I need your input. A Mama cat left her baby`s under the crawl space, under the house. I can hear the babies crying. It`s got me worried sick. I have been watching for the Mama cat, but she has not come home for 2 days now. What should I do? Should I put food under the house until Mama cat comes home? I` m not getting any sleep over this. Plus to top it off I had the chase the coons away from the den last night. I think the meowing is making coons come. Any input would be great!
Listen to ldy she is sincere and I agree. Everything works out for God's good purposeeven for kittens. It sounds like you found out how compassionate you are and I say, there are always two kittens in need of being rescued. We are here practicing to be angels anyway, so go get two fluffy little bits of heaven that do need you and the inspiration true. So finish what you started. Healing for your sadness is rescue. It was in your heart and now you know you are ready! God Bless you. Your goodwill tells me He already has!!! Love-In-Christ, You are on my prayer list now. Receive the gifts of comfort from the light of love.
6-21-09 @ 7:36pm. Good Evening Friends, The two babies that had to be put down, there blood test came back. They were FIP positive. I hope I didnt bring anything into my home and make Tommy and Miss Kitty sick. Can my kids get sick because of this?
Hi, Fish! Just log onto the internet and do a search for Feline FIP to read all about it. It is spread from Queen to kitten, so there is no risk of infection to your indoor cats who were never in contact with the kittens under the house. Google the disease to see what the experts say. Your other babies will be just fine!
hi fish. a cat who needs you will be guided to you again and be lucky he did so. i know it will be hard not to worry next time you hear a kitten crying under your house, but you just have to forgive yourself, trust your judgement and look forward to being a grandparent again. i am sorry your babies and mama are gone.
Whenever we had a Feral Cat have her babies on our property we keep an eye on them... Usually keep an eye on any unknown four-legged that is in the vicinity. BUT if there is one who is visibly preg we will set out extra food/ fresh water (even tho we are rural and there are fox, coyotes, racoons and such- hopefully the preggo ones will get the extra nutrition they need)
I will back up a bit and say it would be so much better, and much more joyful for all involved if these abandoned cats/dog had been spayed or neutered so they would not be bringing in yet another unwanted brood of kittnes, puppies to die horrible deaths such as starvation, or hit by vehicles,
I don't really think there are Dieties 'plan' or 'acceptable' that have an unwanted / unmanageable feral pet population that is subject to illness, injury, starvation or other slow and painful deaths. This is a very human problem, we domesticated them we must take some responsibility.
So get your pets spayed or neutered, keep an eye on what is going on on your acreage if a farm or in the citys, even Feral cats need routine exams and innoculations as per your county's laws.
Also before you decide to rescue a brood of kittens, protect your hands/arms/face from scratches- there is an illness Cat Scratch Fever which can be devastating. And have someone to help, have a pen ready to put them in as you don't want to have to try to herd cats. (and possibly lose one in that process)
Also before you take them into your home, a visit to the vet might be your first on the list to check for fleas/ticks or other pests, and general health and advisement on the next step or steps.
