Help with Mama cat + kittens

Vancouver WA

Description

A while back, I took in a cat (temporarily, supposedly) for a family member who has since ghosted us all. The cat ended up being pregnant, and gave birth to 4 kittens two weeks ago. Life has been a chaotic mess for me in those two weeks, and I desperately need help or advice. I’m a stay at home mom of 3, and my husband was recently arrested on years-old charges and won’t be home for 30 days. Needless to say, a cat and newborn kittens are a major stress that I cannot handle at the moment and I’m truly hoping that someone out there is able to help me. About a week after birth, one of the kittens passed away, and I’m literally terrified that something will happen to one of the other 3. The humane society couldn’t help me unless I was able to pay per cat, and I’m struggling enough to care for everything alone at the moment. I’ve checked with some other shelters/organizations, and I either get referred out to someone else or I’m told that they’re not able to help. I don’t want anything to happen to these sweet babies, and I’m at my wits end with stress and overwhelmed with life right now. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be so incredibly thankful. As I mentioned before, I don’t have much money to spare but I am able to bring them to wherever is necessary, and I have a can of some powdered kitten formula and some dried cat food that I can bring as well! The mama cat is absolutely beautiful, very well mannered, social and enjoys being touched and cuddled. She’s a semi-long haired white and gray cat, and honestly looks like a Ragdoll/Siamese mix. I’m not sure exactly how old she is, but I believe she’s pretty young herself … most likely under 2 - 2.5 years old. I do have photos of her, and the babies, that I can send if interested. I’m asking that if someone takes her in, please, please have experience with a mama cat and newborns, and please be able to provide a stable and good home and environment for her/them! It breaks my heart to no end to know that this poor cat has had such a runaround, and I just want her to be cared for and spoiled, and her babies to find good solid homes as well. If our circumstances hadn’t imploded so drastically, so quickly, we would have loved to keep her forever. Please, no rude, passive aggressive or unnecessary messages or comments. If I wasn’t completely out of ideas and desperate for these animals to be okay, I wouldn’t be putting myself and my business out on the internet like this. There’s nothing that can be said to me that I haven’t already said to myself.
