About Pati
Expertise
I am not a vet and therefore cannot answer specific medical questions but I do have a background in medicine and cat rescue/rehabilitation. I would like to help others in rescue by sharing my knowledge and what has worked for me. I can offer many tips and suggestions on rehabilitating cats and new born kittens, much of which have been passed on to me by veterinarians. I can also help with the day-to-day running of a rescue.

Experience
I have been rescuing kittens most of my adult life and have been part of a cat rescue for the last 6 years. I'm known for taking cats/kittens that no one thought would survive and giving them one-on-one attention until they are rehabilitated. "That cat lived?!?" is a question I often hear.

Organizations
I am currently vice-president of "Tigerlily Cat Rescue" and operator of "Precious Artifact's Black Cat Sanctuary." .

Education/Credentials
I am a licensed, registered x-ray tech with 27 years of experience in medical and surgical situations.

Cats - miscarriage

Question
can cats miscarry one kitten and still go full term with the rest

Answer
Hi Mari,

I suppose its possible that only one kitten would miscarry since they are all in individual sacs.  The only time I've had a cat miscarry was when she was sick with pneumonia and she miscarried the three kittens she was carrying.  If your cat has miscarried a kitten I would take her to the vet to check on the status of the other kittens.  If there is a kitten that has died inside her but not been delivered it can turn toxic and literally kill her.
