Keeping this in view, how long can baby kittens survive without their mother?
4 weeks
Beside above, will a mother cat return to her kittens? Stand far away and wait. A Mother cat will leave her kittens for hours at a time. She will NOT return if you are standing over her kittens. Female cats can become pregnant with a new litter even while they are still nursing, so don’t forget to get the mother cat spayed or you will have more kittens soon!
Besides, how do you know if a kitten has been abandoned?
If you have to move them, make sure it is nearby where mom can see or hear them calling for her. Keep an eye on the nest from a distance for 12 to 18 hours to determine if they’re truly abandoned. Depending on how old the kittens are, moms can stay away for hours at a time.
