Hi Everyone,
I'm new here and this is my first post. I decided to join because after reading posts everyone seems very nice and helpful! I currently have 3 cats; one I rescued from the local shelter, the second I rescued as a kitten under a trailer, and the third i got from my husbands sister because she didn't want him anymore and was going to take him to the shelter. They are all loving neutered adult males. However, recently about a week and a half ago while my husband and I were walking out the door we saw a beautiful white cat next door under a tree but nobody lives there and it's up for sale. So we walked up to it an it was so friendly but it was so skinny! I turned around an behind a bush was another cat I called it over to me and it was just as friendly but in even worse condition it was bare bones. So me an my husband scooped them up an put them on our closed in porch away from our other 3 cats and gave them some water and went to the store like planned but picked them up some kitten food. Well yesterday we gave them a bath while on the porch to get the fleas off and decided to move them inside toward our kitchen. We have a little room with windows an then a few stairs that leads into the basement. So we moved them there an close the door so my 3 cats can't come into direct contact with them. They are now more comfortable. They are both females and are eating an drinking normal an using the litter box. But still the orange one is very skinny but seems to be putting on some weight slowly. However today I was petting the orange one when I picked her up I felt her nipples and they were long and kinda round at the end. But they are so skinny feeling. I think she might be pregnant! And her little tummy is kinda hard. But not sure if its bc she is finally eating again. I plan on taking them to the vet soon to get shots and spayed, etc. Because I plan on keeping them if the vet says they are good to go, because the shelters around here are full to the max and are refusing any animals you bring in. An they are just precious! They seem to be less than a year old. Maybe 6 months but it's hard to tell on the orange one bc how emancipated she is. But is this possible for her to be pregnant when she is so emancipated? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have never been around a pregnant animal before. Thanks everyone in advance!
