Do I Show Mommy Dead Kittens

[Brwnigrl123]

Hi my 2 year old cat has never been pregnant. She had 2 kittens both born dead. Do I show her the kittens ? She is becoming to look around for them

I would. Did you take them from her immediately after she gave birth?

I had been gone 30 minutes and when I came back she had cleaned up everything and kittens were under towel in the bed I had just given her yesterday

Yes, it's best if she knows they are dead.

Do you think she has more kittens to deliver?

If not, and you want her to have kittens to nurse, call local shelters and ask if they have orphaned kittens who need a foster mom. It's kitten season and the need is great out there.

I'm so sorry about the stillborns.

She is okay today. She is always an inside cat. I found 4 stray kittens and brought them home. The baby's were all girls except 1. He looks 3 or 4 months old. He has an appointment in 2 weeks to be neutered. Just didn't think he was big enough to to get her pregnant.. I learned a very hard lesson with these cats

Can you get all of them spayed and neutered? That would be best.

Do you have a low-cost spay/neuter clinic in your area you can use?

Yes do. Inbreeding is bad for them.
