Spaying is equal to killing 20 kittens! My cat had 5 kittens last year and 3 now ,

no vet, no vaccination, no tests, no spaying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I am thinking about is to buy some medicine from Walmart and use a few drops on food from time to time.

The over the counter flea and worm medications are not to be used in food, they need to be applied directly to the cats skin.

These cheap, low quality medications can cause severe allergic reactions and even death. There are currently several campaigns on the go to try and get them banned. (Please Google for more information.)

Cats and kittens should not be left outside. They will be preyed upon by other animals, become sick with infectious diseases, be hit by cars, roam around the area spreading disease to other cats and to native wildlife.

If you do not spay and neuter your cats the mother will produce another litter within a few months. Cats can reproduce from six months of age. Any kittens that survive will have kittens of their own before long. The number of cats on your property will soon be beyond your control.

If you are financial unable to care for these cats or have some other reason for neglecting them please contact your local shelter, ASPCA or TNR groups and ask for help.

There really is no excuse for not allowing these cats to get the care they need.

Fleas need to be treated with Advantage II for cats. The dosage is based on weight and can be purchased over the counter. Tapeworms and roundworms are treated with pyrantel pamoate and praziquantel. These are obtained from a vet. Other over the counter worm and flea medicines are known to make cats very sick, and should be avoided, especially Hartz and Sergeants brands.

Reasons why one should spay/neuter their cats.. please read:

http://www.thecatsite.com/a/spay-and-neuter-your-cats

It is best in the long run for your cat to be spayed for health reasons.. it can be costly for your cat in the future if she isn't spayed now.

I don't understand your logic. How is spaying "killing" 20 kittens? You cannot kill what does not yet exist. Please look at the link that @Draco provided. If you cannot or will not help this family get the medical attention that they need, please give them to a no kill shelter.

It's also important to remember that countless kittens are euthanized every single day due to overcrowding because people choose to not spay and neuter their cats.

Spaying and neutering should not kill any kittens. You are actually preventing a great deal of deaths due to malnutrition, exposure, predators, and disease by keeping your cats in good health. You also haven't mentioned if you feed them outside. Can you feed hundreds of cats easily? You will soon have this many, and it will be a very ill and inbred colony. Cats don't discriminate against mating with brothers, sisters, parents, etc.

Please, please consider letting us help you to find fosters or a low cost clinic. How old are your kittens now?

car5car · May 11, 2016

The kitten is dead.

Other 3 kittens are for sale for $25 each.

You are welcome to buy them and do whatever you want with them.

Where are you located? If I am a reasonable distance from your state if you live in the US, I will take them. If not, perhaps I can help locate homes.

talkingpeanut · May 11, 2016

What do you plan to do with mom? Can she be for sale as well?

I live in Florida, Jacksonville area.

Did you mean "buy" them? Did you read previous post?

talkingpeanut · May 11, 2016

Sarthur2 do you live close enough to help these cats?

Mom is not for sale, we got her from 2 weeks old 2 years ago.

Well, how much you want to pay for it?

Yes, I would buy them.

I am located several states away from you, but if I am able to make it down there I will let you know, and we can go from there.

Sarthur2 · May 11, 2016

What happens if no one buys the kittens?

So mom's not for sale unless the price is right?? How heartwarming. Please do the right thing and take her and the kittens to a no kill shelter.

You do realize that it's kitten season right? You do realize that this means that those kittens are not a rare commodity and will likely not be sold because there are kittens being given away all over the place for free? What will you do when they don't sell? Allow them to breed among themselves so you can try to sell those kittens too? Can you afford to take care of dozens of kittens?

Please, please get mom spayed so that this tragedy won't be repeated again.

Spaying would also be healthier for mom.

And if you can't find someone willing to buy the kittens, please take them to a shelter so that they can be cared for. I don't mean to criticize you or your actions, but leaving mom and the kittens outside is inhumane.

talkingpeanut · May 11, 2016

Can you please tell us how old the kittens are?

Sarthur2 · May 11, 2016

I'm in Florida. Could you post a picture of the 3 kittens for sale please? I'd like to see them. Aren't they one month old now?

A reminder of the forum rules -

1. If you suspect that your cat may be ill, please contact your vet immediately. No online advice can replace direct veterinary intervention.You are welcome to look for advice in the health forum while waiting for that appointment, but never delay proper veterinary care waiting for Internet advice.

2. Do not provide medical advice. Discussing various options is encouraged and you may share your experience including details about what kind of medication was administered and dosage. However, do not suggest to another member that they should change anything in the course of treatment prescribed by their vet without first consulting with a qualified veterinarian.

3. This is a pro-spay-and-neuter website. Please make sure to spay and neuter your cats. Unless you are a professional breeder and your cat is part of a professional breeding program, please educate yourself to the importance of spaying and neutering by the time your cat is 4-6 months old. If you take care of a feral colony, please make sure to do so responsibly by practicing TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) protocols within the colony.

Many members have suggested a vet visit, but the OP is not interested. We do not give medical advice here, so there isn't much more we can do and I am closing this thread.

If anyone is interested in adopted these kittens, please feel free to PM the OP, but do not send money blindly without further investigating the situation.

I month old kitten doesn't eat and in pain crying. I will not go to a vet. Any ideas? Thanks.
