A pregnant cat needs calm, careful care — from spotting the early signs to preparing a quiet whelping spot. Good preparation protects both the mother and the kittens and helps you act fast if delivery goes wrong.
What Milk Can Newborn Kittens Drink?
Feed orphaned kittens a pet-formula goat's milk replacer, mixed with warm—not hot—water and given slowly by bottle or syringe to avoid choking. Kittens under two months need milk every 1–2 hours; never give cow's milk, which upsets their stomachs.

Counter to the myth that cats are pricey, owners and a vet agree a healthy cat costs little — roughly $15–45 a month for food, litter, and basics. The real budget-breaker is illness, which can hit $140 or more in a single visit.
