I WAS THINKING OFSPAYING THE CAT BUT I THINK THE CAT IS TO FAR ALONG IN HER PREGNANCY TO KILL THE KITTENS. SO HOW LONG UNTIL I CAN GIVE THE KITTENS AWAY? ALSO CAN I GET HELP TO GET HER SPAYED OR NUTERED? MY FUNDS ARE EXTERMELY LOW.

Normally 8-12 weeks. The kittens need to learn a lot from their mother so any sooner and they could have behavioural problems.
Look up blue cross, or contact your nearest shelter about spaying.

The time is 6-8 weeks , no longer than eight weeks is needed.Unless you KNOW that the person you give a kitten to WILL definitely have it fixed, I suggest taking the kittens to the SPCA ,kittens are adopted quickly and NO animal is adopted until they are spayed/neutered.A cat can have a litter every 4 (four) months ! You should feed the Momma cat Kitten Chow now and after she has her kittens ,this will give her the nutrition she needs.The SPCA or SNAP (Spay Neuter Assistance Program)both offer a lower fee than the Vet to spay/neuter

a kitten who is younger than 8 weeks old should never be separated from their mothers. They have not been properly weaned yet. If your kitten is not taking any interest in it's surroundings, be wary. When they're not sleeping or nursing, they should be playing, exploring, and running around as much as they can. And make sure that the kitten you find a home for can walk and run on it's own. But make sure you get the mother spayed! It doesn't cost much. It costs more to take care of a litter of kittens!!

Spaying when pregnant varies from vet to vet. The one I use won't after 4 weeks and another has spayed a dog ready to deliver which I have mixed feelings about. If your funds are that low then you need to give the cat to someone who can afford to take care of it. This is your duty if you truly care about animals. To do otherwise is just selfish.And by the way it's extremely, not extermely.

The mammary (breast) progression featuring nursing can make the spay surgical treatment tougher. ideally, a month after weaning facilitates regression of this tissue and spaying can proceed. regrettably, it really is accessible for a lady cat to develop into pregnant in this waiting era if her proprietor isn't careful.

8 to 12 weeks. 12 weeks is only neccessary if you are giving them shots from the vet, which it sounds like you arent.

Not much. As soon as they are separated and pushed away by their mother and they stop feeding on her milk.
