Evey had her kittens on 8/29/19. She has 8 kittens but she has the shortest body of all our queens and has trouble nursing 4 kittens or more. We are working hard with this litter with supplemental bottle feedings. We will not be taking any inquiries on this litter until a later date. Please don't ask, you are only taking time away from them and we do not know how many will make it. Just continue to watch the blog, we will post when this litter has made it out of the woods and we are close to visits and reservations, most likely when they are eating dry food or raw.
This litter will be fold and straight, shorthair and longhair. It looks so far like 3 red tabbies, 1 cream-tabby, a blue-tabby, a silver tabby, a brown tabby, and a brown tabby and white. Again, we do not know if all the kittens will make it.
On top of bottle feeding, we are helping stimulate them to use the bathroom, multiple weigh-ins, and tracking who is nursing or bottle-feeding to catch dehydration as early as possible. You can see from their messy faces that their mom is overwhelmed and not able to keep all of them clean, although she is trying as hard as possible. We are giving Evey raw and can food throughout the day to try and keep her hydrated and her milk supply up.
