my cat after birth desserted kittens and another cat took care of the kttens?
The original mother is crying and looking for the newborns but when we tried 2 timss to get her close with her kiddnes she doesnt want them but she continues crying and looking for them. Doesnt she recognise her kittens because another cat is breastfeeding them? What can we do to bring mother and kittens together again?

she’s not going to want them any more because it smells like another cat and so she thinks they are not her’s so this is a lost cause for you to try and give her cats back, your mistake was to let the other cat feed them

Do these two moms live in the same house? If so, and if they were “friends” before this, maybe you could put the kittens into a LARGE box, lined with towels, and let BOTH moms take care of them.
This is what my cats did, when more than one had kittens at the same time. They SHARED the care and feeding of all of the kittens.
Otherwise, you could TRY to rub something all over your “crying mom”, to get her scent on it, then wipe down the kittens with a damp cloth to remove the “other” cat’s scent…….THEN, wipe the kittens down with THEIR REAL mom’s scent. Hopefully, this would work.
If neither of these things work, take the “crying mom” to the vet to be spayed, BEFORE she’s goes out looking to HAVE MORE kittens.
Hope some of this helps you and your cats………..Good luck.
