Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Advice requested from the Queen o' Kitty-dom. Or anyone else, as long as it's good advice... So I have two indoor cats, and one outdoor cat - feral and "fixed." About three weeks ago a stranger showed up - really small, barely out of kittenhood; looked to be maybe ten weeks old, wobbly and and starvation-skinny. Okay... I'll feed her for a couple weeks then take 'er in for the "fix." Then about a week ago, she suddenly looked like she'd swallowed an orange. And now, this "kitten" has four kittens of her own - on my screened-in front porch. I do NOT need five more cats!! So whaddo I do now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 You have a big heart too....... Same kinda thing happened to me. Wait until they're weaned, then take mama in. I'm not sure where you're located, but there is a no kill cat rescue organization in the Parlier area. https://www.cathouseonthekings.com/ If they can't take them, maybe they can recommend a place that can. Good luck and please post pictures. Kittens are soooooo cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Mom seems to be doin' her job. Wonderin' if she needs any sort of supplemental food...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Aww! Feed the mom and she will take care of the littles. I too have heard of The Cat House on the Kings. Wonderful place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 A good nationally recognized brand of cat chow is sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 If you were here I would recommend a friend. He's an Air Force vet, was a veterinarian inMontana, Kansas, and Idaho working with big animals and small, a real he-man sort of guy (not at all the kind of guy that you'd expect to be soft hearted)....and he fosters cats. Has a big house on the north west side of Prescott and at any given time he has two or three adult "tenants", some with kittens, living in one of his bathrooms. A place called the Catty Shack keeps him and several other people supplied with cats until they can find homes for them. They provide spay and neuter services and get them all their shots, he buys their food. I don't understand it but he's as happy as if he had good sense. Good luck.

Chas B. Wolfson, SASS #11104 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Recently found this one in the attic. With the temperature in Phoenix right now she is lucky to be alive. Very active and healthy now. She had the lousy eye infection in her right eye. All cleared up and scar tissue receding. We named her Sabrina.

bgavin Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 A Chinese restaurant? I'm such a sucker for orphan cats and chinchillas, as so many need good homes. I constantly have to hold myself in check, or I would be overrun with 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
