My dad is elderly and never had pets. A few weeks ago a cat moved into his shed and this week she gave birth to kittens. I convinced him to let me put a house out there for them and I've been feeding them. Mum is feeding the babies well but is only a kitten herself. Poor girl. I've been careful not to touch or move the babies.
I've ring every rescue locally and they're all full. There's no room for mum or her babies. Whilst it's warm she's in her outdoor house with food and blankets. I'm worried about the cold weather and also about her getting pregnant again. How soon can she be spayed? I know if she wanders she'll be pg again. The kittens can't stay in the small outdoor house forever and I'm panicking about getting them housed.
I have a rescue cat who is anxious and stressy. I'd love to adopt the mum cat but firstly I don't think I could afford another set of insurance fees, but I'm also slightly worried about my own rescue cat.
Does anyone have any advice? Should I be doing anything for the mum and her babies other than leaving food water out for mum and making sure they're warm and safe? I'm so so tempted to adopt mum once her babies are settled in homes. I can't sleep thinking of the poor girl, she's just a baby herself and she's had babies before according to others in the area.
