Fostering Pregnant Cat! Tips Needed!
Hello!
My grandma lives on a farm in central texas, and she has a ton of farm cats running around. one of them ended up getting pregnant, and my grandma is not in good shape to take care of her, so my mother had decided to drive 8 hours to go pick her up and bring her home so we can foster her.
I have grown up with cats my entire life, but we have never dealt with a pregnant cat before. I am a bit worried. My grandma said that the vet estimates that the cat will give birth in less than a week to 4-6 kittens.
I am also worried that the cat will be anxious. She is essentially being dropped into a completely new home by herself and giving birth in a completely new environment.
We have two other male cats, ages 1 and 10, both neutered.
I am sure I can google all the information I need, but I would prefer to hear from experienced cat owners. How can I keep this new kitty and her kittens comfortable? How will the birthing process go? How should I prepare? Any tips would be helpful. thank you
