Three weeks to a month ago, this young cat kept staying near our house. We would always play with her when we were outside. After it was apparent she had no home, we took her inside. We took her to the vet after a week of having her and got her shots, wormer, wellness check and flea and tick medicine. We made an appointment to get her spayed on the 17th of this month. Last night, she started screaming and had 5 kittens. I was completely shocked! She didn’t get very big, and didn’t really have too many symptoms. She meowed a lot, but I honestly thought she was adjusting from outdoor to indoor cat. Luckily, they’re all healthy, and I’ve managed to keep everyone safe and alive! Right now I’m keeping them in a bathroom with a bed for her, a litter box, fresh food and water, and a box with a heating pad and towels and a space heater. I don’t want to let them into the house yet because I’m trying to regulate temperature and we have two large dogs and two house bunnies. Honestly, she is my first cat and I’m still learning and now I have a whole litter depending on me and it’s a little scary. Is there any general advice? Any tips that made raising kittens a bit easier? I’m still getting her spayed, and I do not want to surrender the kittens to a shelter. I’m hoping to let them stay with the mom cat a little longer, and I would much rather get the vaccinated and to a permanent home. Any advice of how to check out potential families or when to start trying to find them homes? I want the best for them, they’re adorable and deserve good full lives.
