What do u think is my cat to young? Will she be alright?

She is very young. You may want to watch her closely during the birth and with the babies. Read up on cat birth and anything that can go wrong. Young moms don’t always know what to do. You need to make sure she cuts the umbilical cord, stimulates them to urinate and deficate, and is feeding them often. Of course everything could very possibly go smoothly, but it’s best to be prepared!

Please keep her inside 100% of the time until her kittens have weaned. Can you keep her away from intact males?

She can be spayed when the kittens are 2 months old. Do you need help finding a low cost clinic?

She is very young, but in nature they become pregnant young and most manage...
So do prepare yourself as well you can, but hope for the best.

Young moms are often very good, but the instincts not always kick in immediately, so its wise to be extra prepared to help her out esp in the beginning.

 

[Florencekitty]

Thank you all for this help she is still doing very well her babies should be due around 2 weeks away

the babies ars moving around a bit she continually licks herself not just around her genital area everywhere. She is sleeping at the moment an has most the day nothing like blood or anything coming out of her vagina though? Any thoughts

 

[StefanZ]

Its apparently nearing, but it doesnt sounds as the real labor has began yet.

 

[Florencekitty]

Ok

She does stay indoors right? No intact males should be allowed near her. She can get pregnant again almost right away after giving birth. Please spay her

Do you plan to say the mom after this litter weans?

 

[Florencekitty]

yes she is an out door cat

 

[StefanZ]

How is it going? Has she delivered? If not, any concerning symptoms?? The waiting game is very often quite unnerving!

yes she is an out door cat

 

[Florencekitty]

hello, all is well she I haven't seen any signs yet she should have them sometime this week or early next week she is healthy i did stop feeding her as much because i believe she had gained belly fat but i think it was just the babies. Hope she has them soon i will post pictures

 

[Florencekitty]

They are beautiful! I understand she is an outdoor cat but are you able to keep her indoors until this litter is weaned and she is spayed? She can get pregnant again here in a week!

They are adorable! Aside from keeping her in and spaying her, she should be able to eat as much kitten food as she wants while she is raising these babies.
