Care of a Pregnant Cat Lesson 7: Rehoming Kittens From Franny Syufy, your Guide to Cats If you haven't already planned to keep all the kittens from the litter, you'll need to start thinking about placing them in permanent loving homes when they are eight to twelve weeks old. The feature article offers ways to ensure safe placement of these precious kittens. Find The Kittens Safe, Loving Homes for Life Have Kittens, Will Travel You will want to find potential adopters for your kittens who will love and appreciate them as much as you do. The very first rule is NO "Free to Good Homes" ads. It's a sad fact of life that most people appreciate "value" in terms of money, so don't feel at all guilty for requiring an adoption fee for these precious babies. After all, you have a large investment of time, emotion, and cash in them. Free Kittuns This essay by animal activist and author Jim Willis gives a fictional account of an all-too-real tragedy that repeats itself many times a year all over the world. Your Last, Most Important Assignment Beloved of Bast This last link tells the poignant story of an old barn cat who spent her life birthing one litter of kittens after another. Your resident or foster mother cat has also done her job; her kittens are weaned, and almost ready for placement in new homes. She has earned her rest. Now you can do the final, most loving act in caring for her: spaying her. She deserves to spend the rest of her life without the spectre of repeated heat cycles, potential disease, and the burden of bearing litter after litter of kittens. Thank you for caring enough to help her earn her rest. You've done an excellent job! Coda: Feedback on the Course How Did You Like this Course?
