just picked up a pregnant cat two days ago from our local shelter. She actually just raised a litter and managed to get pregnant again. She’s about two weeks away from delivery and we’ve noticed she’s sleeping a lot more and eating less than she was on the first day. She’s fully switched over to kitten food and was eating 2 cans a day and now she’s eating about 3/4-1 can a day. Is this normal? Should I be concerned

Hi! How are things now?
Do you have a vet you can talk with?

she had a checkup at the clinic right before we picked her up, they didn't x-ray her so they don't know how many are in there. (Hoping everyone's healthy!!)

She's been eating better, still very sleepy, doesn't want to move out of the box we've set up for her (is this normal considering she's still two weeks away) We can email our local shelter's RVT's whenever we need to and a vet is sometimes available in emergencies. Hoping everything goes well.

She shouldn't be this lethargic with two weeks to go. I would get her to a vet.

She’s eating and drinking and using the litter box regularly, should I still take her in? Our vet is super busy

It's up to you. I think I would, since you've already noticed such a change in eating habits and energy.
