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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

if this is the case, then you should contact a vet. When the mother gives birth to the kittens and she doesnt want them, then you really have to help the kitten by actually cleaning it yourself. You do this by taking a washcloth and wipe its face and try to get its mouth so it can breathe. If the mom doesnt eat the sac either, you would have to break it and the cord. But this is usually not the case.

Mothers usually care about their babies, and besides they would usually cut the cord because they don't want it attached to them, so you wouldn't have to worry about that part. But, again, if it doesnt do anything, you have to do the moms work and clean it.

Answer 3

if the mother isn't doing its job the way it should be, then you should actually keep an eye on those kittens. But usually the mother tries to make the cat independent by making it do things on its own. If the kitten is like 5 weeks old, then its okay because that's the way it should be. But if it is younger, then you should check in, and see if the kittens are being fed and are behaving.

Answer 4

if your cat doesent deliver all her kittens you need to take it to the vets because they might be to big to be born so the cat might have to have an operation to get them out.
