Can anyone tell me how far along my kitty is? And yes I'm keeping all the kittens and will care for them.
Its advanced for sure!   You dont have any more  decisive moments to count out the time=?

When did she sneaked out / mated, when her nipples got rosy, when you had began to feel the kittens move?

You DO feel them kittens move, or not yet?

Is this cat the mother of the litter you have already been caring for?

And what has become of those kittens?

Yes out of her six litter from the first pregnancy two of the kittens passed away because they were sick and the vet said they might not survive and the 4 other cats are living with me

The kittens are moving a lot in her stomach. She looks about ready but all I know is that my mom said that she might of had been pregnant since July.

Yeah, sure!   :)

Anyway, you can usually feel the kittens move 2-3 weeks before the delvery.  So this is a good way to rectyfie the count, as the bridgeplayers say.

They do move, but unlike humans, they cant survive a too early delivery more than perhaps 2 days, maximum 3.   So better one day extra, than one day too early...  Unlike humans.

Good luck!

The four kittens that are alive and living with me
If they are healthy and well socialized, they shouldnt be difficult to find new homes for.  Them being used to a friendly dog is a plus too...

Take some charge for them, or at least, let the new owner donate some money to a good cause in the name of the cat  - "free kittens to a good home" is dangerous for them - attracts weirdos.

Otherwise you will soon get aplenty of cats, perhaps too many.

Dont forget to spay the mom when she is done.

Mom cat already had a spay appointment but they wouldn't operate her because she was quote "still breastfeeding" and I have told them she wasn't breastfeeding. I tried to keep my cat inside but when you would enter the house she would run out fast and I couldn't get her to come back inside. Yes, the kittens love the dogs and love to play and they behave good. The new litter of kittens will stay here and I have friends and family who want to care for a cat and have them at their home to stay. I'm just waiting till she gives birth to see how many she has this time. All the kittens are scheduled to get spayed and soon the mom cat will be getting spayed after I know she's in good condition to go under the surgery needed.

The mom must be spayed after this litter. She must be kept in a room with her kittens and not allowed out under any circumstances whatsoever, or she will get pregnant again and again.

If your vet won't spay her while she still has milk, find a vet who will. Most cats continue to nurse after a spay. She can be spayed when the kittens are 6-7 weeks old.

If the kittens are very active inside her she may still have a couple of weeks to go.

Is there a problem with the calico kitten's eye, or was it just closed in that picture?

They are very sweet looking kittens!
