my cat went into labour today around 1pm... she gave birth to a beautiful ginger kitten but unfortunately she was dead and i couldnt revive her... she then gave birth to another which was also dead. she had the last kitten around a hour and a half ago and her contractions seem to have stopped. however it still feels like there is one in there. this is her first litter and im devistated both of her babies have died. is it possible she will have another. if she does pray its alive!

still no more kittens... were devastated xHi!
How are things now?
i'm so very,very sorry. Those little ones and the mama deserved so much more. I'm sure she is crying for her babies. they might have been premature, did they have lots of hair? do you know how far along they were? Can you call your local shelter vand see if there are any kittens that need a mom? I'll pray for you all, and for those sweet angels that never knew life, my heart is broken.......

mine is too 
but yeah they had plenty of fur and they were a very good size for newborns... my cat isnt very big so i think they might have died on the way out... my cousins cat just had 3 healthy kittens which they are finding homes for so she said we could adopt one. i know it wont be the same for my cat but she is a mother without babies so hopefully having one there will make her feel better x

Sorry, are you suggesting taking a newborn away from its litter and mother for your cat?
Please do not do this. The existing litter and mother should stay together. Kittens benefit immensely from having littermates and staying with their mom for 12-14 weeks.
Your cat is grieving now, but will be ok in a few days. Finding orphan kittens through a shelter or rescue would be a wonderful thing to do, but taking another kitten from its mom isn't, unfortunately. I know your heart is in the right place.
If you don't decide to find foster kittens, would you like help finding a low-cost clinic to spay your cat?

That's great. The kittens should stay with mom until 12 weeks at least.
Do let us know if you'd like help finding a place to spay when you're ready. It will help your girl to calm down, and will help with any cat introductions/cohabitation in the future.
I took them to be older, you mentioned finding homes for them. Your little girl will be blessedly forgetful of losing her little ones in a week or two. that is how long I have observed my own take to stop mourning.
