Hi guys!
I trapped a VERY pregnant feral kitty tonight who is likely to have kittens any day now. I've dealt with feral cats, and I've dealt with feral kittens, but not a pregnant feral before.
I'm trying to get her into a more experienced foster home for a couple of weeks since we've got a friend arriving on Tuesday who will be in that room for a few days, and then we're off to Vancouver on Saturday for 5 days.
Just in case she has her kittens while she's in my care, I'd love someone who's been in this situation to help me.
At the moment she's in my feral recovery cage which is roomy enough without being too cramped. It has a large litter box with Yesterday's News litter down one end, and her food and water down the other end, and blankets lining the bottom of the cage, and covered with a sheet. The room she's in is dark and quiet. Is there anything else she will need?
If she looks like she's going into labour should I just leave her completely alone to reduce her stress, or should I check on her regularly?
Any help would be appreciated!
