I’m freaking out as I type this so please bare with me... I can’t sleep worrying about how to do this.
A very pregnant stray has been coming around our porch and we’ve been feeding her. I don’t know anything about pregnant cats but I think she’s going to give birth any day now. Problem is my neighborhood is very dangerous for strays, if you know what I mean. I feel scared to let her just have her babies wherever she goes (she comes to our house 2-3 times a day) but there’s no place inside to put her.
My house is very small. My mom has a room but she has dementia so placing kitty there is no go. In my room I have 1 cat and a big, sick dog....and my bed. We only have one bathroom so not good either. The living room/dinning room is where our other 4 cats live. Going crazy trying to figure something out I remembered a big cage I got years ago from someone. It’s big enough for a golden retriever and her 4 puppies (that’s where they would be when their house was cleaned by their owner). I got an extra litter box and food/water bowls. The only solution I can come up with is to put kitty in there with everything plus a cardboard box with newspapers where she can give birth.
The bigger problem is that, being in Miami, it can rain whenever. I got a couple of shower curtains and am thinking of covering the top and 3 sides since our back porch doesn’t have a roof. But then I’m worried about the heat so I thought of using our box fan outside the cage?
I’m so anxious over this I think im going to puke. It’s about 73 to 85 Fahrenheit every day but lately it’s gone down to 60 at night. We’re having really crazy weather.
Any help is welcomed. I’m going insane with worry.
