Can a pregnant cat care for another kitten and make milk for it?

Question

Can my pregnant cat take care of her sister’s kitten? My cat had too many kittens and is not a good mom, so cpuld I introduce the kitten to the pregnant cat? I don’t know if a pregnant cat produces milk or not. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | unspayed

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I wouldn't introduce the kittens to the pregnant cat until her kittens are born. Most cats do not produce milk until 1-7 days before birth and it wouldn't be enough. I would bottle feed the other cats kittens until the others are born. I hope this helps!
