- How many are pregnant, sick or injured and in what way?*
- If any of the cats are sick or injured, they can be brought to a local vet clinic.

- How many kittens are there?*
- How old do the kitten(s) look? Visit https://www.kittenlady.org/age if unsure*
- Kittens under 4 weeks rely heavily on their mum. If the kittens are warm and look healthy, mum likely hasn't abandoned them and is probably nearby if she isn't with them now.
  
  If you haven't seen mum, ensure the kittens are kept somewhere safe nearby, away from people as they could spook mum and deter her from coming back. If the kittens are still there after 4-6 hours and meowing constantly (which often means they're hungry) then mum cat may have abandoned them.
  
  If the kittens are cold to touch, sick looking or mum cat has abandoned them, the kittens will need immediate help or they could pass away.
  
  If the kittens have been abandoned by their mum, our neonatal kitten guide may help you whilst you're trying to find somewhere for them to go.

- In what way does the mum cat appear sick or injured?*
- If the mum cat is sick or injured, she can be brought to a local vet clinic. Alternatively, try contacting rescue groups near you. Note: often most rescue groups will be full so you may need to contact many. Rescue groups cover vet costs (at their approved vets and strictly through their processes) if they approve you to foster the kittens for them.
  
  They may be more likely to accept the mum and kittens if you:
  - Offer to (and commit to) care for the mum and kittens until they are ready for rehoming.
  - Include the information in this form (which will be emailed to you after submitting it) and good photos of the kittens as well as describing the situation they are in (in a paragraph or two).
  Please also feel free to continue this form and we’ll respond IF we have space for the mum and kittens.
