I have a pregnant feral that has an appointment this week for spaying. Please give me your opinions on how far along is too far to spay a pregnant cat. I really don't have anywhere to keep her during her pregnancy and she is quite wild. I'm afraid that if I leave her out there to have her kittens, I will not be able to find them or save them after she has them. I know I can count on everyone to let me know how they feel about this. Thanks.

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly....

This is the worst litter I have ever tried in my life. The cats don't care, but I do - it stinks to high heaven and doesn't clump at all like it claims.

Kittykrats,
It doesn't matter how far along the pregnancy is. Vets will perform spays regardless. Also when they do perform the surgery, the whole uterus, fetuses and all, are removed. None of the kittens will ever open their eyes or take a breath. And unless you definitely have home for these babies, it think it's best to have her spayed now and put her back. If you allow her to have her kittens, you take the chance of them becoming feral as well unless you separate them from their mom by the time they're 6 weeks old. And the mother who is feral will probably not let you near her babies.
It's a hard decision to make but unless you have the time to spend with them to socialize them, I think it's best to have her spayed now.
Good luck and keep us posted. I am moving this thread to the SOS forum.
