Found cat and it had kittens - help!

So i found this pregnant cat at Walmart Sunday night and she had 5 kittens last night from 12am - 4am. She still looks a little pregnant - is this normal? She is rather small so I am guessing she is not full grown. I noticed today that one of the largest of the 5 kittens is deformed. It's left back leg is bent backwards at the knee and it's right foot is kind of like a big claw (not flat but curled under). I don't have much money at all and i have no idea what to do. I know cats can get pregnant twice when in heat so I wasn't sure if this did happen that it was possible for her to go so far in between deliveries. She is incredibly clingy and has very bad stinky gas. Hope someone can help. Thanks

Have you felt any movements in her belly since she delivered? If not maybe give her a day or two to see if she goes down a bit. I think I read that they can wait around 24 hours to have the rest. My girl went between 4-9 hours between the 2nd and 3rd.

havn't felt any movement but she is still a bit round. I know when i had my boys i stayed round for awhile lol but i didn't think it was the same for kitties. I will probably take her to the walk in vet tomorrow to get her checked out and tested FeLV/FIV and see about maybe getting her shots depending on what they say.

Tx for helping her and the kittens...

AND welcome to the Forums!


About her gases - prob she has some worms.

Good you are going to see / talk with the drop in vet.


If she has everyone born etc - probably, but may be difficult to know. A sort of rule of thumb is. If she seems to be at ease and contend, you can await and see.
If she is visibly distressed - contact the vet asap...


Her being small: yes very probable she isnt fully grown yet. But not so few cat females ARE petite...

Keep us updated!


Good luck!
