WHAT DO I DO?
I am on the verge of tears.
I am trying to be calm.
The kittens that I have waited on for 3 months arrived today. May did not know what to do. She had them in the litterbox. Yes. The LITTERbox. I have to work an eleven hour shift today. The other guy that works here let me leave for an hour. I go home to find a distraught new mother sitting in the litterbox covered in blood, one dead kitten underneath her.
Four more are lying on a blanket with placenta still attached, covered in litter, one is not making any noise.
I manage to clean all the kittens, cut cords, clean May as much as possible, and get the kittens to eat. I can feel another kitten, maybe two inside May but nothing is happening. May is just lying there; in pain and too exhausted to care for her kittens. Somethin g is wrong. Something is fucking wrong.
And then the guy from work calls and tells me to get there as soon as possible because he has a date. A fucking DATE!!!!!
I can't lose my job. We're talking about my kids here. My babies. I have two and half more hours to sit here at work and wait. And cry. All I can do is cry.
May won't take care of these kittens. How can I raise 5 kittens?
It's going to break my heart if they die.
