You didn't say if your 14 year old cat just recently passed on ... from your wording, it sounded like to me that it had been a while now since the 14 year old passed away.
Was it recent?
To the Original poster ...
keep an eye on her. Not every birth goes well. Babies can be breech, cords can be wrapped around necks, babies can get stuck in the birthing canal.
Such things would be best to have medical care for. Babies CAN die if they are trapped in the canal. And if there are...
Okay.
First of all... fleas will NOT kill a litter. Come on folks. FERALS do NOT have flea protection ... and they breed CONSTANTLY.
It isn't *great* if the mom has fleas, but it will NOT harm or flipping KILL a litter. Let us not scare and over-dramatize things or give bad or erroneous...
Yeah Tubby looked like he had some serious genetic issues, his head was normal sized, but his body was dwarfed.

Shelters that are good don't get closed down. They get more support.
Just the way it is.
Sounds like some folks here only visited a while ago or only saw the sanitized areas. I'm going to go with the government on this -...
My one feral wasn't eating either - so I started mixing in a can of tuna with their kibble twice a day, and BAM! the timid one had it's face BURIED in food.
Now I am starting to leave kibble out for the day, to start getting them used to kibble by itself, and use the tuna fish with kibble mix...
It sounds like she simply lost her sanity.
Or perhaps an early onslaught of dementia. Chances are when you guys that saw the place as being nice were there ... she was FINE. And then she just lost it in the years afterwards. Going crazy can be quick. A person can be fine and then just lose...
