Take good care of her! She looks close to delivering! Do you normally take in stray pregnant cats? That’s a huge undertaking! Lots of work with a Mama cat and a bunch of kittens. I take it you have done this before?

I rescued a small feral female two years ago that gave birth to four healthy kittens and learned a lot about cats birthing. She did everything all by herself, I just had to provide her with a safe, quiet space to have her kittens. Which I did.

Good luck with this Mama cat! She looks pretty young, so she might need supervision, but it’s amazing how Mama cats just know what to do!

She’s awfully close. When I got the call I was told she was giving birth but nothing yet. We’ve fostered around 60 kittens in the last two years. We’ve had moms before but this is our first friendly one. Having her around is a huge advantage compared to the orphaned ones we normally have that need bottle feedings every few hours. We think it’s her first litter so we’ll definitely be keeping an eye on her and the babies.

You are the BEST kind of human on this earth— a kind and compassionate one! Thank you for who you are and what you do for pregnant kitties and regular kitties too! I wish more people had the desire like you to help these little creatures! Blessings to you and your home!

When she finally births her kittens, could you please post a picture for all of us to see! There’s something so sweet and endearing about a mother cat and her kittens! Saying prayers 🙏that everything goes well for new mother cat and her kittens! ♥️🐈♥️
