Where is the mother now? Will you be able to have her spayed?
I will not keep the mother cat. I am going to take her to adoption.
So i'm pretty sure animal shelter will spay her.

Since she is no longer nursing please have her fixed. If she has more babies she will kill them too.
She will be going to adoption where she will get fixed. I am only going to keep her 2 kittens who are healing right now.
I don't know why she attacked them. They were sweet with her and so was she with them. I don't understand.

Where do you think?
She was probably a first time mom. In these cases sometimes it happens.

When I was little we had cats in the barn one of the mother cats attacked her own litter but we never knew why. It was upsetting but it does happen.

Is it a no kill shelter that you're working with?

Can they help you with the other cats as well?

Well the previous cats some I took to adoption cause there were too many. About 2 passed away. And the two others have grown to adult kitties which are named Blueberry and Clove. The two females are outdoor most of the time. The aggressive mom is now a sweetheart.

None of them are spayed?

You would not have so many to take to the shelter if they were fixed.

Taking them to the shelter solves your problem only temporarily because they continue to reproduce.

More cats at the shelter puts the problem on the shelter.

In general it is a non-stop cycle of bringing unwanted, uncared for cats into the world.

Can you talk to the shelter about getting your cats spayed and neutered?

Yes a no kill shelter. I am going to raise the kittens and get them homes when they are older.

My cats are spayed and neutered. My females aren't having babies anymore. Now I'm dealing with another stray female who brought kittens to my yard and killed 2. I took cats to the shelter because there are so many pregnant females around my neighborhood. And they all decide it's okay to bring their kittens. If I keep spaying and neutering these kittens and leaving them live outdoors with no familes isn't good either. I have 4 cats of my own 2 spayed females two neutered boys.

That's great that yours are all fixed!

It's good that you are helping the strays in the neighborhood by taking them to the shelter.

Your efforts are appreciated!

Here is a picture of the kitten who was injured. His cuts are officially closed. He drinks his milk when I feed him.

Thank you very much. I just don't want any cat to be living in the streets life is sad for them.

The kitten looks good! Is the other one doing okay too?
The other one is doing way better than yesterday. He plays a lot and also drinks his formula.

Thank you for saving them! ❤
One more question can a kitten get a neck brace? The kitten in the basket can't sustain his head.
