Mom cat frantic after separating from 7-week kittens for spay?

Question

I was told to separate mother can from kittens when they are 7 weeks old so her milk can dry up for surgery two weeks later. She is frantic to get to them. What can I do I have another cat in the house that can't be near them. It will be impossible to keep three sets of cats from each other for weeks.

I'm sorry you have having this issue but you will need to keep them separated. If you want to give one of the cats or the kittens to a friend or family member to keep for you for a couple weeks that would be best. The kittens would be the least to stress out with a change to a different location. It is best for mom and kittens to be in different locations anyway - if she even hears them crying that will still stimulate milk production. The milk needs to dry up or she can't be spayed.
