Approximately when will she deliver?

[Cay14]

I’ve recently took in a barn cat because shes pregnant, I’ve had her inside for a week. I need help to determine when she’s going to deliver her kitty’s. I think she’s around week 8 but I have no clue. She has very large nipples, a small belly but she generally has had small litters, her belly is hard to the touch, her kittens are very active in the stomach, I believe she has nested but she’s in a small room so that’s hard to tell, and her nipples have like a cream colored flakiness on them but if you try to squeeze the nipple a little bit, there’s no milk. Please help me determine when she’s going to deliver because it’s driving me crazy lol, thank you!

It’s difficult to say, but most likely in the next week.

Have you considered getting her spayed so that she does not have to bear litter after litter and can retire as a happy barn cat after this litter?

 

[Cay14]

Yes. And I’ll keep an eye on her, thank you!

She’s is meowing a lot and looks like she’s looking for something in the room. Is this a sign she’s going to give birth soon?

 

[Sarthur2]

Does she have a nest in the room? Sounds like she may be scoping out a place to have the kittens soon.

 

[Cay14]

I’m pretty sure she does, she’s been favoring this one spot in the room more than the other spots.

 

[Cay14]

Yes! She has discharge now. I’m so excited

 

[Sarthur2]

Have you made a nest for her in her favorite spot - a box with a blanket or towels?

Discharge is a good sign!

 

[Cay14]

Yes I have

She had delivered 3 beautiful kittens during the night! Really thought she would only deliver one, but I’m so happy!

Congrats! Are all three kittens nursing well?

 

[Cay14]

Yes, they are doing really well and the mom is taking great care of them. Thank you!
