MATERIALS FOR GIVING CAT CATES

What could be more magical than birth? It's an extraordinary moment, rich in emotion, and breeders know this well. Each birth is unique and generates just as much emotion each time.

But whatever one may say, a cat needs a presence (nearby or far away depending on the character of your animal) in order to be able to react and prevent a possible problem.

Some breeds, like the Persian for example, or other breeds, need our assistance.

It is essential to know the correct procedures to follow during childbirth.

Discreet monitoring allows for the early detection of any signs of abnormality: prolonged contractions, excessive fatigue, or a kitten stuck in labor. In these cases, gentle and rapid intervention, or even an immediate call to the veterinarian, is essential.

Here is the equipment you must keep available and ready for use (disinfected) for each expected birth in your breeding program:

• Whelping box (a place where the expectant mother can feel safe and secure)
• Veterinary mat
• Absorbent bed pads (60 x 60 cm)
• Heating pad, mat or heat lamp
• Mucus extractor (to clear the airways if necessary)
• A pair of disinfected, round-tipped scissors that cut properly (umbilical cord)
• Clamper (hemostatic) for clamping the cord if needed
• Sterile compresses
• Hand sanitizer
• Clean, soft towels (for drying and rubbing the kitten if needed)
• Soft absorbent paper (like unscented tissue paper)
• I'm also planning on getting a stack of pre-cut paper towels; they're very handy.
• Latex or vinyl gloves
• High-precision scale
• Identification collars
• Milk, teats + syringes or baby bottle
• Nutridrop's

All these elements can be found in our A L'ÉLEVAGE range, where each product is selected for its reliability and professional use.

The temperature of a room for a newborn should be around 26°, so you must ensure that the room is kept at the right temperature.

Remember to keep a carrier and your phone nearby in case of an emergency visit to your veterinarian.
