Cats are polyoestrus, meaning they can have many heat cycles per year. They can come into heat as early as 4 months, stay in heat an average of 7 days, and if not bred, can continue to go in and out of heat for 2-3 wks until bred.
SPAY & NEUTER YOUR CATS!

Kittens are best left with mom until 8 weeks of age.
When kittens become orphans their chance of survival decreases.
Chances of survival decrease further when entering a shelter setting. Losing the benefit of having a mother, along with the stress and exposure to diseases makes staying healthy a challenge. Many times the best a shelter can offer is humane euthanasia to orphaned kittens.
Please give mom a chance to return to her kittens and then spay and neuter mom and kittens when they are weaned.
