Maybe a couple of days.  Some people reported milk coming in again after no milk for a day.  You can call the vet they may know someone in need.

Okay thank you. If she dies still have a kitten in her (I'm unsure it could just be her uterus) how long is it appropriate to wait? She isn't having contractions right now and her last kitten was born around noon

She'll have milk for a couple of weeks. She'll be physically uncomfortable with her milk coming in and no relief in sight.

She is probably done birthing. Did you remove the stillborns yet? How is she acting?

She was just cleaning the babies trying to move them nudging them and all that[emoji]128546[/emoji] I took them away while she was sleeping and now that she's up she's cleaning herself. So far were doing all right- well she is. The humans in this house are a wreck..

Although this was an unplanned accident, this just makes me so incredibly sad. After what had happened to my bonnet in her pregnancy the whole situation already stressed me out but I just can't believe this. They were all moving and healthy a short time ago. At least it looks like Molly is healthy.

Have you tried to reach any rescue organizations for orphans yet? It's "kitten season" and they are usually swamped and may be very grateful to hear from you.

Yes, especially since you would be foster kittens for them.  they can only take kittens they have foster families for.

I have tried a few organizations but they do not have any at this time. I did call a friend and she has a kitten that is about 6-8 weeks old that she has found so maybe just having a small kitten around would help..? She's planning on taking him to a shelter so I said if the fostering with billy doesn't work out that I'll take him

Did you leave your number with the shelters in case some orphans come in?

Maybe that one little kitten would help, though he's already at the weaning stage, but would still be nursing and would benefit from having a mom for awhile either way!

Did you try animal control and the ASPCA? They tend to euthanize litters with no moms.

I'm so sorry!  Maybe they DID cook too long?  I've never heard of this, but with five kittens all stillborn, but moving up until a short time before birth,one wonders.  As for taking in orphan kittens later. it helps their depression AND they can start producing milk again.  We had one a few years ago who had a late term spay abortion in another group and was already in Petsmart for adoption when some new orphan kittens came in, starving, squealing and dirty.  I wrote the whole story for someone else in a thread here last year, so here is the link if you want to read the story.  The story is in post 12 of 23.

Hm.... I just don't know. She is even more depressed today than she was yesterday. She's crying and leading everyone to where she had the kitten like she wants it back[emoji]128542[/emoji] I'm getting the 8 week old foster tomorrow hopefully he will help her..

I surely hope it will brighten her up! Have you tried any rescues yet?

More sad news to report this July 4th... Molly almost die tonight trying to give birth to a sixth still born. This one was different though... The umbilical cord was wrapped around its whole body and tangled up into knots. It's body was elongated and misshapen and it just looked like an alien. It started out breach and then it got stuck- molly was getting very weak and barely pushing anymore. Eventually we had no choice but to gently pull it out. Knowing how dangerous it can be, especially when done by a such novices I was extremely scared and we tried being as cautious as possible. I am pretty sure that nothing is torn or damaged she is just absolutely exhausted. The way that this has happened is absolutely heartbreaking I just hope that she's going to be alright. I don't know what to think anymore.
