How to Help a Cat in Labor
Most cats deliver alone in 58–63 days, but a weak or dystotic cat may need help. Stay with her, and if labor stalls, gentle breast or abdominal massage releases oxytocin to aid contractions; keep her energized with glucose. For true dystocia—a visible kit she can't push out, or a narrow pelvis—get to a vet. After birth, clear the amniotic sac and airways, tie the cord, and warm the kitten.

Severe cases may need veterinary care such as IV fluids or medication to bring the temperature and pressure down.
