    Since you have allergies and asthma and cannot keep the mama and her kittens in the house for too long, than I would STRONGLY suggest that you start looking for a non-kill shelter or rescue center right now.

    It's nice that you want to help this cat, but in the long run, you will do her no good or her kittens, when you put them back outside, especially since they will not be spayed or neutered. Kittens stay with their mother for a good 8 weeks. Are you able to keep them inside for that long???? If not, then please do as AbbyMom stated in her post, as this would be the best thing to do.

    OR is there a mild medication you can take until the kittens are born and ready to move on? Would a surgical mask help? Ionizing air filter in the room? Ask your doctor, maybe

    The rescue in my town (at my moms) is a no kill shelter. I have volenteered there, and from what I see they do get lots of attention. Maybe we will take them to that shelter once they are 8 weeks, but I'm hoping we can keep a kitten. (and fix it) Thanks so much for the replies.

    I already take two medicines a day, just because I'm allergic to pillows, carpet, and stuffed animals (from dust). I can't take much more that will help. My mom doesn't agree that we should bring her in, but then again she doesn't live there.

    I talked to my dad and Oreo is inside! I thought he'd say no but surprisingly he said yes right away. We are calling the humane society when they are born to tell them we are bringing in the kittens when they are 8 weeks old. Thanks for all the help!

    I also have a couple questions about litter box training the babies. Oreo was really easy to litter box train when she was only 6 weeks old, never made one mistake. Is it just as easy to teach younger kittens? I know I'm not supposed to buy clumping cat litter but it says you can buy scoopable. What's the difference? Any brands you suggest?

    I can't remember what I used for the kittens cat litter.When you go to buy it....someone at the pet store will know what's safe or ask the vet.
