One of our cats had a litter October 7 and are coming up 8 weeks old, and now I have a couple of questions that would like answered
1. Is it too soon for the babies to be adopted out?
Since we've only found homes for 2 out of 5 kittens, and we need to get her speyed before she has another litter and they're still feeding from mom (infrequently as their diet mostly consists of solid food and water now):
2a. Is it too soon to get her fixed up?
2b. How can we encourage her to dry up? (since the kittens haven't been rehomed yet and aren't drinking from her regularly, and I have read from some sources that mother cats need to be dried up before the operation)
Any and all information would be gratefully accepted
