Surprise!! Surprise!! SURPRISE!!!!!

Wow! What a surprise. I wonder if the father is the orange cat that was with Sweetpea. Whatever you decide to do I just want you to know that you have my full support.

When I was a young girl we had a female cat and she became pregnant at probably around 6 months old. She had 6 babies and they all survived and she didn't have any complications. Before we could get her spayed she got pregnant again and had 5 more babies without any complications. We were shocked that this could happen so quickly so we had her spayed as soon as we could so this wouldn't happen again. We found homes for all of her kittens.

Oh gosh Lorraine!! What a shocker this is. I feel so sad that this sweet girl is pregnant and is still a kitten herself.

I think I would lean towards the immediate spay myself. My feeling is simply that the overpopulation problem is so huge already. But, I know this is your decision to make and I support that 100%. You still did the RIGHT thing for her by taking her in. I hope you can soon find a purrfect home for her (or maybe she is already there?)

HUGS to you my friend!

Good luck in your decision, Lorraine. What a tough situation! I think my decision would have to be based on what is best for "mom", right now. Poor little dear is only a baby herself! I've never had a pregnant cat, always made sure that mine were spayed right away, but then again, I've only ever had tiny kittens who were female, and i could control that. And of course, I stopped any future populating, immediately, when Butter (boy) came through my door, unneutered.

I hope the little mama and her babies will be just fine.

Oh Lorraine, that's truly a surprise!! Poor poor little kitty, just a baby herself, and already pregnant.

I wish I had any advice for you here, but I've never been in a situation like this. I think I would listen to the vet's advice to be honest, but it's so hard to tell what's the right thing to do...
