My fear has been hit with Spree

She's out of milk. I'm giving her the formula, along with which kittens that will let me feed them! Please keep us all in our prayers. I'll be up for a few hours yet.

If any woman is in the baby blues, please take on a litter of kittens, it'll not make you miss them at all!!! However, I will stay awake for all my babies. I'll help out my Spree the best that I can!!!

All 7 are still alive, however I can only feed one at a time. I just look for the skinny ones, and go for it. It's amazing that the calico's are the fattest ones. Though, I don't ignore them.

You might also contact any cat rescue groups or vets to see if they know of any nursing mother cats that might take in some of the kittens to nurse.

I read that mother cats should eat kitten food since it supplies more calories and nutrients. Nursing cats need at least double the food they normally eat, and plenty of fresh water.
I hope Spree can produce more milk, but I hope the kittens (and you!) do well if you have to continue to bottle feed them.
