idk.. But ive done it before. as an owner of 9 cats, 5 dogs, and 7 parrots, (62 fish) and a koi fish, I would suppose so. Just ask the vet first I would assume you should for the safety of your pet.

What if a cat doesn't deliver all her kittens?

Well you would have three choices. Choice one is to "put him/her down". Choice two is to take care of the kittens like a mother cat would. This means to feed them with a syringe and kitten formula, and use a wet rag to wipe their rear ends every hour. Choice three is that you take the kittens to your nearest animal shelter.Another Answer:I feel very strongly that the first choice is to put the cat down. There is NO reason for this whatsoever! Many first-time mothers get confused and it is not uncommon for her to reject the kittens, especially if the mother is young herself. Cats that are allowed to breed too young (younger than 1 year old) are at a higher risk of not looking after her kittens. Other reasons could be that the mother views the kittens as weak, or is stressed, or ill in some way. This is no reason to put an animal down, as it is not the fault of the animal at all.There is one choice that is not covered by the first answer, and that is to find another nursing cat (or a few) to take one some or all of the kittens until they are weaned. This method has a much higher success rate of the kittens surviving than being hand-reared by humans.Taking the kittens to an animal shelter and asking if they, or know anyone that has a nursing Queen is highly recommended. Failing that, the shelter or a vets will be able to instruct you on how to hand-rear kittens, or contact someone who is knowledgeable in hand-rearing.
