Baby Doll is blind she doesn't let it slow her down. This was her first litter. She had 2 babies born July 14th she was a good mom. Unfortunately her babies died The 1st one past away a couple days ago he escaped and got stuck. The 2nd baby starved to death she passed yesterday, because her teats are swollen and painful and looks the same way . All she wants me to do is rub her belly. I'm worried about her. I had another mama cat had babies her teats were normal. Give lots of love and affection

It sounds like she may be filled with milk or have mastitis. You’ll need to see a vet for antibiotics for the mastitis. You can apply warm damp compresses to soothe. Will you be getting her spayed soon?

Keep us posted!

How is poor mama kitty doing now? Did the warm compresses help? You could try finding a local rescue group who might be looking for a nursing mother cat - they might be willing to help you take your cat to the vet to see if she is able to foster orphan kittens. It could save tiny lives!
