How to handle feral mama cats with kittens - TinyKittens.com

How to handle feral mama cats with kittens - TinyKittens.com When caring for feral mama cats, we use special nesting boxes and tailor our approach to each cat's individual personality and needs. Once you understand them, handling feral mamas and their kittens is pretty easy!

During the first three weeks, we handle kittens daily (or more, if necessary) in order to weigh them and ensure they are thriving. With the feral kittens especially, we often see problems in the first week of life that require intervention on our part (supplemental feeding, warming, meds), which is why it is essential to be able to safely access and handle them.

We trapped pregnant feral cats Serenity and Nelia so they could give birth somewhere safe for the last time. In the wild, only 25% of kittens survive due to predators, disease, injury, weather and starvation, which is why it's so important to spay and neuter. See updates and links below:

UPDATE APR 22: Feral mama Serenity gave birth for the last time to four beautiful kittens: 1) ginger boy, 2) black boy, 3) tabby girl with dramatic eyeliner, 4) tuxie girl. So far, kittens are nursing and appear healthy. All palates have passed inspection. :)

UPDATE APR 21: Two of Suri's kittens (Snap and Dora) joined Nelia's crew today to see if she will take over their care. (She did, she's a GREAT mama). Suri is another feral mama from the same colony.

UPDATE APR 3: Nelia gave birth to four beautiful kittens via emergency c-section - Atlas, Rhea, Gaia and Orion. Sadly, on April 7th, we lost little Gaia due to heart failure.

We trapped the girls from a feral colony with nearly 300 cats, where we have Trap-Neuter-Returned (TNR) or adopted about 90% of the cats:

If you love having kittens underfoot, please spay and neuter your own cats and become a foster parent instead! That way, you'll be saving lives instead of contributing to the cat overpopulation crisis!
