New Puppy and Cat has given Birth to 2 kittens

Accidents happen.

Yes they do, but they don't have to happen and this happened only because of irresponsibility. IMO, if we are going to own pets it is our responsibility to have them fixed unless they are show animals, the breeding stock of responsible breeders, or have a health condition prohibiting being under anesthesia for spaying, etc. Otherwise, it is just irresponsbility nothing more and it saddens me to think of SO many animals each day living in cages at the shelters only to be put to sleep unloved and unhomed, because of irresponsibility. I haven't said anything up to now, have been tempted, but I feel badly none the less that the ideas of many that accidents happen but they CAN be prevented and so many wouldn't have to die. It's not the relatively few animals responsible breeders put out that causes the problems, it's the irresponsible owners who don't do the right thing to insure OOPS litters aren't born. Not picking on you Breanna, just used your statement as a base for what I wanted to say.

I take back my accidents happen after I read the whole thread again.
Roxy, beautiful, lovable, Roxy was one of those oops litters who ended up at the shelter, and then she was going to be put to sleep that day if we hadn't adopted her. Have you looked at all those beautiful cats sitting in shelters, that you know wont get homes, just because everyone wants a kitten?
