The story so far:
Last weekend a little white cat showed up on my doorstep. She was very friendly and I noticed she was pregnant so I brought her inside and set her up in one of my large dog crates. I took her to the vet the next morning and sure enough, she was pregnant. Thankfully I know of a rescue group and they will take her and the babies when the babies are 2 lbs. They will spay and neuter and adopt out. The mom is young and I'm sure this is her first litter. She is doing well enough. She had 4 babies 3 days ago. I've been weighing them every day to make sure they are gaining weight. All seems to be well. I noticed mom had some bloody discharge today but reading the forum that seems normal. She stays away from the kittens more than I thought she would - what is normal? I am keeping her in the crate unless I am in the room to supervise because I don't want her to move the babies under the couch or try to get out the window. My dogs are going nuts because she is in my office where they hang out with me and now the door is shut to them.....I don't want to introduce them while the babies are so young. I have a kitty condo (large cat cage) on order so they will have more room soon. That's it, just thought I would share. Mom and baby pics are on my Dobe website - www.dobedepot.com.
