Hello,
I foster cats and kittens and I just took on a pregnant cat from the pound who is very pregnant. Because she is from the pound, I have no idea when she got pregnant or how long she has been pregnant. Her babies would have been euthanized at birth had she not gotten out, so I took her on as I wouldn't let that happen. Anyway, I don't have any previous experience with pregnant cats and would love some advice.
I have set up two nesting boxes for her. One is a cage with lots of blankets and a blanket on top covering the back and the sides, only open in the front. I thought this would be nice and dark for her, and the other is a box with blankets underneath and newspaper on top (I heard they like to tear the newspaper up). She doesn't show any interest in either of these, she likes to sleep on a blanket I left on the floor.
I noticed today her milk has come in. I can feel the kittens kicking and have felt them kicking for a few days now.
Any ideas when the kittens should be here?
Any advice really would be nice. I have already read a ton and talked to vets, but the more information, the better I think
Thanks everyone!
