First, allow me to welcome you to TCS and to the Pregnant Cats and Kitten Care Forum! I am really glad you found us here.

I am happy to know that you are working on getting everyone spayed/neutered and know that you are doing your best to make that happen as soon as you can. But for the meantime, please allow me to give you a little advice.

Keep the 2 un-neutered males away from each other. Confine them (if you can) in separate rooms of your home, if you have two levels, put one up and one down until about a month after they are neutered. Most certainly keep them FAR away from your pregnant female as well as the female kitten and do not let any of your pets have access to the babies once they arrive.

The two un-neutered males do not get along simply because they ARE un-neutered males. They are fighting for control over territory and the females. If you aren't careful, they can really do a lot of injury to each other, only adding to the problems you already have.

The males are trying to mate with the pregnant female because they do not care if she is pregnant. She is female, they are male - that's what their instincts and hormones tell them to do. You must keep both of them away from her now at all times until about a month after both of them have been neutered. They can still impregnant an intact female for several weeks after the procedure.

the two males usually do stay away from each other one stays with my grandmother room with her and the other one stays with me in the living room. I put towls along with food and water and a litter box in a closest in and empty room we have in our apartment i showed it to my pregant one and she sat down for a little while and walked off to somewhere else i hope she picks that spot becuase thats rarly where any of the cats go but im really worryed about these kittens i dont want them to die or be killed i have good homes for most of them alreadys so im hoping they will be ok.

Milka....I have attached a link of low cost spay/neuter clinics in PA:

It will be very important to get the males neutered as soon as possible...not only do they pose a threat to the kittens...but intact females can become pregnant again as early as a week after giving birth. The best thing will be to keep all intact males away from your intact females until the females are spayed. The reason is that a neutered male still carries fertile sperm for a few weeks after the neuter has been done.

If you don't have enough room I would put the pregnant female in a bathroom (if you can't give her her own room with the door closed). At least the last week in the pregnancy get her away from the commotion. When the kittens arrive, she won't have much need to be wandering around anywhere so even a small place like a bathroom is plenty big for her and her litter, as well as keeping her isolated from the rest of your cats.

You need to keep ALL the cats separated. Kittens as young as 4 or 5 months old have gotten pregnant. Two unneutered males WILL fight each other. And chances are that both males have mated with your pregnant female, so the kittens can have both as fathers.

After everyone is spayed/neutered, things will settle down. One other thing is the male is fertile for about a month after being neutered, so you have to keep them away from any unspayed females.

Not to mention she can conceive a second litter while still pregnant. The problem is usually once the labor starts all kittens will be delivered even if premature . I would make every effort to get her away from the males. And like goldenkitty said, the kitten too.
