My cat is about to have a litter what should i do?

Question

my dad wants to drown them is that ok ?????

Answer 1

I hope to god this is a fake question.

But if its not... of course its not ok to drown them!! What the h**l!! If your dad is going to do this tell him to give them to a rescue centre instead. If your dad says no to that, sneak them out and into a rescue... anywhere should take them if you explain. Thats a horrible thing to do. I would seriously beat the day lights outta someone who does that s**t.  

Answer 2

are u fcuking serious??..then dont let ur cat outside.. duh..and no it's not okay...

Answer 3

Listen sweetie, I know the answer to this question can vary and depends on alot of things. Such as will your dad listen to suggestions or talk to you about it at all? Or will your dad make the effort to chose other alternatives? Or is he set in his ways?

If your dad is open to other ideas then here are a few. First, ask him if you can find a shelter or someone to take the kittens AFTER their born. Or if you do find someone if he will let you keep them just until their weaned. You can call around or look on the net and find a shelter in your area willing to take them. This should be a no kill shelter.

If he doesn't want her around with them at all and won't let someone foster care or take care of them then one last but hard alternative is to take the cat to get fixed (if she isn't far along). Yes, this technically is aborting the babies but its better than drowning. Though I do not condone it, it is possible.

If he will listen to reason, you can send them to a shelter while keeping your cat once they are about 3 months old. Also, the best thing to do there after is to get the cat fixed so it doesn't happen again. Alot of shelters will do it for free or discounted fee.

I sincerely apologize to you and anyone reading this who doesn't like the answer of pre fixing the animal and it brings me to tears to suggest it but if this is a true question then the babies will suffer anyway and the mother cat will be better off (he may try to stop it himself or get rid of the cat all together).

Obviously, its not ok to drown them and its against most laws. Explain that to your dad!

Answer 4

People drown kittens and puppies when they don't want to take care of them.  This is animal abuse, and very wrong.  

If you don't want these kittens, and you dad doesn't want the responsibility to take of them thats fine.  Go to your nearest animal shelter, and give them to the shelter.  Explain that you cannot properly care for the animals.

If you do not know the location of your animal shelter, look in a phone book and call animal control, they'll come pick up the kittens.

You can also, if you do not mind taking care of them temporarily,  try giving them away, or selling them. People sell puppies and kittens on the sides of the street all the time.

Don't kill the baby kittens...

Answer 5

Find the momma cat a dark place..and a place where she would feel safe to have them..and if you want to get rid of them don't drown them sometimes u can take them to a pet store and they will take them if they r healthy..or u can take them 2 a shelter

Answer 6

Sadly, this is happening more and more. People have cats and they don't take the time to get them fixed. They end up pregnant, giving birth to kittens that are unwanted by their owners which makes them do some pretty nasty things to them. It's pretty sad in this day and age and with the fact that there is an over population of cats out on the street, you would think more people would care about the environment and get their cats fixed. Don't have money or income? Call your local humane society, the one in Milwaukee does a low cost spay/neuter to those with little or no income.

Please.. I encourage you to find a shelter in your area after your cat gives birth and find a way to get them into a proper home.  

Answer 7

OMG!  ANIMAL ABUSE!     Just take your cat to the animal shelter, and let them take care of, her, and in the future, get her SPAYED!!!!!

Well what do you think, is it OK to drown a cat?  NO!!

Oh, when your at the animal shelter, how about you tell them what your father wanted to do.  I dare you

Answer 8

I don't like your dad. Of course drowning them is NOT ok, its against the law, its called "Animal Cruelty" and if he gets caught he could face a fine and even jail time. Your parents should have been responsible and had the cat spayed. Find the kittens home, its not the cat's or the kitten's fault this is happening. Then get your cat spayed and your dad neutered.
