***** UPDATE 7/10/11: kitty is actually about 3 years old. Healthy overall and FELV/FIV negative. Confirmed pregnant via ultrasound. No microchip. Is in the bathroom now. Should have babies very soon. *****
So my mom went out to the porch today and there was this black and white kitty semi-hiding by a tree. She came inside to tell me. I went out with some water and my mom approached her and gave her the dish. She was a tad standoffish. I went back and got some dry food. She finished it very quickly and I brought a can of Fancy Feast out. She ran up and meowed her head off at me! She was so hungry.
I could tell immediately that she was pregnant. She seems to be in pretty good condition overall, her coat could be much shinier but it's ok, her eyes are clear and she looks fairly clean.
She's super duper friendly and follows me *everywhere*! She's so tiny, I would estimate her @ about 7-8 months old but I'm not good at telling age.
My mom is afraid to have her inside until we have her FELV/FIV tested and see if she has parasites so she is staying on the heavily shaded porch with plenty of hiding places, including a carrier, a giant box with a beach towel in it, a few tables and chairs and lots food & water. I'm praying that she stays safe tonight and waits a while to have her babies. The earliest appointment I could get at the vet was 3:00 but it's better than nothing. After the vet tomorrow she'll live in the bathroom.
More pics to come later.
Cross your fingers for a healthy checkup tomorrow and a safe (but not too soon) delivery.
