I am a new member to this site, but Ive been reading this forum scince August. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their great threads.
I found a pregnant young cat in july, she was skin and bones with this huge pregnant belly. I couldnt leave her. I took her to the vet right away and she confirmed that she was very pregnant. We took her home and fattened her up. She gave birth to 7 healthy kittens 3 weeks later. She was an excellent mama. Because I had never had babies, I had a ton of questions,and refered to this website often. I was worried about every thing. When I thought they were having breathing problems, I found thread that taught me they were just hissing at me
. I ended up finding homes for 5 of the kittens and kept mama, the female runt, and one of the males (the female runt is a polydactal, just like mama). They are now just over 5 months old. I really wasnt planning on keeping any of them (except mama), but had a hard time finding homes. They drive me crazy every day, but I love them. It was such a rewarding experience. I cried every time I brought a kitten to its new home, but luckily I knew everyone who got one so I can visit them.
I just wanted to share my story with you guys, and let you know that you help a lot of people. Even when you dont know it.
