Reply #15: Since you are moving...take her too [View All]

She will probably do fine.. Expect 4 or 5 kittens.. If she has had them before, she will be ok.. Has she had kittens before when you "knew her"??


The box prepared for her, may not be where she chooses to have them.. If you make sure she is fed and has water , she will stay close by.. Make sure she can get away from any dogs..(behind a gated fence).. The other cats will probably not mess with her or her kittens.
.
You can intervene and make sure the kittens are tame (so you can take them to petSmart for adoption).. Get her fixed A S A P or you will get back on the kitten merry-go-round..

The best thing would be to secure her in a separate room (maybe the laundry room.. she will use a litter box..and if the kittens are there too, she won't leave.. She may "move" them if they are picked up too much though..(unless she really trusts you)..

If you keep her inside, she will be healthier and safer.. She might not have any desire to return to the "old place" is she has everything she needs with you :)


Kittens are portable, (if you can find them all).. You might get a large dog crate (like we did) to secure them in while they get used to their surroundings..

Things will work out.. don't worry.. Are yoou in So Cal?? You could use our crate if you are ..:)
