So I had a post a couple of days ago about how I wasn't planning on adopting a little male kitten into the family. Upon browsing Craigslist (my first and fatal mistake) I found a one year old female persian. She was doll faced with a perfect button nose and solid white with green eyes. I had to have her of course.
So I drove the two and a half hours away on the promise of her already being spayed, up to date on shots, and in perfect condition.
Well upon arrival she had been kept outside, number one red flag. She had a huge scab on her neck from a "fight" and she had fleas. No records of said shots.
I took her anyway. She is the sweetest cat I have ever met in my entire life and she won me over instantly and I had to get her out of that situation. I've since brushed her and cleaned her and gotten her as beautiful as I can, but I guess what I'm getting at is she wasn't spayed.
I'm nearly 90% positive she's pregnant as well.
Tight round tummy, big and bright pink nipples. No spay scar at all.
I only got her yesterday, so I'm taking her to the vet first thing tomorrow for a sure opinion.
Just wondering what signs to look out for in the meantime to try and determine whether she really is or not. It doesn't matter to me, I love her and I've raised enough kittens to be ready for this but I just think the circumstances around this all are just horrible.
I will upload pictures when I get a chance to take some
