Hi There,

Welcome to the board!

Thanks for taking in these 2 precious babies. I have mixed feelings about the kittens though, especially in a brother-sister breeding.

It sounds like the pregnancy is fairly advanced, otherwise I would recommend spaying. Hopefully the babies will be healthy and you can place them, then have the mom spayed. You definitely don't want to let her have another litter. The male should be neutered also. They will both be healthier and happier after the surgery, plus you don't have to worry as much about mammary cancer or about uterine infections at all. An intact male will almost always spray and his urine will be very strong-smelling.

Regards,
PHKitkat
