Ok....so here is an idea if you cannot pre-adoptive spay/neuter. I would find out what the cost is for the spay and ask the adoptor to pay that to the vet...drop the kitten off at the vet and the adoptor can pick up the kitten after the procedure is done. That way...no possibility that they will become pregnant.Originally Posted by TortieBaby
Thanks. Yes, they are the 2 intact females.
Hopefully you can find a new home for the 2 girls...and congrats on getting an appt. for you male.Originally Posted by TortieBaby
Good new and bad new. Good new: I just scheduled the male an appointment to be fixed on September 26. Bad news: I just scheduled the male an appointment to be fixed on SEPTEMBER 26! That was the earliest I could get it scheduled. Looks like I'll have to bring the girls in. Oh Boy! 1 cat with newborn babies and 3 other female cats all in a shed/house! That's asking for trouble!
It's good she is healthy..that way she can take care of this litter so it grows strong and she can be safely spayed and have this be her only litter.Originally Posted by TortieBaby
Yeah. I just took the mama and babies to the vet. They said the gray one was called a diluted calico. I think it looks more tortie though because it is not patches of color like a calico. The one with orange is definately a cally.
The vet also said that I ought to be greatful. He said the mama is so healthy and has so much milk that she could have very easily had at least 6-7 kittens! Yipes!
They are all females. LOL. Oh boy! My poor hubby, it's just him and the male cat surrounded by 8 females! Of course the male cat won't be very "manly" soon. LOL.
There are now clinics that will spay/neuter as early as 8 weeks of age...you may want to check to see if any of the low cost clinics offer this service.Originally Posted by TortieBaby
I'm not sure when they can be spayed. I'm pretty sure I will end up having to give all of them away though so I won't have to worry abou getting any more preggy kitties.
