raising these kittens proved to be too much, where can I take them?

Question

where they will be loved and cared for?
I don't want to get rid of them but I feel like it's too big a task for me to take care of them.
I've been feeding them formula, as they are 3 days old & the momma ran away.
I tried looking for a serrogate momma cat, to no avail.
where would be a place I could take them?
could I just drop them at the vets or does it have to be someplace in particular?

Answer 2

I had a wonderful cat named Dottie and she had 2 kittens and then 24 hours later she had one dead on and a runt. She never showed any distress so I thought she was only going to have two and then the next morning there were two more. But she got very sick and I took her to the emergency, the runt kitty also was not eating and cold and limp so I was feeding her formula, and then when the mom went to emergency I was feeding all three and the runt was cold and I could not keep her warm enough without her mom. We rushed back to the emergency but she died a couple hours latter. And then the mommy cat died and I had these two kittens and I was so sad. I asked the vet to find someone who would take them. You can also check with the vet to see if someone has a cat that just had kittens because she will be able to feed them also. I know it is too much to handle.

Answer 3

I just tried getting more info about the 1 kitten you were have problems with.
But yes you can take them to a vet. You can also call the animal shelter where they have Foster parents to take care of them. There also should be a rescue place in your town or near by. I would search them web starting by entering your town
I don't blame you, I would want to take them somewhere safe and a good place too!!! wow good luck
I will still try getting your another "Q " answered tomorrow.

Answer 4

A vet would be the best choice I'd imagine. They are equipped for situations like yours. Otherwise I would contact your local shelter and ask them what you can do. Or a rescue. I have bottle feed a litter of eight before and it is alot to handle. I was lucky I had my mom to help with the rotation of feeding shifts. We managed to do it though and didn't loose even one. Another time we had a litter of four, we managed to save 3 of them. If you aren't up to the task, for what ever reason you are doing the best thing for them by trying to find a safe place for them. If you do decide you can handle it, I can tell you it's a very rewarding experience and the kittens are the most loving you can imagine since to them you are mom. What ever you decide best of luck to you and best wishes!

Answer 5

Try to find an ASPCA/SPCA shelter in your local phone book. If you can't find one. Here is a website that might be able to help.

Those shelters to care and shelter animals or find foster homes for them until they can be adopted; they never "euthanize" them. Most counties have an animal control shelter for stray cats and dogs, but terminate them after a few days if they are not claimed and not equipped for "special needs" like the unweened kittens and just likely to euthanize them.

http://www.catsunited.com/html/spca.html

Many of the people that "foster" animals for ASPCA are animal lovers and some very adept at caring for "special needs" like the little kitten you have or may have a mama cat that will "adopt" them until they are weened.

Answer 6

Ask around or check your phone book for cat rescue organizations. They should be able to find someone to foster the kittens until they are ready to be adopted.

Answer 7

if you cant stand it any longer some vets will find homes for them or an animal sanctuary but if you can feed them till they are 2 months old you will be their hero because not all places they end up will be good places hope i helped good luck!

Answer 8

This is why its a good idea to spay/neuter your pets...
Please take them to a vet or surrender them to the nearest pet shelter... make sure they know how to take care of kittens..

Answer 9
