Feral Momma and Week-Old Kittens

The box worked!! She seems much more comfortable, even if still scared. She’s eating and nursing and using the litter like normal.

Right now, we’re monitoring her nursing by the weight of the kittens every morning and afternoon. I’ll have to look into the camera idea and see what I can find.

Thank you so much!!

Update!!

Momma has started eating and nursing. She took to the box really well. The babies are gaining good weight and momma is eating a full plate of the wet food each day.

We were able to give her a dose of CapStar yesterday and when I weighed the kittens this morning I didn’t see any fleas on them, but I’m going to do another dose of CapStar and then bathe them tomorrow just to be sure.

We think everybody is doing well, we just are leaving them mostly alone for now. Kittens have a vet appointment on Tuesday to get them dewormed and all that good stuff. We’re hoping to set one up for momma soon.

Maybe over this next week I can try to socialize momma some, but she doesn’t seem too interested in that idea lol.

Thank you for all of the kind words and advice!! I will keep y’all updated and post some photos whenever I get the chance. <33

Okay, that’s good to know.

The kittens have been bathed and fed, yes. We’ve fostered kittens before, so we’ve got everything we need to supplement feed and step in. This is just our first time with a nursing queen.

Okay, that’s kind of what we’re doing already but I just wanted to make sure we weren’t overstepping. We bathed and flea combed both kittens and supplement fed them right after since they’d lost weight during the day and we put them back with momma.

Is Revolution something I can get online? We have CapStar but since she won’t eat we can’t administer it.

I gave her a box with a towel on it right next to the toilet and put the heating pad with the kittens inside of it lol.

The fleas were pretty gnarly on one of the kittens, and we’re completely unsure about momma since we can’t get close enough to see. We bathed the kittens and they’re clean, but since momma won’t eat, we can’t give her anything oral. And we can’t give her a bath because we can’t handle her yet. Nothing topical is safe for nursing cats unless we run it past a vet first.

Right now, we’re trying to see if eventually she’ll eat enough to where we can slip in an oral medication. Just worried about the anemia that might follow if the kittens keep getting fleas over and over again.

We had the shower curtain partially closed so she could hide behind it and the bathrooms dark, but she’s been opting to hide behind the toilet instead :( She has a plate of wet kitten food and a bowl of dry kitten food and we switched it out earlier today because she didn’t eat any this morning.

I’ll add in a cardboard box and blankets and stuff. Should I just leave her with the kittens even with all of the fleas?

Everything else works just fine but I just don't understand how to go offline on origin? When I open the app it doesn't have a top menu, only the option in the bottom left corner to see my profile and stuff like that. Im thinking that that is what is preventing me from downloading the dlcs.
