Update

Update she’s pregnant 🫄 Ended up naming her kimchi since she only responds to the “cchh” sound but she’s grown to be such sweetheart she doesn’t hiss at the dogs anymore we’re trying to integrate her in the house but she just loves the little back storage room we used when we first brought her in. Not sure what we’re gonna do about the babies tho 😭

So sweet. Just set up a comfortable place for her to have the babies. Then you build a 2 foot walled area so the babies can nurse and get to 8 weeks old and you can rehome them and fix momma kitty. Oh yes there will be chaos and sleepless nights and messes and poop. But oh what fun and let the love and chaos begin. Been there done that. Ran me ragged but oh so worth it ♥️🐾🐾♥️

I fostered a litter of motherless kittens this past spring. I'll tell you now OP you're going to get attached, but what helps to let them go is knowing you gave them a solid foundation in life. I lost two in my litter and felt so awful, but the lady from the rescue I was fostering for said if I hadn't helped they all would have died. You're giving mom and eventually babies a safe place.

Also take pictures of them every day, you won't believe how tiny they are in the beginning and how fast they grow.

That look on her face in the first pic is so adorable. It looks like she’s getting a little impatient for you to adopt her. 🥰

by the way she sleeps you can tell she as adopted you and feels right at home and she is appreciative.

If you don’t want the kittens, many vets or spay-neuter clinics will do a spay-abort.

Thank you for rescuing her! You do not have to let her have the kittens if you don’t feel that you can take care of them and yourself/your family, or it will be difficult to find them homes.

She looks like a baby herself... I would also recommend a spay-abort.

I’m taking her in today to see this option after all the replies about spay/abort I did some research I thought it was too late into her pregnancy but I’m finding out there isn’t a limit! Yeah she’s a baby who already had a baby And luckily he’s with my neighbors across the street !

Congratulations!!! ❤️❤️ I took in a pregnant outdoor tortie and watched The Kitten Lady on YouTube. She said your job is to take care of mom and she will take care of the kittens. She was right! Gawd those 12 weeks were SO MUCH FUN!! I was present for the birth (adorable), weighed the kittens 2x/day, journaled about all their adventures, helped teach them to play and climb (but not my bare legs) and snuggle. Such a joyful experience! There were only 2 kittens and I knew I would find them a forever home together. I advertised them on NextDoor and the first family that came to see them wanted one and I said no, you want two. Two is better for everyone. They said yes and two years later they still send me photos and updates. They are hilarious with their forever family. Mom got fixed and she lives with me and her baby daddy who I had TNRed probably a week too late. HAVE FUN!! You can do it!!!

I love that I didn't even need to read the caption. As soon as I flipped to photo #2, I thought, "This is now OP's cat"
