Hi... I have a friend who just rescued a stray cat and he THINKS she might be pregnant OR already have a litter somewhere.

He said her nipples are pink and swollen. She doesn't seem to be round but he said he can feel a few lumps but the lumps doesn't move.. He doesn't think she's pregnant which really worries me because that may mean she has a litter somewhere (no idea how old the litter could be) so what to do???

She wants to go outside... Should he let her outside and try to follow her to see if he can find her kittens if she already have kittens or what?

He can't get her to a vet till tmr at 4 and I'm afraid it may be too late for her kittens if they're hidden somewhere outside.

I'm no vet but if he can feel lumps then she's pregnant and has not delivered.

However, if your friend would like to take the risk then yes, by all means, investigate!

Am not sure I would risk it because they can be anywhere and also it sounds to me she is prego and might only be 1 or 2 in there. Can he express milk.
