thank you all for the replys.
the vets all said that with her being a stray, if we brought her in, they'd have to put her out to be able to examine her, & that would harm any kittens in her. they said that even though only one kitten is rare, she may be done.
We did this exact same thing last fall with a different stray mama & that labor & birthing went perfectly-four beautiful kittens- one of which we kept, plus we kept that mama & she is the mushiest lovebug kat you've ever seen. We believe that the mama we have now is the sister to the one in our "cattery".
Your prayers are appreciated.
thank you.
