Tomorrow I'm going to the shelter and I'll take back home a mother with her baby kittens or a pregnant cat that will deliver soon. I'll be their foster home until the babies are 3 months old. I don't know yet how many kittens there will be neither how old they will be. I'll post the info as soon as I get them. But, is there anything basic I should know regarding how to take care of the little family? I never did such a thing, but they will help me at the shelter by giving me advice. Still, I'm anxious and I want to do the best for them.
Where should I install them? How much space to they need? Does the mother needs any specific food? Should I keep them separated from my two other cats (two 8 months old female) for the whole time or just at the beggining? What temperature should the room be? Is there anything special a little kitten might need? I will search on this forum for other threads related to all my questions, but a little help would be much appreciated (even if it's just a link to another thread).
Thank you for your help and I'll be back tomorrow to tell you the age and number of kittens or, if it's a pregnant mother, when she is due.
