Can anyone tell me how long a momma kitty stays pregnant?? I have a very sweet stray that I have started feeding and she is prego!!! I thought she was one of my neighbors but come to find out she is the neighborhood stray. I am wondering is there anything I can do to make sure her and her baby's are taken care of. OH I can so hear my hubby telling me I am going to be the crazy cat lady!!! LOL I think after she pops I will take her to the Vet if she lets me and get her fixed. So we don't have a mass colony of babies.

Gestation period is 63 days, but of course you can't know when the pregnancy happened. Can you trap her and bring her inside, do you have a place to keep her?

If not, can you set up some sort of shelter outside, in a quiet private corner, feed her near it, to encourage her to use it when her time comes?

She doesn't want to come inside. I have tried. She is very loving but when I have tried to bring her in she freaks out. Plus I am worried that she might not get along with the new kitten my husband rescued last week from the refinery. The kitten that I have right now is only about 6weeks old and very play full. I don't want her to get agitated by the kitten and hurt her. I will try and make her a shelter out of something. I would love to be able to see her kittens and get them use to humans so I can find a good home for them. And just maybe keep one of them.
Thank you for the advice.

It's wonderful for you to care for this poor mama and I'm so happy to hear you will have her spayed after the babies are weaned.

Please do keep us updated on her!
