This is our girl, she appears to have gotten pregnant please understand that we tried getting her brother neutered several months ago and he was very underweight, lots of good stuff and TLC and he grew up and matured very fast. I have a limited income and the low cost neutering place put us on the bottom of the list for his neutering which is scheduled for the last week here in November. I have no clue how far Harley is because she never went into heat. Can anyone please help me figure out how far along she is? I have nesting boxes set up, kmr and a kit set up, but I need a estimate if anyone cares to guess. The vet said she may have hat a silent heat. These kittens will be fixed dewormed and given shots once they are old enough I will find them awesome homes. We messed up, bit this won't happen again. I rescued all my kids and I will not let this happen again. All advice is appreciated.

No I honestly thought she was just gaining some weight then two days ago I was like oh gosh she's pregnant. I keep kitten supplies and a basic kit around because I'm the crazy cat lady. I made her the nesting boxes and she is eating up a storm and they are pink.I help with neighborhood rescue missions we had a huge stray issue bit I got them healthy and fixed and I know better than this. I feel awful about her getting pregnant,her "brother" was supposed to be a foster, then we fell in love with him thought at first he was a girl he was so tiny, then whoops he's a boy but wasn't big enough to neuter. I feel so guilty.

Try not to feel guilty. You're clearly a thoughtful pet owner and doing the best you can. And in the future you know to spay as soon as possible.

Yes, she will need to be spayed after this litter weans, regardless of her brother being neutered.

It's very tough to know how far along a cat is from a picture. They begin to show around 5 weeks, and once you can see or feel kitten movement it's generally another 2-3 weeks.

It sounds like you are prepared!
