    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!

    God bless you and the kitties all! Thank you for taking her in and having her checked out and giving her a good, safe place to have her babies.

    Don't even think about giving her back to anyone claiming to be her "owner." They sure weren't taking very good care of her.

    Oh, believe me - I would be VERY suspicious of anyone claiming to be the owner! It's a real long shot to find the owner anyway. There is an extremely slim chance that anybody looking for her. I'm glad she's indoors as well. I did understand my mom's concerns and respected them. Thankfully it all worked out for the better.

    This little lady needed a caring hooman and she sure found one! I am so glad momma and her kitties will be safe inside. If you keep her, if her real owner comes for her, or if you adopt her out, she will definitely be better off than she was when you found her. Such a pretty girl!!!
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!
