My husband and I just rescued a new cat. We already have 3 + 1 dog (I know a full house!) Anyway I took her to the vet for a check up and to get her shots before exposing her to my other cats. While there the vet told me she was pregers!!!! Like I said I already have 3 cats, she made 4!!! I don't know what to do. I can't have more cats. I've already asked around to see if I could find homes for the little ones - but no takers. Should I get her fixed anyway?? I don't know what to do. She's already 1/2 way through the pregnancy. The vet thinks there is only 2-3 kittens in there. Please don't be mean. I really just need some advice. Thanks!!!

Yes after she has her litter...I have alot of animals as well and with female cats mating season is never ending if the female does not mate..
I have two females and they never stop being in heat..They are in house pets never been outside and still would like to get them fixed but the money is my problem since I have dogs too..lots of them
I have two adult pitbulls with three pups still here...My adult male has been fixed and working on getting the male pup done...wheww...*smiling**
My female pit had a liter of 13 and all lived with grandma's help..

good luck my friend and
Blessed Be to YOU!~!!!!

If you can't find any homes for the unborn kittens then you should definitely get your cat fixed straight away. If you wait until the kittens are born then you should get your cat fixed then. A fixed cat will lead a healthier life and you wont have to worry about something like this in the future. There are far too many feral cats and stray dogs in the world, it's very important to spay/neuter your pet. I know I sound like some really bad advert on tv, but it's true.

The last thing this old world needs is two or three more unwanted kitties. I would say yes, have the cat aborted, and fixed. I am an avid animal lover and hate to see any animal killed borned or unborned. They do it to humans every day. It will cost a little more, but I believe you will be doing everyone involved a great justest, even the unborned kittens. I know this a tough decission for anyone who loves and respects life. In the long run, I believe you will feel better,( not good), about it. Good luck, and God bless.

Hi there. Ask your vet. Many will spay a pregnant cat and destroy the offspring. It saves the kittens from ending up in a shelter to be destroyed and saves you from treating their health problems. Many stray cats give birth to kittens with eye infections and sometimes deformities, and metabolic problems.Your decision is yours alone. If you care what other people think, then know that personal growth comes from making a stand on your own. Everything will work out. Have a purrfect year.

Often the vet will take unwanted kittens. Also, check with a local shelter. Other than that, there are already enough animals on the streets with no homes, get her fixed.

some vets will do paediatric neutering yet there is at times a raffle that the cat could be 0.5 neutered. (purely one testicle is discovered and bumped off). My opinion is to enable him get to 5-6 months so as that the two considered one of his testicles might desire to be desended into the scrotum that way there is not any danger of him having to have a 2nd surgical operation to detect the different. I even have seen this ensue on a pair activities. Male cats can usually start up spraying around 6 months and up. As for crystals from being fastened to early, i individually have by no potential heard of that. I even have purely wide-unfold that male cats should not be fed a relentless food plan of fishy DRY food simply by fact it could reason crystals of their urine which finally leads to blockages.

put an add in the paper for the kittens around your local area. then carefully screen the potential owners to make sure they are going to good homes. After all the kittens are gone, DEFINATELY get her spayed. It will stop anymore unwanted litters and have your cat live a much longer, happier life.

This is tough. Kitty abortion sounds so sad! :(
I think you should let her have them, put ads on Craigslist for good homes then get her fixed as soon as they're given away. I know it's tough to have a litter of kittens in the house, but you have 3 months to find them good homes.

Let her have the kittens and when they are weaned, call a few cat rescue places or place an ad on petfinder asking for a small adoption fee.

The Humane Society will fix her for free (they'll ask for a donation) & get the kittens adopted.
