There are many websites about pregnancies and cats, and what to expect. I do a LOT of rescuing, and sometimes have had to help abandoned mom cats birth babies if they come out breach (back legs first). And sometimes new mom cats won't chew off the placenta and umbilical cords, in which case you will need to know how to do that too. I rescued a litter of babies a while back (six babies & mom) from behind bushes in a dirt hole. I couldn't see the kittens the bush was so thick, but I reached in a pulled out a clump of babies. Took them all home and went to settle mom & her babies in, and found mom didn't chew off the umbilical cords on 5 of the 6! At that point the cords and placentas were dried out and impossible to separate the screaming babies so off to the vets. Two kittens legs had swollen up and turned black. Luckily with warm soaks and massage the kittens feet recovered and they didn't lose legs! Here's what the newborn babies foot looked like!

And after they were all separated, they were tucked in with mommy Marigold

All were spayed and neutered before they were adopted...very important to do as too many accidental litters are born and 3 out of 4 kittens never find a forever home.
