Terminating kitty pregnancy poll?

[lv4dogs]

Depending upon how far along the mother was, say, 60 days (62-64 days is the gestation period of cats), I'd say no. But if she was in the early stages, I'd say absolutely. There are FAR too many unwanted, abandoned and abused cats in this world without bringing more in.

Thats what I would & do do too.

I was doing a job shadow last year at a local vet clinic and watched a zillion spays and neuters that day. One cat was pregnant, they just removed the kittens and threw them in the trash It was so heartbreaking But I do agree with moosmom, I think if the pregnancy is not that far along it would be in the best interest of the momma and kittens to terminate it, I wouldn't want to add to already ginormous unwanted cat population

regardless how far the mother is along, I would say term. BUT if the kittens were far along then they must be PTS, not just tossed in the trash to die!! Then I would burry them.

I only say this cause I worked at the shelter back home & the shelter was forced to kill 50 cats/week. They were picky on which cats were PTS, but still it sucked. The town had such an overpopulation of cats it had to be done. Many residents were killing cats left right & center, as it was that bad.

I remember waking up & seeing atleast 5 cats in our little yard & every night the cat fights would keep me up.

I personally think its horrible to but a healthy animal to sleep, but when there is nowhere for a pet to go in an old small town, sometimes its just best for the animal.
