I came home to this? Is this possible?

WOW, This is SO crazy! I dont know how I would handle 13 kittens in my house. Good Luck with all of them. I will pray you dont go insane when they all get up and running around. LOL I think that God is looking after your cats and kittens and He knew you could handle this thats why He got all those kittens to you. I hope you have a big house. I think you may need it especially if she keeps delivering more. LOL Do you have homes lined up for any of them yet? I know that its still a while before you can give them other homes I was just curious if you had started trying to find them homes.

that is just too cool. Wow. 13 babies! your gonna have your hands full when they are all mobile...

no she is holding out i think she has been nesting so i think she is close..

Amy - that's just amazing and wonderful. I have heard of that happening - there was someone on the boards about a year ago that had a cat give birth (while they were out of town) to a kitten when her kittens were already several weeks old. It was really bizarre. Unfortunately, the lady's son got leukemia and she's been off the boards so I don't know how it turned out.

OK, mystery solved! I started to get suspitious this morning when I was looking at these 4 Siamese colored kittens. It was just to odd, Calico mom and not a spot of color other than cream and grey. My 15 yr old son finally confessed. He and a friend found them in the freinds garage and after no momma cat returned all day... well, they snuck the two littlest ones in the house while I was gone. They then pretended they didn't know about it. They waited until last night to sneak the other two in. I'm afraid the two that were without food for so long won't make it through the day. His intentions were good but I almost rang his neck. He told me he thought if anyone could save them it was me . I don't know anything about where these kittens came from and that scares me. The momma has taken them like her own and the two smallest ones that came first are doing great and nursing like crazy. I just don't know what to do now, the other two won't nurse and are very weak

I guess this is proof of why you don't leave a pair of cats to mate for days and days and should separate them (planned breedings).

So it is true that the cat can conceive twice and kittens born later. IMO its not good for anyone concerned. I guess you are lucky that you didn't have complications.

LOL. You've raised him well if he cared enough to help them. I hope the last two make it.

Aw, Amy, I'm glad your son is so sweet. What a good boy. Have you tried putting corn syrup on the weakest ones' gums? That will give them a little energy - enough to nurse. I hope we hear good things about these two.

Ohhh I'm glad you found out the truth, I hope the little ones make it. Have you thought about bottle feeding to make sure they get enough milk?

Well, his heart was in the right place, and he may have saved two kittens lives, so you can't be too mad. However, he does need to talk to you a little more (not a strong suit for teenagers...)

Cold kittens cannot nurse. Try all the tricks of warming up the newbies, and Karo syrup on their gums. Then a syringe of warm KMR may perk them up. Prayers that they are strong enough to make it.

Hugs to you, Amy. Keep up the good work. If you are anywhere near Chicago IL, let me know, and I'll do whatever I can to help.

Amy you have one crazy house full of kittens now You have a big heart

LMBO - we were all fooled on this one. IMO I really thought it was impossible that one cat could have 2 litters that far apart and all survive.

You son was kind to help, but funny that he didn't tell you and you freaked out Hope everyone finds a happy forever home when old enough!

A lot of times a nursing mother will accept other babies - not all the time but many times. I've seen pictures of nursing cats/dogs that had a baby squirrel nursing with them - now if you came home to that you'd KNOW something was not right

wow... that was sweet of him... but really freaky for the rest of the world hehe.

Your son is a sweety...any updates on the last 2 kittens?

I think Amy has had a lot of crazyness going on with the kittens. If correct wasn't the other litter droped on your door step also.

Wow-thats amazing! I have never heard of such a thing!! Congrats on all the kittys!!

I think my neon sign that says "Sucka" is flashing right now.
Yes, momof3, the momma #2 was dropped off with her babies. I have to stop telling everyone what a sucker I am. I think the word spreads fast.
The weak 2 are still alive but I am not sure for how long. They don't seem to have the energy to eat. I kinda force them to. They are warm and I used the Karo syrup. I don't know what else to do. They are covered in urine and milk that runs out of their mouths but I am scared to wash them. They are so fragile right now, can I bathe them?
I am going to take them to work tomorrow, the momma wants nothing to do with them. When we came home from soccer, she had moved all the babies under my bed and left the two sick ones by themselves. She clearly sees they are not doing well and I am taking the cue from her. Any advice would be appreciated.

Have you tried rubbing some corn syrup or maple syrup on the gums of the kittens that won't eat? Have you gotten some kmr and tried to give them some with a syringe?

as far as what to do with all the kittens, please contact a local no-kill shelter. They can help you with them, and will take them, make sure they are spay/neutered and get them shots, and get them good homes.

I think it is wonderful that you have such a big heart to help these Momma's and babies. I am sending Big Hugs to you!!
It sounds like you are going to have both hands full for a few weeks.
Here is a site that may help you with the 2 weaker kittens.

Everyone is in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

Charmed, I have a deal with the local spay and neuter clinic. When I adopt out my kittens I don't charge anything. What I ask is that they pick their kitten up after I have dropped them off to be spayed. They pay the $30.00 for the cost of spay/neuter and the kitten is theirs. It works great.
