Our new neighbors cat is coming to ours for food and now to just hang out. She had kittens recently and is a nice little thing. We tried scaring her off but she wasnt bothered. We rang the nieghbors who comfirmed what we`d thought, that she had kittens recently. Shes so hungry and I`m guessing we buy better quality cat food for our cat than they get for her. (they said shes eating a tin of food a day since she had litter). Its very hot and summery so we dont want to shut all the windows and doors to keep her out.
Do you think we just accept her bring about and let her have some xtra food (i hate the idea of her or her kittens being hungry - shes only a small thing herself). Its not my cat to feed, but if shes not getting enough then maybe its good to give her some extra? Will this mean she is always at ours even after her kittens are big?
What should we do?
She`s very determined.

She's evidently hungry, so I'd feed her while she's nursing her kittens. You can cut her off and she's weaned her kittens if you want. Don't let her and her kittens starve.

Maybe you should consult the neighbors about their cat and ask them if you can have her and her kittens and if they say yes then keep her and when her kittens get old enough then you could sell them and if you don't want to keep her then you could sell her too. If they say no then the only thing that I could say for you to do is to call the ASPCA because no animal should ever go without food and people shouldn't count on other people to feed their pet.

This happened to me when I used to live in a ground floor apartment. Neighbor next door had 2 cats which they hardly ever allowed indoors and which they fed only dry kibbles - laid out on their porch. I have 2 cats and cared for real well. Anyway, my neighbor's 2 cats just began hanging around my place - going in and out and eating my cats' food at will. I could not bear the thought that the neighbor's cats could be hungry and all so I ended up buying them their own bowls and fed them together with my own 2 cats. In fact, I took care of them. When I moved out, I asked the neighbors if I cpuld bring their 2 cats with me. To my infinite surprise they adamantly refused!!! I felt terrible.

I would give her some food.One can a day is not enough for a nursing mother.Try to encourage the owners to have her spayed when the kittens are weaned,or you will have kittens coming out of the woodwork.Poor little thing.Show mercy;you seem to be really concerned.Bless you for caring.

By all means feed her if you don't mind, after having kittens she would be very very hungry because the kittens would be taking it all from her. Obviously she knows that you are going to feed her, and she feels safe.

Sounds like the owners aren't very worried. She and her little babies could end up being yours, at least in their minds. Maybe you should suggest getting her fixed to the owners, or she could continue having babies and coming to your house. Most ASPCA's will give a certificate to help with the cost.

the only ailments she ought to grant to you would be ringworm, and that's treatable. the different issues are the two cat appropriate, or are parasites that are thoroughly treatable. purely provide her help, she desperately desires it. carry her in and confine her to a minimum of one room. She could not grant you herpes or something like that. in the experience that your guy or woman cat is as much as this element on vaccinations, that is risk-free. Have a separate muddle field for the recent cat purely in case of worms, and that stands out as the only element i might subject approximately at this point. in case you retain them aside with a door, your different cat should not be harmed.

If you want to feed her tyen feed kitten food or suggest this to the neighbours. it has higher levels of protein and more calories.
