The good news is that most mother cats are very good mothers, and we generally don't have to do much to help them. I am attaching a link to a handout on orphan kittens in case you need it, but the most important thing is to make sure that they have a safe, warm and quiet place for Taiga to take care of them. And make sure that Taiga is eating a kitten food since she will need a lot of calories to make enough milk for the babies. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=576 Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
