hello!
We have an outside cat who got pregnant before we could spay her. (Plan to after shes done with the kittens)
She has had 3 kittens who are now around 4 weeks old.
Ive been socializing them as we plan to get them homes. So far i have one thats getting pretty friendly, ones still a bit skittish and the other one is curious but still not a fan of me.
Today the momma, Little kitty, had her sister, we call, Other kitty, show up with 4 more kittens.
Im aware queens will occasionally merge litters if they know eachother, which im hoping these two will merge. But i also know they sometime will steal kittens or sadly kill.
Fortunately they havent fought and dont seem to be trying to run eachother of or steal kittens.
The only things ive seen that bothered me were they hissed at each other once, and one of lil kitty’s kittens did get a lil hissy and swatted at the other momma which she hissed a bopped him back. Seemingly just to put him in line.
Sadly i ca not bring any inside to a safer spot as we have no room and my cat isnt a fan of other cats.
The shelters here are kill shelters and usually filled with kitties, the cat shelter doesn’t seem to take them unless its from an animal shelter so that would be a kill risk.
Im hoping they will merge and we can get homes, we have some people already interested.
The worst thing is the other momma might take her kittens elsewhere but i hope the original group will stay and not follow so i can at least help get as many as i can into a home. (Preferably all 7 lol)
has anyone delt with a similar situation? If so how did it turn out?
p.s original group is a group of tabbies 1 female 1 boy and 1 we think boy
Second group is two light colored tabbies and a black and black tux, genders unknown
