Kittens And Mother

Can you talk to your neighbors? It's fairly urgent, especially if it's cold.

I can't imagine there's any harm is asking to look around.

I agree. Speak with the neighbors about finding and rescuing the kittens. It sounds like terrible weather for newborns. The other issue is getting the feral sounding mom to stay at your house. Do you have a large crate or box for them?

It looks like they are not home right now I will try later in the day. I do not have a big crate to keep them in and the female cat attacked me earlier today so I been trying not go near her. But I will find out where the other litter of kittens are its too dangerous for a litter of newborns to be with there mother in this weather and other animals.  I will do all the possible for these kittens.

Yea there's no harm in looking I always pass around there walking to see if there is any sight of the kittens but don't see anything. I have literally looked at all my neighbors houses while walking to see if there was any sight of them. I also live side of a forest looking park they could be there too I'm unsure but I will find them.

How are the inside kittens doing? Is mom in with them still?

The mama is feeding them thankfully there doing great I will try to post pictures of them.

She is now outside but the kittens are doing great here are some pictures (sorry Blurry)

What beautiful kittens! I thought you were going to keep mom inside now. What's up?

I don't know if I put this earlier but the mama kinda went extremely crazy hissing and scratched my arm I thought she was going to attack my face. So I decided to put her outside instead I don't want to get attacked again my cut was numb for about 2 hours. But since the weather got a little better I will put them outside for her to feed in the basket. I don't know if I'll put her back in. I'm going to feed them formula KMR inside since they love it.Or should I just leave her take care of her kittens on her own looks like she doesn't like my help. Also today she has been with them all day I don't know what to do.

Ok, first, does your cut seem infected at all? If it does, you need to get to the doctor immediately. If the kittens are drinking out of bowls, I think it's time to trap mom and get her spayed ASAP. Then you can move the kittens inside and take over feeding.

We hardly ever recommend taking a mom from her kittens when they are this young, but they can't be outside, and it doesn't sound like she can be inside.

She won't just settle in your room with them? She's upset at you for moving her babies around. She's trying to tell you to leave them alone. They will be ready to wean in another week, so you can trap mom for her spay and bring the kittens in then. Mom will chill out after she's spayed. If you let the kittens grow up outside they will be feral and you will have a bigger problem.

Do you have a spare room you can put them all in? If you could get her into a room and leave her be with her kittens, perhaps she would settle in.

Well I only have a laundry  room and a bathroom I could put them in but I keep all my bug poison in the laundry room so I think I might put them in my room or in the bathroom. Today I went out to leave them with her and she was purring at me and being kind. Also they are in the backyard they have a set up with blankets and a basket with a box. I am looking for places to spay her. I saw that if she is a feral cat they will trim a bit of her ear to know she is feral. I think i'm going to get her spay as my pet and put on a collar on her. I see the kittens everyday they love being inside. They usually trying jumping out to get in.

My cuts thankfully didn't get infected. They want to eat solid food so i'm going to try give them soft solids. They are starting to pee and it smells pretty bad I am very sure it's time for litter box training I already have litter and a litter box. i am looking for places to spay her.

I agree that she felt threatened. I think she would calm down if left in a room inside with her babies. Outside really isn't safe or secure.

I don't have an alone room to put her in but I could try the bathroom. Yea she might of felt threatened. 

Please put mom and kittens in the bathroom then. Especially now that they are ready to wean and learn the litterbox, and are climbing out. They need to be inside now.

Do you have a local Humane Society that performs low-cost spays in your area?

The spay is pretty much low cost here in any vet but I need to find one who will do good surgery. 

I will put them in the bathroom with their mama thank you.

Great! I'm glad to hear the spays are low-cost and that this cat family will be in the bathroom now. Thank you! [emoji]128522[/emoji]
