Well not to depress anyone, but in spite of my best efforts and the humane society’s, none of the kittens made it. They said the kittens had a genetic abnormality that made them not able to take in enough milk and they suspected it could be due to inbreeding. (It wouldn’t surprise me considering...

It’s been hit and miss. Sometimes they latch and drink their full meal. A lot of times they’ll start but just lose interest after a few moments. There’s a couple kittens that just look smaller and weaker and one of them has a shakiness to their head I don’t like. I’m going to bring them...

Thanks everyone for helping me through this. Definitely glad I found this website. When I got home last night I saw that the mama cat came down from her hole and ate, but she didn’t take care of her kittens. They were cold and wet and I had to quickly warm them up then get some food in them...

I had that same thought and got excited because I thought you’d know how to do it lol. I’ll google it tonight and see about it. I’m on my way back home now hoping mama came out and ate and fed her kittens.

I ended up putting them in a box and put a sort of blanket fort up for mama. She prefers her hole though.

I felt she wasn’t helping them eliminate so I stepped in a couple times and did so. Only got pee but I figured it was better than nothing and I got some of them to latch and feed from a syringe filled with formula. I was really trying to stay away for the most part though and I took my dogs out...

The kitten weights range from 105g to 121g and they’re about 5 days old if I’m guessing right. What do you guys think?

Yeah agreed and I really have tried to just feed mama and leave, but I honestly can’t tell if she’s decided to stop taking care of them or not. I wish I could afford a monitor of some kind but I really can’t. I went down to get their weights and I think my dogs and I will have a quiet day or...

That is such a wonderful idea. I don’t have one but I can go get one. Do you know a good place to find what kitten weights should be?

That was my plan but she never comes out when I’m down and I’m not confident she has at all. None of the food I brought her yesterday morning is missing and she’s still in there now. The kittens were quiet when I came down though the moment they heard me some of them started crying. I feel like...

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get anything to work still. I rearranged the kittens’ bedding and they’re laying in a little pile again so maybe they’re ok for now and mom will come down for some food soon and feed her kittens too. If not I guess I’ll try all over again tomorrow. I honestly never know...

Well things are not going very well. The mama cat has been hiding in a hole up in the rafters that I didn’t know existed and leads to under a room of the house and I’m not sure that she’s come out all day. I’m confident she can come out, though. The kittens are now moving and calling for her...

While I always spay/neuter my animals, I can’t say the same for my neighbor. They are very irresponsible with their cats and their dogs. Every year I have kittens running around my yard, but this is the first time I happened upon a newborn litter. I definitely don’t plan to let these guys go...

I went down to check and found one of them off the blanket. I put it back and happened to glimpse mama in the rafters on the way back up. I decided to take my dogs (who get quite boisterous in the morning) for a drive. Maybe all the happy feet sounds of my dogs are pretty intimidating to her...

Well mama cat ate last night and the kittens seemed great, but I didn’t see her anywhere. I have an unfinished basement so I figured she found a good hiding spot in the rafters or on the vents, but now a kitten has been calling for about ten minutes, and I’m starting to worry. Should I give her...
