PLEASE PLEA I NEED QUICK ANSWER:

so i had my front door open and somehow fluffy got loose from the room when one of my kids opened it and she went outside,  i called for her for hours and then finally found her but she was in a fight with a cat and ran up a tree really fast. I got her down but she is traumatized and growling really loud. i need to know if the babies will be ok, i am truly upset at what happened and will blame my self if anything were to happen to her or the babies because of my mistake, Please let me know your input, her tummy is moving around but it doesnt feel like the normal kicking its just going in and out. please please let me know that she might be okay

She should be fine, feral cats outdoors get in fights all of the time and do just fine. If you're very worried about her than you should take her in to be examined by a vet. Also, if she is not vaccinated I would definitely get her tested- and then vaccinated AFTER the kittens are born and weaned. FeLV is mainly transmitted through bites and such during fights from other ferals who carry, and can also be transferred when the male bites on to the female during mating.

Keep a very close watch for signs of an abcess.  Otherwise she will probably be fine.

thank you guys so much for your responses, i have been looking all over her for scratches and thank goodness there are none, her fur is just so thick and she has so much it is hard to see things sometimes. She was just a bit shaken up yesterday but the babies are still kicking and she has been nesting today so i hope she has them soon!

so fluffy has been nesting alot lately, but still no kittens :( i have just noticed something new though, she keeps grabbing at my hand and biting it really really hard to the point in which she leaves tooth marks. Do you think she is in pain from the pregnancy, because she normally does not behave like this

thank you

If she's unspayed and allowed outdoors, then yes she will be pregnant. She's really much too young, which is why spaying is recommended by 6 months at the latest.

Take her to the vet, if she's not too far along she can get a spay/abort, and not go through a risky birth. 

The other 2 need spaying as well, if they haven't been done yet.

Sounds like she's at least 3 weeks pregnant.  Most outdoor cats will be pregnant by that age unless they have been spayed.  Did she vanish for a few days 3-5 weeks ago?  That would be her finding the local male cats.

If you and your vet don't have an objection she can probably still be spayed and the kittens aborted at the same time, otherwise she is probably going to have kittens to look after fairly soon.

If it's not too late you can get her spayed right now. That's how you can help yourself AND her.

Well done on being responsible and getting her spayed now, it's not a decision some people want to entertain so good on you putting her needs first.
