Taken in a stray - shes pregnant, please help!
Today my partner called from work, a cat has been living at their work yard for a few days. I went to go pick her up and took her to the vets and low and behold, she hasn’t been chipped. Shes also very pregnant which I presumed due to her belly and pinker swollen nipples . We have another Cat who is absolutely fuming about the situation, but thats another story. For now we are following general advice of keeping separate and swapping scents and we have set her up a living space in the front room.
What do I need to know regarding pregnancy and birth? Do I keep the cats separate until after birth? Should I keep my other cat away until the kittens are gone after 8 weeks? We weren’t planning for this financially and are on a budget. Lots of vets appts aren’t possible but will do what we can, and once this is all over she will be chipped and more importantly, spayed.
She has settled well, shes super chill. Shes eating loads and drinking a-lot and sleeping a-lot. We have named her Pippa.
