Hi all,


I foster for the Cats Protection League here in the UK (I think this is an american forum?)
Last friday (1 week, 1 day ago) I got a new foster cat in, she was vet checked before arriving at mine, I was told she wasnt pregnant, had a tumour or full of worms, despite the rounded belly. So I figured constipation


1 week on, the belly is growing, the nipples are large and pink (compared to my own cats nipples anyway) and she is pooping for england


Basically I think she is pregnant, despite the vets opinion. I have spoken to the foster co-ordinator and she agrees with me.

Evie (my foster) is booked in to be speyed on Tuesday, obviously she cant be if she is over a certain stage (we say 4 weeks)

If you had to guess where abouts would you say she is in pregnancy?


I need some birthing/kitten care advice if you could point me in the right direction please
Im used to kittens as young as 6 weeks but new borns are alien to me!

Many thanks Georgey

I think their nipples start pinking up around 3 weeks along. How long has it been since you saw pinking? Is she losing the hair around the nipples?

Well shes only been here 1 week, I didnt bother looking when she first arrived as I was told she isnt pregnant

So technically only 1 day, my dad noticed first but I dont know how long ago he noticed
