Skye is a feral cat who has responded well to humans. Her water just broke, 1:50 pm PST.

Woo Hoo! Thanks for posting this. I've been checking in but haven't today. There goes my afternoon!

 

You are welcome! And I know! We are taking civie Tillie to the vet for a checkup this afternoon, like right now. Oh well, could go on for a while. Paws crossed for everything to go smoothly. I'm glad Shelly is there.

Unfortunately, Skye needs a little help with the birth so Shelly has taken her to Mountain View Veterinary for an emergency C-section by Dr. Ferguson. I doubt that will be broadcast. Many vines for Skye and her babies.

Sending lots of vines to the crew at Mt View!

 

Whew! I am so glad to get this news!!! Had been watching on and off and that poor girl was not going to deliver even one on her own!

 

Thinking of Skye and her kittens.

 

Praying for Skye and her babies. That was hard to watch.

 

Yes it was! I hope someone will post an update if they hear one. Prayers for them too!

 

I just a video of 4 babies!

Thanks!

 

All good! The ginger got stuck in the birth canal, it was a good call to do a c-section. The babies are huge, one weighs 131 grams, the biggest ever at TinyKittens. Mama and babies are home, babies are nursing, mama has even done a little bathing and pottying. It's her first and only litter.

Omg they are so cute!

 

Poor thing, she's still huge, has an incision and four huge kittens climbing all over her! Hope they gave her some good drugs!

 

They are gorgeous.

 

So sweet and cute. Thank goodness Skye was trapped before she went into labor...this would have ended so tragically if she were still in the forest.

 

Oh they are so cute!!!!

 

Such beautiful babies! I can see why the ginger one got trapped, he really looks enormous, lol. I hope gorgeous Skye and her babies continue to do well!

 

Thank you for posting. I saw the live feed and the comments were so fast and furious that I couldn't keep up!

 

I know, @Sienne and Gabby (GA). The chat gets very annoying. Too bad they can't have a separate one for just the PSAs. It really is fantastic that they were able to catch her and brought her through all this. She and the babies would have died for sure if they hadn't been able to catch her. Have you seen the calico kitten? Too adorable.

 

@Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey --
I haven't seen the calico. Every time I look, they are all in a heap! I agree, it's amazing they caught her before she became totally blind.

Did you see the story about Tiberius? He was a rescue after 3 days with his head in a jar in 90+ degree heat. It sounds like the entire neighborhood went on a rescue mission to find him.

 

@Sienne and Gabby (GA) Yes, and I don't think he would have lasted much longer if they hadn't gotten to them when they did. Shelly said the smell from inside the jar was so bad it was almost unbearable from 10 feet away. Poor thing. They truly are amazing there.
