my cat just had babies about 30 mins ago and now i dont know wat to do... please help?

Answer 1

Let mom care for her litter as she knows best. Be aware that mother will eat very little and only rarely leave her nest during the next few days.
Mom will also instinctively move the litter after a few days
Keep the room temperature is nice and cozy (newborns need 80F degree temperature their first few days).

Answer 2

Replace any dirty/wet towels/blankets without disturbing mama as much as possible. A little bit of movement is ok while doing this chore.

Keep fresh food/water by her along with her litter box so she does not walk far to get nutrition or relieve herself.

Look/watch the newborns for the next couple of minutes. See that they are cleaned up as good as she (mama) can do it for now, see that they are all moving/breathing without obvious difficulty, see that they are all on or close to mama's "teats", it is OK to have a baby or two off of her "teats" as long as it does not go on for very long (1/2 hour or longer), If it is awhile then place the kitten in question on her "teats" see if she suckles and for how long. Keep a record of kittens that seem to be "different" than the others.

Keep her area quiet, warm (not hot), comfortable, noise free, people free (except for you or owner), soft lights, protected, ect.

Try not to handle the kittens as much as possible unless they are in trouble.

Other than that sweet pea mama does it ALL. She eats the placenta/after birth, licks them clean, chews off the umbiblical cord, feeds them, encourages them to pea/poop, ect.

Now, start planning where all of the kittens are going in 12 weeks and make an appointment for mama cat to get spayed/vaccinated ASAP for we don't need anymore kittens in this over populated kitten/cat world.

Use discretion when allowing strangers to adopt the kittens. I'd grill them to death about their jobs, yard, other pets, their vet (get the vets phone number and call to verify), kids and others in house, landlord approval letter or mortgage statement.

Sounds like a lot huh? Well, sweet pea there are a lot of SICKOS in this world that will hurt animals or they are irresponsible and will allow the cat to breed, breed, breed, then kick her out because she is pregger's again, not vaccinate the cat, not neuter the male cat, kick out the male for spraying, not treat sickness asap, not feed properly/regulary, ect..

IF the perspective owner is a for real adopter then they will NOT mind being questioned. They have nothing to hide from you at all. They enjoy showing off their home, other pets, kids, ect. They are responsible people.

Answer 3

theres no need to do any ting because the mother cat has an extinkt to keep her kittens safe. just feed the mother cat and let her do what ever she needs to. also supervise her and her kittens to see how they are doing. she will of coarse have milk to feed them, but make sure each kitten has a nipple to suck on. also dont worry about anything because it is rare for a mother cat to need help. if a kitten doesnt have a nipple to suck on then take it to the vet by tring to keep the kitten warm in a blanket and make sure that the mother cat knows that the kitten is safe with you. the vet will subscribe bottle feeding. so all im saying is that you have nothing to worry about because a problem is rare and also the mother cat will do most of the job. all you need to do is supervize and give lots of love and prey for the best for the kittens.

Answer 4

You don't need to do anything for the momma will take care of everything just fine on her own. Just give them their privacy.
Do you realize that for every 1 person born, there are 7 puppies and kittens
born? At best, 1 will find a forever home.
And don't forget, that every "Free-to-good-home" litter takes homes away
from animals already at the shelter.

STOP letting your pets; or your friends, relatives or co-workers pets
contribute to the problem.
If you love animals, it is NOT ENOUGH to merely say "My pets are fixed".
Vow to educate and enable others to fix their pets too.
Spaying just 1 female dog or cat, will prevent 6 others from ending up in a
shelter the following year.
Please be part of the solution, NOT the problem!
Thank you. ^..^

Answer 5

You don't have to do anything if the mother is taking care of her kittens. If she cleaned them and is feeding them she should be fine. If she doesn't want any part of them you can try and put the kittens on her.

If she is looking after them I would leave her alone for a bit. Sometimes the mother will try and hide her kittens or even kill them if she feels threatened.

It's hard to answer your question as you didn't give very many details.

Good luck

Answer 6

Bless your heart, but normally momma cat does everything... your presence is not really needed unless there's trouble, which is RARE indeed. Do not attempt to handle the bew born kittens as momma cat may reject them becuse of the transfer of your scent on them. Just check in on momma cat now and again and make sur that she and her kittens are left in peace, that the place they are in is warm (no drafts), dry and cosy. Give momma cat as much food as she likes and provide plenty of fresh water. In 2 to 3 weeks, momma cat may allow you to handle her kittens (within her sight of course). If you do it any earlir, she may reject them ot move them to a place very inaccessible to you.

Congrats for being a kitty grandma! hmmm... wich I had some kittens to fuss with

Answer 7

What you should do is make a little bed for the kittens like in a hamper or something all so the last thing is do not lrt the male cat go near the kittens or he will eat the kittens.

good luck with the kittens!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

Leave food and water for the mother and don't bother her and don't touch the kittens unless she trusts you enough!!! Thats all you can do is let nature take its course!!! I'm sure they'll be fine!!!!

Answer 9

Whatever you do, do NOT touch the kittens. Let the mother cat handle them. If you touch them, your scent may get on them, 'causing her to reject the kittens.

Answer 10

Just feed mama cat enough and she will take care of the kitties.
