It happens all too often. A family or cat friend gets adopted by a stray cat. And after a few weeks it turns out she's pregnant.
In the US alone there must be millions of sweet but homeless cats. And many of them accumulate pregnant several times a year. Nobody really knows why, but pregnant strays often adopt a family instead of the other contrivance round. Maybe they search for relieve or a apt and warm home for their kittens.
Now, perhaps you don't have the state or time for a cat family. Or there's another reason that makes it difficult to have these kittens. But you don't want to throw this stray out. She's expecting babies, isn't she?!
Now what can you do?
You could pick her to an animal shelter. That's not always a pleasant belief.
Don't rep me wrong: I value the work of animal shelters. In fact, I got my unusual cat from one of them, and I'm glorious obvious the next will arrive from a shelter too. But some animal shelters reportedly set aside a pregnant stray to sleep. You'll blame yourself forever if you hear the cat you brought in, was killed.
Other shelters will spay her. They've got a salubrious reason for that. The kitten population is vast and the last an animal shelter wants is achieve five more homeless cats in this world.
But maybe you have objections against spaying a pregnant cat - after all, it's abortion at the same time. Then a far better opinion is bringing a pregnant stray to a local rescue group. In the US alone dozens of rescue groups are active. Not all of them, but many let the queen have her kittens, and search a home for them.
But in the slay, perhaps the most satisfying alternative is to hold the cat yourself and let her give birth. pick capable care of her. Have her examined by a vet to peek if she's in honorable health. And regain the lawful information so you are prepared for complications.
And remember: strays are musty to go wherever they want. So sustain your doors closed. Otherwise she'll adopt someone else.
