pregnant stray

jfriedel · Apr 25, 2016

I found a pregnant stray cat. I was wondering how to tell how far along she is. I can't feel the kittens moving inside her. She is still eating and no milk yet. Can someone help me

It's usually 2-3 weeks after you can feel them moving. Feed her as much kitten food, wet and dry, as she will eat.

Can you keep her inside until she can be spayed? Thank you so much for taking her in!

jfriedel · Apr 25, 2016

I'm going to keep her. The fur around her boobs is almost gone. She is huge.

Can you post a picture of her? She may be close to her time.

Yep, she's close. Do you have supplies ready in case you need to help?

What do you think

jfriedel · Apr 25, 2016

She has a whole room to herself. I have 3 boxes set up and a big dog bed. What do you think I will need? I will get it

Sarthur2 · Apr 25, 2016

She is definitely pregnant. I would guess she has some time left - a couple of weeks perhaps. I think she's going to get bigger. Is she eating a lot?

jfriedel · Apr 25, 2016

I just read the list. I will but everything tomorrow. Should I take her to the vet tomorrow to

jfriedel · Apr 25, 2016

All she does is eat, sleep, and drink.

Sarthur2 · Apr 25, 2016

It would not hurt to get her checked and de-wormed. Also flea medicine if she needs it. The vet may be able to tell you how far along she is, though an x-ray would tell for sure, as well as how many kittens.

It's always good to get the supplies on hand!

I'm glad she's eating well! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

She is a very sweet cat. I will keep her and try to find homes for the babies when they are old enough. Then get her fixed.

Mom and babies can all be fixed when the babies are 8 weeks old. Will she be entirely indoors now?

Thank you for giving her a new life!

She won't ever go outside again. Where I live there are tons of stray cats. And animal control won't pick up stray cats. So they just keep mating. I wish I could help more of them

Sarthur2 · Apr 25, 2016

Maybe you could get a local rescue organization involved, to help trap, neuter/spay, and return the strays. Is it a colony? Or just random strays? Do people feed them? It's sad to see so many strays. They have a tough life.

jfriedel · Apr 25, 2016

Ok the cat had 5 healthy kittens today. 3 tabbies and 2 black and white.

Here are the babies

Sarthur2 · Apr 28, 2016

Congrats! They look healthy. Are they nursing well?

jfriedel · Apr 28, 2016

They are nursing great. She is a good mother. She won't leave the room. She is with them all the time, except when she needs to eat or drink. She never made a noise before or when having them.
