If there is no immediate danger, you can let it be a few minutes, so you are sure all blood has stopped.

After it, you can cut off, with  teeth floss thread, a blunt scissor, or even your own nails.  They shall be clean, but dont need to be sterile.  Do not use sharp scissors.

IF there IS a danger of suffocation, you do it quicker, but NOT with sharp scissors.

SHE is having the babies!!! 2 so far. They are so cute!!!! She has been super quiet throughout her labor, but she is being a good momma and I think brought one back to life because it was born not moving or anything but she didn't give up and now its suckling. She is having them in a high traffic area. How long till I can move her to a better place?

Good momma, has apparently good instincts.

She choosed herself the high trafic area, so its just to try and give her peace there, at least awhile.

But you can move them quite soon if necessary.  She wont abandon them because you touch them.  Just be sure she dont get stressed, and understands you try to help them.

Collect them perhaps to a basket immediately near her, and carry them to the prepared nest, with her following.

Or something such.

Its common they dont deliver in the nest - their instincts tell them they dont want their real nest to get smelly nor infested with fleas too early.

No problem :) She is almost 2 years old, I am told she is small for a 2 year old cat, but I have had her since she was 8 weeks old. I am not positive when she would of been bred (assuming this means when she could of gotten pregnant, sorry im new here, just found the site.) because the male who would of gotten her pregnant lives in our house. She is definately an indoor cat, she is petrified of going outside. Her nipples have been this pink for atleast 2 weeks, and now they are starting to look like they have scabs on them, or really dry skin. We THINK the last time she was in heat was about 6 weeks ago, as her behavior only changes so slightly when she does go in heat. Hope that helps! and thank you so much for replying :)

Catching up with the tread.    It would be good to neuter this male, by several reason, preferably asap.

Do they still meet?   A tom who is friend with the mom, is usually no danger for the kittens - some may even act as a co-momma.

But who wants to take any risks?  She ca also get pregnant rather soon - esp having a tom nearby.

Cats arent protected from pregnancies by nursing.

She is btw a beautie.

Sorry for all the questions. REally thought we had more time. How do we tell if she is done? She had the first 2 within minutes of one another and now nothing....

If you arent an expert, its often impossible to know.  Is there one more, or is it just the common swellings of the uterus?

Anyway, the remedy is easy: if there are no troubles, she is calm, happily busying herself with these already delivered, its just to observe, but wait and see.

It may be a pause, short or looong, she may be done.

But if you notice any problems - more than some few aftercontractions, and some red colored discharge - be readly to contact your vet.

The kittens are whitish too, precisely as mom. Not the most common..  What is the color of the dad?

Congratulations!!!      You are a foster parent!!! 


These are absolutely beautiful babies....

Mom is gorgeous!!

I am so happy that people as StefanZ and Sarthur2 were available to help you..

I could not, as I have never seen a birth...

I was worried, as much as your were...

You did such a good job...

Thank you StefanZ....sorry if I was bugging you...but the delivery seemed to happen before my eyes....

Now kattykat1, you need to think of names!!! and in a few weeks find genders...

BTW, what is this awesome mom's name...
