Hello,  Newcomer here.  I have a mother cat I've been fostering for the last few months.  Her litter all went off to their new home late Sunday, and she's pretty despondent.  She still has milk and is walking around vocalizing.  She is an excellent mom who has given birth to 9 litters.  I'm wondering if anyone has very young kittens who still need to nurse, or who need some mothering.  Long term, I plan to get her spade and adopted, but short term, she might be helpful to some motherless kittens.  I live in the PLEX neighborhood.  She is not feral, just a very neglected cat who wasn't taken care of by her family.

Thanks.  I have someone coming over this evening with 2, 3 week old kittens she's fostering.  They won't latch on to the foster mom cat they're using so we're going to see if they'll latch on to mine.  I made the mistake of adopting out all three of her kittens at the same time on Sunday, and apparently that didn't give her milk a chance to dry up slowly.  She's walking around wailing.  When I cut up some turkey for her earlier she methodically carried all the pieces to the bedroom where her kittens were, and just stood there calling them.  I didn't anticipate this reaction.  But she's had 9 litters in the last 4 years, 3 in the last 15 months, so her body is primed for motherhood, I'm afraid.  She's an excellent mom; I just wish I could have adopted her out with one of her kittens.
