Hi there!
We brought 2 kittens home at the beginning of Covid, have had a very hard time getting them in for a spay/neuter, and the vets are still booked out for months. Our appt we waited months for was cancelled. I did find a vet that can get him in sooner than the rest, but that isn’t until March. They will call if they have a cancellation, but in the meantime we have already started keeping them separated. She will also have a spay but not until she’s 8-12 weeks post partum.
Anyways, Pearl is 64 days pregnant, she’s had dried milk on her nipples, her mammary glands seem to be filling up, but I haven’t noticed any other signs. Babies are moving like crazy. We have a nesting spot set up for her and we have been giving her more wet food. My best friend has been stocking us up with fresh goat’s milk for Pearl and also just in case I need to supplement with any of the kittens. I have no idea how many she will have. Guessing 2-3. I have homes for that many (we will be keeping one), and can easily find a home for a 4th or more if needed. I guess I’m just here for support, and to have a quick place to turn to for advice if needed during her delivery!
One question I do have is what the color might be for the kittns? Pearl is white, born with a black spot on her head, which I’ve read means she is technically black? Beau is orange. I’m no good at the exact color patterns, but here is a photo of the proud parents:
