My 1 year old cat had 3 baby kittens 1 week ago. She had them downstairs up between my flooring upstairs where this is a lot of insulation. I tapped my phone to a pole and took a video of them. I do it once a day to check on them. But I cannot reach them at all. Mom is good and has plenty of milk coming in and babies look good.
Will she bring her babies down at any point? Maybe once they are bigger and walking? Not sure what to do? I'm glad they are healthy but they will need to come down at some point. We built a ramp for her too so it would be easier for her to bring them down.

I would keep a close eye and if you see any sign of trouble, you may want to figure out a way to access them carefully without hurting them. Is it possible if you can get your phone down there on a pole that you can rig a grabber (like the kind used to pick things up from the floor) can be stuck down there to grab them by the scruff and pull them up? Perhaps you can well pad the grabber parts and carefully do the scruff thing and remove. Think of it as the equivalent of the mom picking them up by the scruff.
Post with an update. Prayers for easy solutions.
Yes we have an 8ft pole I tapped my phone to and we video them at least 2 times a day. That is a great idea for a soft grabber kind of thing. Thank you for info and help! Much appreciated and I will give updates
Yes, keep us posted! The kit family is in my prayers!!!
Nature has a way of protecting itself and mother cats know what they need to keep their babies safe. She has delivered her babies where she feels good and feel comfortable to take care of them. You may need to wait 18 to 24 days before the kittens have their eyes opened and walking around.
Give this some time , it seems that the mama kitty is doing a good job and want the privacy. Do what you are doing (keeping a good watch). Don't worry until it's time!
I think poehere is right on. You have been very creative with the ramp. I think she will move them when she is ready. Sometimes cat are just so creative.
