Cat just gave birth

Question
Hello, my cat just gave birth aproximately 24 hours ago, and I'd like to know if I should take her and her newborns to the vet just for a check up to make sure nothing is wrong. And if so, how soon should I take her? Thank you!

Answer
Nal,

Yes, a post natal check up is always a good idea.  If you take both her and the newborns, put mama in one carrier and the newborns in a small box with lots of bedding so they can stay warm.  You never want to transport mama and the kittens in the same crate.

I would take her as soon as you can.

Best regards... Norm.
