Sarafina had her babies. new pictures.

[Catty1]

Gosh, I HOPE so! Can Charlie check on them at all?

I hope she starts to nurse them.

The litter box....being so young I wonder if she responded to the contractions by going to the litter box? I've heard of the occasional young mom cat being confused.

Prayers that the MOM instinct kicks in soon.

Sounds as though she could use your help. What about putting the weaker ones with the other mother cat? Would she accept them as her own? Yikes.

[Medusa]

Oh boy, that doesn't sound good. Hopefully the babies are ok; maybe she instinctively knows something. My Pidge came to me when she was in labor and she had 3 kittens, two of them stillborn and the other she refused to have anything to do with and it died w/in hours. This may not be the same thing but you might have Charlie watch them during the night if you can't. I hope everything is ok and that Sarafina is just a confused mom.

[Catty1]

gosh, Jen - there is a PTr near you, isn't there? Sheesh, can't recall her name....darn it!

Get the bottles warmed up....

PT PRAYERS for Serafina and her babies!

Good luck babies, we are all rooting for you! Hope Sarafia figures out what she is suppose to do! Prayers for the babies and their Mom.

Why not try to have Angelica help them out, since she is there and just had kittens too. I mean, they do do that, take kittens from other litters and nurse. If she doesn't want anything to do with them, I'd definitely try Angelica, so they at least get a better shot at surviving.

Sorry to worry everyone. But I am glad to report that all SIX babies are doing fine this morning. She had #6 late last night. (I did check on her during the night at a "potty break") She still did not clean the afterbirth, but she cared for the baby and that's all that mattered.

I am 100% ready to bottle feed any if she doesn't have enough mild or working nipples.

And I actually DID try Angelica as a foster mom immediately when I though Sarafina was disinterested, but Angelica just ignored them. She may have taken them on in time, but I was afraid to just leave them with her. So I coaxed Sarafina and am glad I did.

thanks for the prayers, I am certain they are what helped her through the night,.

Glad to hear things are starting to get better.

Come on Sarafina... we know you didn't want to be a mommy... but you need to help your babies! Don't worry sweetie, you'll never have to do this again!!
