My foster cat had her kittens last night. Should have been full term, we took an xray at one point and could see skeletons so if we count that at the lowest it could be, 45 days, she would've delivered at 62 days. But her babies are TINY. I've never seen kittens this small. Like the title said...

I'm fostering a pregnant cat, Ramona. No clue how far along she is. I work at a vet clinic and had some xrays taken. The vet said maybe 2, I thought I can see 3. But the bones are pretty hard to see, so maybe she's not as far along as I thought? She seems pretty big!

I just got this foster mom a few days ago. By my guess she's probably around 2 or 3 years old. She was an owner surrender. She originally had 3 kittens but 2 died, maybe right after birth? I don't know for sure. She now just has the one. He's around 1.5 weeks old, no umbilical cord but his eyes...

I have a foster momma with her 3 kittens who are just over 6 weeks old. They eat some wet food and dry food but must still be getting a majority of their calories from mom because they're gaining weight great but not eating much. I don't have somewhere to put mom to separate them and I wouldn't...

My foster momma is giving birth and I'd just like to have a thread going in case I need help. She's had 2 so far, she's still cleaning the second one. The first is nursing, or at least trying to find a nipple. It's still attached to part of the placenta by the umbilical cord. When do I cut it...

I have a foster cat and her 5 kittens. They are 4 weeks old today. One kitten, about a week ago, started losing weight. Since then he will gain some, then lose it the next day. It's like 2 steps forward 1 step back. The shelter put him on clavamox assuming he has diarrhea, though I've seen no...

I've fostered this momma cat since she was still pregnant. Her babies turned 8 weeks old a few days ago and some went to their forever homes and some went to the shelter to be adopted yesterday. I thought she had been weaning them well, but it appears she's still heavily producing milk. Her...

I currently have a momma cat and her 7, 3 week old babies. The shelter recently got a 3 ish week old orphan, and I stepped up. I hope to introduce him to my other fosters after a quarantine period. I've never bottle fed before. I have the mini miracle nipples and the one the shelter was using (a...

She's around 3 years old and super pregnant. The rescue staff named her Kiwi. She wants attention 24/7, she even fell asleep in my lap yesterday. I have her in my foster room (a spare bedroom) with everything she needs, but when someone isn't in there she is meowing her head off. She'll stop for...

I don't have any yet, but I'm signed up to foster and one possibility is bottle babies. Can newborn kittens be fed every 2.5 hours? That would work best with my work schedule (coordinates with breaks and lunch). How often do you sterilize (boiling in water) the nipples/bottles? What's the best...

My 2 foster kittens were moved into the shelter for a few days and caught some sort of upper respiratory infection, so now they're back home with me to recover and be quarantined. I have them in my foster room which has vinyl flooring so that's easy to clean. However, I have a fabric cube house...

Right now I have my first foster group of cats: a young momma and her 6, 9 week old babies. I've had them since birth. I suppose it's a little late to be asking, but I can always take suggestions for my next batch. My question is, how do I raise them to be well rounded cats who will get adopted...

I'm fostering a young momma cat and her 6 babies. They turn 1 month old on Saturday the 26th. I've got a few questions, 1. How do i get them to use the litter box and not just eat the litter? I have clay, non clumping litter in a small box. I've seen one kitten pee on a blanket so I figured...

I'm fostering a momma and her 6, 3week old kittens. The other day one kitten had bright orange dried on his little toes. And then there was a little dried on the side of the nest. Now today I noticed some on another kittens butt, so I put some coconut oil on a q tip and wiped his butt and it's...

Background: This is my first fostering situation. I have a young mom, a little over 1 year, and her 6 kittens who were born on July 29, they'll be 3 weeks on the 19th. Momma was sick, she was on doxycycline for 10 days after the birth because she had a very hard time. She originally had 9...
