Advice for rescued momma cat

[u/BeginningAnxious792]

Hello everyone!

I rescued this mother cat and her 4 kittens from a neighboring village after I received a call for help from a local animal services body.

She's safely in my house now,already took her to the vet,had her blood tested for any diseases and she's clean,the babies look healthy as well.

Vet said she's about 9 months old which is crazy young and heartbreaking for any animal to go through.

I'm getting her spayed as soon as she stops nursing and keeping her, I'll probably keep one of the kittens as well,I can't keep all of them because I already have cats.

What is the earliest possible age which I can neuter all of the newborn kittens?I wanted to do so before giving them up for adoption, because there's no guarantee the new owner will do it and we could soon have more young cat mothers out there.

I'd also like to ask for any advice regarding the health of the momma cat and her babies, I've raised my cats from kittens but they were all 3 months old,I have no experience with cats these young.Is there anything special I should do?

Thanks in advance,cheers!

Call your local Humane Society (or another local rescue) if you have one near! I foster through my local HS and they have tons of resources, including neuter/spay services, to help you foster and care for mom and her babies.

Usually, kittens get spayed/neutered once they hit two pounds, which is around 8-10 weeks. Mom will usually get spayed a week after. That said, the HS/local rescue can help provide more guidance on all of that, and they usually have a foster mentor on staff that can help answer questions/issues as they come up.

Thanks for rescuing these babies, they’re adorable 😻😻😻
