I have a question. How soon after delivery can a mother cat get pregnant?

My husband tells me that she will not be able to get pregnant while she is nursing her litter and I'm not sure I agree.

Your husband's wrong. I had an outside cat... had kittens, within ONE WEEK she was ALREADY pregnant.

I am fostering Sugartoes, who got pregnant 2-3 weeks after delivering her last litter. You must keep the Momma cat locked indoors until she can be spayed when the babies are 8 weeks old.

Where my cats are
My friend's cat got pregnant 2 time immediately after having a litter. It was horrible...but unfortuantely there was a person in the house who shall remain nameless that kept letting her out.

My friend's cat ended up having 5 litters because she kept getting out after her kittens were weaned. That is why I highly recommend keeping the momma cat in an interior room with no access outdoors until it can be fixed.
