Hello, im asking for some advice please....

The neighbours across the road abandoned their pregnant cat who is around 18months and her son she had about 8 months ago.

The pregnant cat came to my house 2 sundays ago and had her kittens in my bedroom, ever since she has stayed at my house, which im glad she didn't have them alone and outside for foxes to get home of..

The problem I have is now her son is coming here too, he is not neutered.. He is sooo hungry and ive been feeding him also as he does not have anyone.. Ive rang cats protection but they are full..

Will the mother abandon her kittens in I let him in my home??.. She is upstairs in the bedroom with her kittens, and only goes out if she needs the toilet..

I have flead him and the mother. I haven't wormed them yet as im unsure which wormer I use on a whelping cat.

You didn't note where you live in your profile so I can't direct you to local help.  However, you should be able to search "low cost spay neuter" and find a place where you can get the boy neutered quickly.  If he is her kitten ad only 8 months old, she should not have any problem if you bring him inside.  I have seen mama cats who are nursing babies and the older cats way too big to nurse are joining in too.  Local rescue groups may help you place the kittens when they are old enough.  they may also give you the appropriate worm medicine.  I know ours does that.  They are always full but will help people who are rescuing cats in their home like you are.  Thanks for doing that!  You will be blessed by The Cat Goddess for your unselfish efforts.

Attached photo is from a few years ago, a mama cat I rescued who had one leftover boy (the fuzzy one) and a new litter of kittens.

Hi sorry I live in Leicester..

I was just worried in case 1) she left her kittens because I let him in my house, 2)  if the kittens caught anything from him as the cats protection said these things could happen and not to let him in but they are too full to take him at the minute... but I feel awful as he is just sitting under the bush in the garden waiting for me to come out to him and say hello and feed him.

@helen78 could you bring him in but keep him separate till he's been vet-checked?

Could the Cats Protection neuter him for you and return him to you?
