Pictures of Nala from Amanda

Nala had 5 precious babies on Saturday, August 18. The poor thing was in labor for around 5 hours! Two of those were spent on the first and largest kitten. I was ready to take her to the vet when kitty #1 finally made it out. She was so exhausted from that first kitten, which took almost 6 times longer to deliver than he should have, that she was too tired to do much else. Luckily I was there to help her. I had to rupture the amniotic sac on each kitten and gently swing them to release fluid from their lungs and get them breathing. I was so thankful to have Cheryl there to help me and Lanelle’s expert advise. All 5 and momma are doing well. There are 2 tabbies, 2 black & white and 1 little calico. All have white boots and none look like either parent. I want to keep the calico, but we’ll see.
Attached are some pics. You can’t see the babies that well in them. The first pic is Nala a few days before delivery, the second is Nala with babies and the third is Puma checking them out from behind the table.
