It is good that you are planning what to do for your cat and her babies. Everyone has given you good advice.... You will want to make sure that your momcat has a place to have her kittens away from the male that got her pregnant. Newborn kittens do not smell like cats to cats and some males (even those who are o.k. with older kittens) may try to hurt the babies (thinking they are strangely delivered food). This doesn't make the male bad... just confused, so make sure your girl has a safe space away from all other cats.

Sometimes young females that have not seen other kittens raised don't really know how to be moms, so monitor her to see that she is feeding and cleaning the babies.

I grew up in farm country where kittens were welcomed working members of the community. When the area changed, my cats became de-sexed house pets...mostly to keep them safe from idiot humans. Kittens are beautiful and watching them grow is a delight, but as everyone has already told you, finding good safe homes for kittens and cats is really hard.

Two of my cats, Captain and Artemis are products of a person who had so much fun with her accidental kittens, she let her cat have another litter and then could find no homes...(so I took two and my friend took one before she took them to be put to sleep. We also found a home for the female which a vet friend spayed at a discount.) Sometimes it is very hard to afford all the care my animals need so adding these two (although never regretted) was not easy.

By coming to this site it is clear you care about your cat. Enjoy her and her "blessings". Catmandu has given you good kitten box tips. Most cats have little trouble giving birth if they are well-fed and big enough. A vet trip will let you know if she is likely to be at risk or not.

Again, good wishes on this.
