Who makes the kennels at vet offices?

I am starting a recus for kittens and I would like to get the Kennels like vet offices and animal shleters. They are the little ones that are like stacked on each other, but they are like all placed together and not individual. It is kind of hard to explain. They are metal, and the door like kind of slides up and opens.I’m sorry I not very good at describing them, but if anyone knows what I am talking about and knows who makes them or what they are called, I will pick a best answer!! Thanks sorry if I confused you!

I need to feed this cat, we found her in our backyard, she has kittens, she can’t take time to find a lot of food for herself. I have posted a question about the types, but now I need the cost.

My cat had kittens in my brothers dresser drawer upstairs a while ago, and once the cats started moving and trying to crawl out, we moved them down stairs to an area where the cats litter box is, and ever since we moved the kittens there, the cat wont use her litter box. We never had a problem with her "leaving" anything on the floors, but now she keeps doing it and wont stop. Is this normal? How do we make her use the litter box again?

Two pregnant barn cats – too expensive to spay?

I wasn’t able to add additional details to my question, so I am re-posting it. I live on a farm and have two pregnant barn cats that have become pets. I was going to get them spayed but even with two off Paws coupons it was too much money (0 after coupons). Is there any other organization that provides some kind of assistance? I know there are many in cities, but I don’t know of any others in rural west central Missouri. I cannot have more cats, and because of time constraints it is not possible to wait for people to take the kittens for free. I know I should have saved up and gotten them spayed before this, but now the only option I can think of is to destroy the litters after they are born, at least the females since the males are always taken soon. It makes me sick to think of doing that, but I will have to. If they live out here they will just get killed on the highway or by coyotes anyway.

Additional Details:
City people like to abandon cats out here in the country for some reason – they see the barn and figure I can handle it. I can’t shell out money to get these cats and their kittens spayed or neutered. They either have to starve, get accidentally shredded in a car engine, get eaten by coyotes, run over by cars which might wreck trying to miss them, or get a bullet through the head. That’s the harsh reality out here, which do you choose? The coyotes and cars don’t care about innocence, plus if one of the cats causes a wreck, that would be worse, so I don’t see a problem with destroying them quickly before any of that happens (other than me being squeamish). Besides, if the vet spays them while pregnant, is he not destroying the litter too?
The few tame cats I’ve kept get pregnant if I don’t act fast enough to scrounge the money for the vet, although I have paid to get four of them spayed (two of those have disappeared and I still have the other two, plus the two that are pregnant). I should clarify that the certificate is like a coupon for off, not for a total cost of . The actual cost even with the certificates is 0 for two cats. Since I can’t come up with that before the pregnancy is too far along for them be spayed, they will probably have the litters. I can usually deal with one litter, but not two. The nearest big city with shelters is 70 miles away, and I guess I’m too cheap to pay for the gas for that drive, but I will look into taking the whole bunch of them to a shelter after 8 weeks like someone suggested. I will definitely get the mothers spayed before they have a chance to have another litter.
It looks like the shelters, SPCAs and other low cost clinics that are in the city 70 miles away won’t take cats that are from areas outside the city region, so I guess that’s not an option anyway.

Can ringworm infest a carpet or beds or furniture?

My friend has a severe case of ringworm, which she didn’t treat promptly (she rescued two kittens who had them). Now she has it severly, the dog, and the three other cats have it (but the kittens are clear). The kittens were out occasionally out when infested, the dog and the other cats have been out. Could the carpet and the furniture have been infested with ringworm? If it has been, how do you clean the furniture and the carpet?

My momma cat and her kittens got ringworm from a farm kitten my husband brought in to save (it was starving), and now it’s turned into a disaster! The cat and 6 kittens are at the vet for treatment because I just couldn’t get it under control with cream for them, so I’ll be paying through the nose for that, but now I need to take care of the house so we don’t all get it. I am very upset! What can I do for carpet and furniture? I read to wash what you can with bleach, but I can’t do that for carpet and fabric! Will lysol spray kill the fungus???? HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP!

Has anyone else heard of a problem like this? It’s the dry kind, for kittens. I’d noticed that she had been having some digestive problems (she barfed and seemed to have the runs when we first got her) and I wonder if it’s related to that food, because when I fed her something else, she seemed to improve, but then yesterday she got sick again, and I found that my wife had given her some of the Science Diet again. What in the food might be causing this? Are there certain ingredients to avoid in dry cat food?

She’s a female and she’s spayed/neutered

When she was like 1 year old she started to steal my stuffed animal monkey in the middle of the night and carry it like a mom kitty would carry her kittens and hide it from me. I would find it and take it and hide it but she always found it….so I eventually gave it up to her. Now she’s 3 and a half years old and she still hhas the monkey and she still carries it around and treats it like a kitten. Why does she do this?
