Stillborn :'(

17 Days to 50

We were heading to bed last night. Sweetie was doing a last check around the house when he saw a kitten beside the driver door of the car. It wasn't moving. Little Grey probably left it there and hid under the shelf with her other kittens.

Sweetie called Miggy to verify the state of the kitten. It was stillborn. I quickly did some research to understand what to do next. It was already past midnight and no nearby vet would be open. We observed Little Grey, she was okay and even ate a bit. The boys buried the kitten in the garden.

We've been observing Little Grey the whole day. She only comes out to eat. Miggy and I cooked cat food last night, so all the cats could have broth and freshly cooked healthy food. We hope it will help Little Grey recover faster.

Two? Or Three?

18 Days to 50

We are not sure if Little Grey has two or three kittens. She squeezed herself in a Goldilocks roll tray (yes that small!). The tray had some of my gardening tools and we were worried for her.

We knew she was stressed already from giving birth and tending to her newborns. She wouldn't move from the small space, so we made a contraption to feed her. We're also making homemade cat food, so she can have broth.

Miggy and I worked on moving some stuff around where she was. I noticed she kept looking at the gap and realized she dropped one of the kittens. As soon as we removed the umbrellas she immediately went down to look for her kitten. While she was away we took the opportunity to remove the gardening tools and moved the other kitten to the crate.

We left her alone to rearrange the kittens. We thought she'd move them to the crate, but she moved the under the shelf! Arghhh. We re-positioned the box and hopefully she'll use it as a nest. We're just really not so knowledgeable yet with caring for cats.

The kittens look chonky and healthy. We'll let Little Grey adjust as needed. It's been raining and we don't want to scare her since she might bring the kittens to an unsafe space.
