A work mate's cat gave birth to a kitten on tuesday, for 2 days there was no sign of any more yet she could "sorta feel something in there" when she examined the cat .. early hours of the morning on the 3rd day the cat gave birth to two badly deformed kittens (already dead).
The one surviving kitten and the cat finally taken to the vet this morning where she claims the vet "had to put the kitten down" (this is all on fbook) when asked why she said the mummy had no milk and it was starving, she could have hand reared it the vet said but as she has a baby (1yr old) and a job decided she couldnt ... FUMING!!!!
My friend is a vet nurse and has hand reared numerous kittens - this work mate is saying the Vet advised her to have the kitten put down but surely this isnt right??? I'm sorry for the rant but i am so angry right now

Responsible owners do not let their kittens have babies.
But its a long term thing a weekend would not be any good, its something that has to be done all day and all night every couple of hours..... Maybe she could have taken it to a cat rescue as they have people willing to do this.
I don't know what the circumstances for the kitten were, so I don't want to judge her on that..maybe there were other health problems involved? But I'm disgusted that she didn't contact the vet knowing that the Mum potentially had kittens left inside her.
I sincerely hope she will get the cat neutered ASAP.
The woman in this case is completely irresponsible, lets her cat get pregnant and then doesn't take it to the vet when it goes wrong - no way is she going to handrear a kitten.
I just hope she has the cat spayed now. What a horrible experience for the poor cat.:(
If you get a animal and you LET it have young then tough you should be prepared to hand rear .If you are not prepared to hand rear then get the Animal Nuetered .
I just hate irresponsible pet owners :mad:
Keep your pants on! Anyone who lets their cat have unwanted kittens is not going to hand rear anything , now are they?
Why, it's not going to change anything is it? The little one probably had a very unrealistic chance of survival. Sometimes, just occasionally, pts isn't the worst option an animal can face.
Your workmate needs to get this cat spayed asap, but sometimes, despite trying our utmost hardest, we can try until we are blue in the face to get someone to do the right thing, but ultimately it is her cat and her choice unfortunately.
