Help for a pregnant kitty!

Tweet

Maybe someone here has some advice for my daughter; her one female cat, who is named Teeny-Weeny because she IS teeny, is pregnant for the third time. The first time she had three kittens over a day and a half and they were all born dead. She wasn't even a year old at the time and was even smaller than she is now so we thought that was why she had problems. Then she became pregnant again several months ago and this time only had one kitten, also born dead. Her mom had kittens at the same time and the poor little thing kept stealing her kittens because she apparently thought they were hers! OK, before anyone tells me we should get the cats spayed and neutered, my daughter is a very responsible cat owner and I'll get into that more later. Anyway, Teeny and her mom, Zippy got pregnant again, within a few days of each other and Zippy had three healthy babies last week. Teeny seemed to be in labor and...don't get grossed out here...there's been something sort of hanging from her. This has been going on for several days now, and she doesn't appear to be in any pain, she's eating good and you can still feel the kittens moving around inside her but she just doesn't seem to be ready to deliver. My daughter called a vet over the weekend and she would need a very large sum of money upfront for her to be seen, and if she needs a C-section it would cost several grand and she's not in a position to spend that kind of money right now. Does anyone have any advice as to what we could do, maybe induce labor or something? Or any similar experiences to share? We're really worried and the poor little girl really wants babies so bad! Now, here's how these kittens keep coming...my daughter currently has eight cats, not counting the three newborn kittens. There are three females and five males and all of the males are now fixed except the one who was from Zippy's last litter. The "daddy" of these last two litters had impregnanted the two females when he was very young, before they would neuter him. My daughter then made the arrangements for him to be neutered, took him for his pre-surgical exam and bloodwork (yep, you have to have your cat's blood tested before they'll operate!) and he manged to get the girls again a matter of days before his appointment. Actually, he nailed Teeny the day before! Opie (the youngest male) is going to be scheduled for his surgery very shortly, hopefully before he "gets lucky"! Annie
