i would like to make it clear for people jugding me for getting my cat pregnant why i did alow my ca

Here in the UAE, we dont have as much animal shelters as there are in other countrys. Also, i live in a city-like place in the uae which has no shelters at all, so people who desire and want to get a cat dont have anyother place to adopt cats other than adopting them from cat owners. Another thing is that here in the uae we dont have a pet overpopulation as there are in many other countrys. So, finding a home for kittens here is a piece of cake because everybody is looking for good life companions. I will not need to find homes for my newly born kittens because i have decided to take care of three of them and the left onewill be go to my friend which owns the male cat she got pregnant from. Thank you

It is really hard to adopt a cat in the uae, people living her will understand

Are there no homeless street cats? If not, you're very lucky!

But even if you can find homes for kittens, it's not healthy to leave your cat unspayed for too long. One litter, maybe two, you don't want to wear her out or increase her chances for pyo or mammary cancer too much.

There are but they're not alot, i feed street cats and take care of them when i have a chance to. Most of them are very friendly. I wont let her get pregnant again.

Do you have also possibility to spay them.  A formuite told it is not used in Saudia to spay.  But spaying is the most effective to help them, not only giving them food, but also spaying.

Yes there is a possiblity to spay them, but its really hard to handle them

Hmm. Have you looked into starting a trap-neuter-release program in your area? We do this here in the USA to control cat population. You set out box traps with tempting food, catch the cats, and take them in to the vet's to be neutered and vaccinated. After they recover, you just put them back where they came from. TNR'd colonies are usually fed by human volunteers, and marked by a tattoo or eartip (the tip of the ear is cut off when the cat is neutered, so they can be identified as a colony cat).

Benefits of TNR programs--
The cats stay in the area, and are much less troublesome. Much less fighting, spraying, general nuisance. TNR'd colonies are quiet, often nearly invisible.
A population of vaccinated cats creates a barrier that stops the spread of rabies between humans and wildlife.
Stops kittens from being born in the wild, growing up feral and unadoptable, and generally making the problem worse.
Lower population means fewer cats preying on the wildlife.
Somebody is generally looking out for the cats, and so will be able to spot lost, owned cats when they show up to be fed.
Reduces the spread of diseases through mating and fighting.
Reduces the cat population so that instead of kittens being born and dying, the cats simply don't have kittens.

I had called the local clinic, & made Macy an appointment to be spayed, the beginning of Feb when we moved into our own place the soonest they could get her in was mid april though.. The end of Feb, she was in heat, she squalled for a few days...then one day, I woke up, & she was nowhere to be found...after a few hours of looking for her, I noticed the hole in the wall (where the dryers heat vent is supposed to go out/ we didn't have a dryer at the time.) the duct tape that was on it had been pulled back, & was covered in orange cat hair...lol..I plan on getting her spayed after she's done nursing this litter.I didn't intentionally let Macy get pregnant, sometimes, you can't help it.

Yeah. Cats in heat can turn into escape artists. This is why I think pediatric spay/neuter is a good thing--get them done before their first heat, and you don't have to risk a cat in heat becoming a feline Houdini and saddling you with a litter of kittens.

Well i will consider doing this TNR program in our area, Thank you for understanding
