JUL 24, 2022: Feral rescue kitty Candy gave birth for the last time, to five beautiful tiny panthers. She had a very difficult delivery (dystocia) which resulted in kittens spending longer in the birth canal and experiencing hypoxia (inadequate oxygen). We were able to revive them and restore normal reflexes over the course of many hours, however the effects of hypoxia sometimes take up to a week to present themselves, and can be fatal. We are monitoring and providing all possible care. The full birth video is posted on our channel. On top of the hypoxia, Candy's milk supply is low and we are doing everything possible to help her increase her supply. Birth weights of the kittens were excellent, but the first few days have been difficult for them. If this had happened in the ravine where Candy lived in the wild, there is no question all five kittens would have died. Just one more example of how spaying and neutering can spare so much suffering! Weight chart:
