Bee9212,
Lol... I hear ya.. But, I am feeding the strays in my neighborhood, w/garage door open a crack, & food inside. Yur kitty looks just like Squeeky did when she was inside for a month... Shortly b4 delivery... I suggest you wake-up every nite & check her. Is she really crated? Or is crate in backround for something else? Cats don't usually do crates, if she is, then if she gives birth in middle of nite, it will be easier on you... Our Squeeky (she meow's w/a high pitched Squeek when she see's us!) she's still just a kitten herself, she had 9 babies all over our family room (still don't have all blood up from carpet!!) when hubby & I checked her in morning we were collecting newborns from everywhere, it was s cold nite, I forgot to turn up heat higher, so kittens were freezing to death! We lost one (prob the 1st one-it looked healthy, but too cold[emoji]128549[/emoji]) we warned, rubbed, cleaned, put under our shirts the remaining 8!!! What a morning!! Momma jumped into gear w/us there. (Still dunno why she didn't use the birthing bed we set-up? She was prob Verry confused?!) once a heating pad was put under the towel in birthing bed, she jumped in & didn't leave them all day! My birthing bed was an idea I got from a NY woman who made a warm place for strays to sleep & keep warm, using a Rubbermaid big square container w/lid, insulated it w/silver bubble packing looking stuff, and taped it w/insulating tape, lid too. The handles had sir holes in them, & put in an inexpensive cat door. Worked great. Got too hot, took off lid, and when they looked a bit squeezy in there we got them a much larger box. It's SOO cute to watch kittens 'wobble' when walking...[emoji]128512[/emoji][emoji]10083[/emoji]
Soooo, after all that, I think 2 weeks or less(prob less). Good Luck!! Bless You for what you, too, do!!!

.. We had a ringworm outbreak from a foster mom and her babies last year that was a complete nightmare and took many months to get rid of!! Since then, quarantine happens in the garage with separate sets of clothing until they are deemed ''bug-free''
