pregnant cat

I'm not sure. I would say that as long as she can't get out and no other cats can get in, it might be fine. I'd just be worried about the temperature since kittens can't control their own temp for the first couple of days... I'd say that someone more knowledgable would have to tell you the temp part.

No, I don't think that is a great idea. If she can't manage to get out another cat can always manage to get in. Also it isn't the best place for kittens to grown up either. The best thing you can do for her and her kittens is bring her inside.

i will try to see if i can. but if i cant what should i do?

find someone who can? contact a no-kill shelter?

Well i still live with my parents so maybe i could see if they would let me keep her in my room

they never come in my room i can just sneek them in and when she has kittens they will not be able to kick them out

There are so many other things you can do. Some vet clinics will take in pregnant cats, not many but there are a few, a family member, friend, ect.

well i don't want to do that. i want to be there for her.

Don't go behind your parents back and bring kittens in your house. You need to talk to them about it.

ok i will try to talk to them about it and i tryed telling them about her having them in the woods behind our house but they wouldn't listen.

I understand that you want to be there for her, but you need to figure out what is best for the cat. Living in a hot barn with only a fan to keep her cool isn't what is best for her.

Also, what if there are complications when she is giving birth? You will need to be able to keep an eye on her. Taking her in is the best thing you can do, and if you can't do that ask a friend if they can and just visit the mom and her kittens everyday.

Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. If the barn will not allow other cats in or her out, only you know that. Indoors would be best. Try to find or borrow a large dog crate if you have to. But the point is to keep her from getting pregnant again and keep the kittens safe. Are you going to be spaying her after this litter? There are low cost options all over the place so we might be able to help you find one. but don't give up with her. Bring her in, try regular litter, take bits of dirt or whatever from the area she goes in your barn, even put some poop in there to show her where she needs to go. Are there other barn cats? She really should be alone until after the babies are born so she can raise them in peace.

yes i am spaying her after she gives birth. i will try to find her a place to be that is safe. we do have an empty room in our basement i could see if i could keep her there

she breed with a bobcat last time.

If your basement is safe then that sounds fine. Talk to your parents and let them know what is going on. Try and convince them to let her stay indoors but if the basement is the best you can do then I guess that is alright.

Make sure you get her spayed as soon as possible.

i will and thank you. it is safe and there is no way she can get out.

good news i am aloud to keep them in the basement!!

That is great. Keep an eye on her and make sure your basement doesn't get too hot.

i will. i hope she has them soon

Very glad to hear that! Good Luck!
