Ok I have put off posting this. We found out about 2 weeks before Bella was suppose to be spayed that she was pregnant. We asked them to abort as she was only a little more than 6 months old at our and the vet's guesstimation. They refused. They told us they only aborted if the mother cat's life was in danger and they did not see that at the moment. We have no where to put her inside. I wish we did. I live with my brother in law, father in law and husband. We have 3 animals inside now including Phoenix the rescue we got last March. Phoenix hates Bella and would make her life help. We thought about a large crate too but there is simply no room anywhere. We don't have a garage, basement, attic or spare room. Anyway enough history.
Bella took matters into her own paws so to speak and found a very secure place to give birth. It is under our terrace. The issue is we cannot get under there. The terrace is only about 1 foot off the ground. We live in a duplex. The guy that lives upstairs has the garage but due to family situation he and the dog live in the garage hence not being able to keep her and the babies there. So we went down and asked if we could see if we could reach the babies through a small window there. Not possible. Bella has then in a small outcropping where the window is but to the far side and the window is not big enough to get through or to reach them. They are all alive and doing well. There are 4. A blue one, a blue and white, a black and white and the littliest one a black one.
What I need to know is what can we do to make sure Bella is getting enough nutrients? I was thinking I should put her on Royal Canin kitten formula (kibble) cause it is higher in protein and fat. Would this be a good idea? Also is there anything else I should do. It seems until she is ready the kittens are going to have to stay where they are cause no one can get to them. So until she is ready to bring them out we are stuck. We will be checking in on them through the small window in the 'apartment' garage of the guy that lives here.
Please advise.
Thanks so much.
Michelle, Bella & babies.
