use also a feliway diffuser, so your residents dont get stressed.
Google a little on Feliway if you dont know it.

I'd say at this point they're staying outside in the cage. But honestly a shelter right now couldn't offer a whole lot more--I mean its kitten season and the economny sucks, which is probably why she's on the street, and its more than they had one week ago. They are receiving the very best I can provide at this point and I am satisfied with that--Hubby not so thrilled with the vet visit but ya know I wanted to be reassured Momma was healthy--plus I can let future adopters know momma was fiv and felv negative etc.
