   I  just rescued a  young kitty 6 weeks ago that might be pregnant, I could not afford to have her spayed at my vet, so I found a place that will do it  very cheap, They could not get her in for a couple weeks.    Next week Tuesday  is her appointment. but at least I tried to do something about it, even if it might be to late.

There are so many kittys without homes, people get kittens because they are cute then they abandon them.
About how far along is she? Sometimes it is more risky to spay them that late and abort the kittens, then it is to just let them have them. Also ethics come into play as well. A cat's gestation is only about  8 weeks so a couple weeks delay and she may very well be due any time now.

I have to agree with some of the posters here if you let your cat outside you really should have it desexed  or spayed should I say. from what I read a heat cycle last 7-10 days and they go through heat cycles every 14-21 days until the get pregnant. so really if she is going to be a outdoor indoor cat she really should be desexed.

I hope her pregnancy goes well.. but please, please get her spayed after this litter. She's just a baby herself!

Do you know when she is due?

It's good that you found nice homes for the first kittens.

It's great that you found good homes for the first litter, but it is still very hard on your very young cat to be having kittens.

It sounds like she is getting closer for sure. Just keep an eye on her.

You really need to keep her inside at all times now.

If her nipples are chapped you can rub some olive or vegetable oil on them for relief. Or use Udder Balm. You don't want her nipples too sore for nursing soon.

Are you keeping her inside now? And did you put oil on her nipples?

It sounds like she is progressing normally.
