SPCA = put to sleep. I rather leave it alone. As least still got chance to survive.

DrAlienology SG

leave it to the SPCA.

although the mother might get put to sleep, at least the little ones still have a chance to live in a sheltered place or get adopted.

royston_ang SG

And the small ones also got chance to be put to sleep too. Rolling Eyes

vis-sky SG

cat which just give birth will be weak and will not have appetite to eat.. BUT will crave for drink.. u should give her some hot condense milk… she will drink it

vis-sky SG

hey how is the cat ??

Wanda SG

This kind of rubbish advice will sure kill the kittens almost immediately.

rainee SG

She seems to be doing fine le...maybe just lethargic for a day nia...now seems to be walking around and meowing at me evtime she saw me, to ask me to feed her with more fishes Laughing

aHGer^83 SG

all the posts her make me laff...

anyway, rainee, feed it when u can lor... put a bowl of fresh water outside ur door?
no SPCA in m'sia?? i wld be surprise if there is one...
but rainee, u r a rare breed.. i mean taking care of strays in m'sia...
since u say it's pretty active now, just try to ease her burden lor.. dun disturb the kittens unnecessarily unless the mother cat trust u enuff for u to even carry her...
feed milk to the kittens.. but WITH timing.... they are still strays afterall.... unless u intend to keep them...
feed canned cat food and dry food (DO NOT FEED WHISKAS.) to the mother cat WITH timing too...unless u intend to keep the whole family....

wad i mean "unless u plan to keep them" and "WITH timing" :-
if u got no intention of keeping them, feed them once or maximum twice daily... the rest of the day, let them go stray somewhr else...

but if u wanna keep them... make sure u r ready for the stray family... Wink

oh and milk.. if u are not very specific kinda person.. any milk will do.. BUT lactose will hurt them... as in they will keep on lao sai...
i wld recommend u to go petshop n buy those pet's milk for the kittens n mother... Wink

rainee SG

thanks for the tips Very Happy

No, I can't keep the cats inside my house as my parents will definitely scold me to no end, they dun like to keep pets indoor Sad

So far have been feeding her with fishes, but the kitties are too young and cannot eat yet...how come cannot feed with whiskas?

aHGer^83 SG

in long term, the ingredients they use to make Whiskas with, will grow stones in the cats....
same as the dog brand... Pedigree.... it was all over in the news some yrs back... and that time i didn't know.. we fed my 1st kitty with Whiskas for he's life... went to vet, got stones inside.. and he passed away... Confused
Whiskas n Pedigree is cheap.. very cheap... and good food don't come cheap...
tho 99% of the human race feed strays with Pedigree and Whiskas...
they they are strays anyway... Rolling Eyes

i wld recommend Science Diet if u plan to "keep" the cat family... "keep" as in long term feed them.... Science Diet is not as cheap as Whiskas... but the cheapest of the better dry food... Wink
fish also can lah...
the kitties, like i said, get those milk specially for pets in pet shop... when the kitties are abt 6 mths old, they are ready for fishy... Razz

Zarks SG

U try get a dog infront of her… she will be back as normal..

<Precious> SG

No, very young kittens need to drink specialily-formulated milk and fed with a miniature milk bottle as they are too young to know how to lap the milk up with their tongues. The milk powder is available from pet shops but is rather costly.

See if you can send the mother to a vet though its medical cost will be a problem. SPCA will prolly just put the mother and its babies down...... Sad Sad Sad

rainee SG

ic...nah i dun have money to buy all the dry and instant food for cats lolz...so dats why just buy the fishes..

aHGer^83 SG

ok... just the fish is good enuff... Wink

Herzog_Zwei SG

Boss, a vet taught me that a nong nong time ago.

Herzog_Zwei SG

Rainee jie got no $$$ for keeping all the kittens lah. Got to buy milk bottle and rubber teat for them. Milk and butter is the cheapest short term solution I can think of, unless you can figure a better way.

rainee SG

What to start with? During the first two days you should add two tea-spoons warm milk to the ration of food of the kittens. Cow milk is not the most appropriate. It is better to use dry milk with average butter content, that to be diluted with warm water and a little honey or a pinch of sugar to be added. Milk is poured with a tea-spoon directly into the kittens mouth. During the next days the ration of food is increased in the following way: 3rd -4th day - one tea-spoon twice a day; 5th-7th day - one tea-spoon three times a day;8th -10th day - one tea-spoon four times a day. During the last days dry milk is diluted to the consistence of mash and it is served in a plate to the kittens in order to teach them to lick food on their own.

Average butter content leh...sourced it from here
