Re: Pregnant Feral Kitty....Questions
i concur...that just makes good sense. mama kitty was pregnant with 12 (yes TWELVE) babies when she decided she would live here. i wouldn't trade all the time i had with her for anything in this world. she had them on my porch. all of her babies were negative too. when it came time to deliver - she didn't want me to go inside -- i stayed up all night with her. she turned out to be the best mommy ever. elizabeth On 4/15/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would hold off on both until after the babies are born, unless you think the worms are so bad she is in danger of dying from them.

Re: Pregnant Feral Kitty....Questions
I totally agree but watch the kittens closely for signs of worms. It won't take much to kill the kittens if they do catch them. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

Re: Pregnant Feral Kitty....Questions
I wouldn't even consider vaccinating her until after the babies are weaned. Vaccines weaken the body and, in her condition, even just a little could be too much. Check with a really good vet re worming. Without firm evidence that she had worms I wouldn't. How far along is she?

I'm going to trap her and put her on my back porch so she can tame down. Also have her babies safely. She is just a tiger strip kitty and very small. I have named her Little Girl My question is Can she be wormed? Do you recommend she be vaccinated before or after the birth of the kittens? I use Heska...it is intra nasal vaccination on my cats. I've never had any problems with it. I can tell she wants to be friendly with me. I can get about 2 feet from her and drop some food down. I back off and she eats it up. I have been feeding her with my other Feral kitties. I normally wouldn't ask these questions but never had a pregnant kitty either that lived outside that is feral. I can tell she is a baby herself she is under a year old at the most maybe 7-9 months old. I will get her spayed for free after the babies are born. So as you can see I'm clueless on this! Thanks for your help in this matter.

Re: Pregnant Feral Kitty....Questions
Don't vaccinate while pregnant or nursing. I have a mom and babies in a foster home right now -- mom found in a field with 2 week old babies and taken to the shelter, where I pulled her. We've already lost two of the four babies. Just found out yesterday that the shelter vet gave mom the FVRCP and rabies vaccines before releasing her. I am sure this stress on top of everything else is why we're losing kittens. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:In a message dated 4/14/2007 11:53:14 A.M.
