If she's allowed to roam outdoors, then she is almost definitely pregnant and from your description she sounds rather far along. I would take her to a vet regardless for a check up and discuss a neutering plan.

Schedule a vet visit to make sure shes healthy. And keep her indoors so she doesnt give birth outside or gets injured and its unable to care for her babies. It's recommended kittens stay with their mom for 8 weeks. Then from there, you can rehome them.

Should I send you a pic of her stomach so you can see what I’m talking about?

This website is very complete and will help you to know what to do. At this point it is important that you keep her inside. Nine months is very young and she will need a safe place inside for herself and the kittens.

You can still get a lot of help here during this time, but taking her to a vet is a good idea as they can help you and let you know when the babies might be due. If she has been indoor and outdoor on a regular basis this might be hard to determine but do you think you know when she got pregnant? Did you notice a heat cycle or hear calling or see her mate? Just trying to determine how far along she is.

11 months is still young. You def dont want her to have babies outside with all those yuckies out there. Kittens are so prone to getting sick

You probably dont need to go to a vet NOW if you are tight on money, and she seems reasonably healthy.... But of course, do continue to prepare for her babies.... They are surely coming in about 2 weeks, Read on, get home some gears... Be sure she gets good, calcium rich food. Goats milk is a good tip.

The main advantage with a vet visit now, is, you get registered as a paying patient, and will have it easier to phone and ask questions if such need arises. Or demand to rush her in in an emergency.

She’s definitely pregnant. Prepare for kittens and plan to spay your cat when the kittens are 8 weeks old. You can post a picture of her. We’d love to see her belly as well as the rest of her! Please keep her inside only until she is spayed.
