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

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.

Ok, she's back as you all predicted. We were very glad to see eachother - I was glad because I was worried, she was glad because she knew I'd give her a can of wet food I know today will be stressful for her but I'm hoping she forgives me soon. I'm such a bundle of nerves right now but I'm working on it. This would be the first birth I've had to deal with - thank goodness I have a friend who has been breeding cats for several decades as a lifeline if I need it.

Yay! Good girl, tuxie kitty! Please don't go far from the porch.

Do you have her inside now? If she's close to giving birth & has them
outside, you might never find them. Momma cats hide them pretty well.
Thank you so much for helping her & good luck with the little ones. I'm
glad you have someone nearby you can call if you have questions.

Glad she's back. Cats have a sense about where to be. I take it you didn't make it to the vet today?

Princess Chelsea Pearl was about that age when I adopted her - she too was very very preggers.....
Brought her home on a Monday and she gave me four kittens the next night! Lots of stuff online about being a kitty midwife.
Good luck!

I did get her to the vet today, sooo sorry I didn't update earlier!! She is much older than I estimated (thank goodness), over 1 and probably about 3. She's definitely preggers (ultrasound confirmed), FELV/FIP negative, no microchip, in good general health. Vet didn't think to count the babies when he ultrasounded (not my usual vet!) but he said to expect 3-6. She is in the bathroom chillin' behind the toilet. I have her set up with a big dog kennel with a box in the back, litter box, food & water and a few toys. She charmed the vet and the vet techs of course. She's such a sweetie. She kneaded the entire time. I'm trying not to fall in love because she might not get along with other cats or dogs, or she might have an owner that wants her back. But it's so hard not to!

Will get some pics when she's relaxed a bit more.

Thank goodness, though she is still a delicate gal, hopefully she does okay with giving birth and all. I am glad you made it to the vet, and that she's safely inside!
