I'm truly sorry to hear about the loss of your kitten. It's understandably distressing when a stillborn occurs shortly after delivery. There are several potential reasons for this, such as congenital defects, infections, or inadequate maternal care. It's crucial to ensure that the mother cat is healthy and receiving proper nutrition and care, especially after giving birth.

To support the mother cat and any remaining kittens, here are a few things you might consider:

Firstly, keep a close eye on the mother cat. Make sure she is eating well and not showing any signs of distress or illness. Adequate nutrition and hydration are essential for her recovery and for caring for any surviving kittens.

Next, check the environment where the mother and kittens are staying. It should be warm, clean, and safe. Stressful conditions can negatively impact both the mother and her kittens.

If there are other kittens, observe them closely for any signs of illness or distress. They should be nursing regularly and appear active and healthy.

Lastly, while the situation may not seem extremely urgent, it could be beneficial to schedule a vet check-up for the mother and any remaining kittens. This can help rule out any underlying health issues and provide peace of mind.

If you have any further questions or need additional support, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you.
