Thanks ❤ They are happily trying to attack my clean laundry pile at the moment. LOL! I just wish I could help them be less skittish. Of course, there's only so much a person can do as to some extent it is a personality thing, but I want to give them the best chance of getting adopted into a...

Hi, Our foster litter of mama and her two babies are still with us (they didn't get adopted last week at the shelter's adoption faire, so we begin the weekly trek back/forth until they are adopted.) The two babies had severe eye infections when they were little - we thought one was going to...

I'll invest in some ear plugs. :) Without a doubt, she'll be getting spayed. Just waiting for the shelter to let me know when she and the kittens are ready to come in. Until then, we'll just keep loving on them and keeping them safe (and making sure mama doesn't get out! LOL!) It is...

Thank you for responding so quickly! In your experience, how long does the "howling" portion of heat last? (Mama and babies are in my "office" in the house, so I may need to relocate my work area for a little bit so my co-workers and boss don't hear her. LOL!) Other than having her fixed...

Hi everyone, I am fostering a mama cat and her two baby kittens (babies are about 8w old now). Mama cat is super sweet and loves attention, however, she has started to get VERY vocal. No signs of an illness or discomfort. Food and water intake remains the same. Litter box use unchanged...

Hi, First, thank you all SO MUCH for your input when I was waiting for my foster mama cat to give birth. Mama and kittens are doing great! They grow so fast! I have a two questions if you wouldn't mind. :) Info on the kittens in case it is relevant. They are coming up on 4w old. They...

Yep, still just 5. Whatever we thought must not have been anything. We don't feel it now and she doesn't LOOK like she has any more to deliver. When I went back into the room to check on the little furry family, mama greeted me at the door, then grabbed some food, and went back to letting...

They are doing great! I'm keeping a log of their weights (but not interfering with them as much as possible). All are putting on weight to varying degrees. Two of the kittens were having a kitten fight club over one of mama's nipples so I had to try to show them that there are a few others to...

We have kittens! She went into active labor this morning. I came into the room just before kitten #1 was born. ❤ Maybe she was waiting for me. LOL 5 so far. She's doing great! She didn't need any intervention. We're not sure, but there may be one more - there felt like there might be...

98.1F. The wait continues. :)

Thank you, I will try that. If my math is correct, a temp of 96F (via armpit) could be an indicator of approaching labor? (Like 12 - 24h away?)

Hi all, I've been lurking for a little bit (love the site), and I am hoping you all can help me with my question. My family has been a foster home for our local shelter for several years and this is our first time fostering a pregnant mama cat. The vet is guessing 4-5 kittens and her initial...
