Preggo kitty wandered onto my porch! *started a new thread*

[Malibu's Mom]

This thread was getting big so I decided to make a new one to track their progress. Click here for the new thread

***** UPDATE 7/10/11: kitty is actually about 3 years old. Healthy overall and FELV/FIV negative. Confirmed pregnant via ultrasound. No microchip. Is in the bathroom now. Should have babies very soon. *****

So my mom went out to the porch today and there was this black and white kitty semi-hiding by a tree. She came inside to tell me. I went out with some water and my mom approached her and gave her the dish. She was a tad standoffish. I went back and got some dry food. She finished it very quickly and I brought a can of Fancy Feast out. She ran up and meowed her head off at me! She was so hungry.

I could tell immediately that she was pregnant. She seems to be in pretty good condition overall, her coat could be much shinier but it's ok, her eyes are clear and she looks fairly clean.

She's super duper friendly and follows me *everywhere*! She's so tiny, I would estimate her @ about 7-8 months old but I'm not good at telling age.

My mom is afraid to have her inside until we have her FELV/FIV tested and see if she has parasites so she is staying on the heavily shaded porch with plenty of hiding places, including a carrier, a giant box with a beach towel in it, a few tables and chairs and lots food & water. I'm praying that she stays safe tonight and waits a while to have her babies. The earliest appointment I could get at the vet was 3:00 but it's better than nothing. After the vet tomorrow she'll live in the bathroom.

More pics to come later.




Cross your fingers for a healthy checkup tomorrow and a safe (but not too soon) delivery.

Fingers and paws crossed for this beautiful tuxie lady! Bless you for helping her!

Awww, what a pretty girl, hopefully everything goes okay with the vet trip tomorrow! She's such a tiny girl to be so pregnant!

[Malibu's Mom]

Thanks cassiesmom and Karen!! Forgot to mention that I posted a very visible flyer and also put her in the lost & found section on my local craigslist. I'll try to get her scanned for a microchip but I doubt she has one, being an unspayed randomly bred cat. You never know I suppose.

What a beauty... those eyes are just captivating!! I hope all goes well with the vet visit. Praying for a negative on the FIV/FeLV tests!!

Pets and lovies to the sweet momma to be!

[krazyaboutkatz]

She sure is adorable and she went to the right house. I hope that everything goes well with her vet visit. Please continue to keep us updated about her.

So young to be pregnant. Sure hope all goes well at the vet. Paws and fingers crossed.

She's beautiful, and she looks like she's ready to pop any minute! Good luck at the vet.

[Freedom]

She is beautiful! Looks a lot like my Tuppence.

I wouldn't return her to anyone who "claims" her, they obviously aren't caring for her properly!

Paws crossed all goes well at the vet today.

That poor Little Momma Cat , and All of Her Little Ctas of the Future to come.

We are praying that that Poor Mama Cat and Babies will be all right.

Thank God that she has found a place where she will be safe.
Bess you for helping the helpless.

Awee such a Very Pretty Lady.. Sure hope after her kittens are born & weaned then she will be able to be spayed.. Thanks for helping this momma..

What a sweet cat lady- and yes she definitely is pregnant. That may be the reason why she is on her own
All the best for her vet exam.

[Malibu's Mom]

I haven't seen her today yet. I am so stupid, I should have just brought her in anyway and dealt with any parasites that she might have myself. She was hanging around at about 4 am last night. Well, if/when she does come back I'll put her in the bathroom regardless. Ugh, I feel so sick to my stomach over my decision.

[Catty1]

She knows where food is...she'll be back, I am sure. {{{{hugs}}}}

Yes, they always come back when they find out where the food and love is.

Such a pretty kitty.
