"Minky" the mother of five kittens (approximately 3-4 wks) is nursing and allowing me to assist with bottle-feeding. I intend to take in the kittens and have them adopted when of age.
I am planning on some TNR for all the adult females from the colony including Minky. At what point, can I have her spayed? I would like her to continue nursing her babies as long as possible.
Also, what are the opinions out there on spaying while pregnant? Is it very stressful to the female or in the end, is it better for mother & unborn to just end the pregnancy?
