My boyfriends grandparents found a stray mom cat in their backyard with her kittens. We don’t know how long they’ve been there or how old the kittens are. The kittens are also out of reach, we think there are two of them.
The grandparents put dry cat food and water out for the mom and asked my boyfriend to check on them while they’re out of town. After seeing the mom today I’m concerned about her size. She is very small and skinny and you can see all of her bones. She is super friendly and wanted tons of love and attention, she wasn’t alarmed by us trying to get a better look at the kitties. Anyways, I find myself worried that because of her size that she may not be producing milk for her babies? Is this a valid concern?
We don’t want to disrupt the kittens if it’s not necessary but are wondering if we should pick up kitten formula and try to bottle feed them. If anyone has any suggestions or experience please share, thank you!
