Picking Up Pregnant Foster On Friday.

[Ladysnuggable]

Hello fellow cat people! I've been rescuing socializing and adopting out kittens that I've caught in the area for some time. Now that were getting into kitten season I got a coworker with a pregnant feral/ stray that he takes care of. She is very friendly and I will be taking her in this Friday. I've never had a pregnant cat before so this will be a first. I'd love love love some advice on how to make her extra comfortable. If shes as hand-able as my coworker says we will be getting a vet visit quickly to make sure shes in good health!

How exciting! And probably a bit nerve-wracking, as well. For any specific questions, our advisers will be around to help out.

Meanwhile, here's a couple TCS articles that may be helpful:

Let us know when you bring the mama home. And please post pictures.

Got her last night shea super friendly! My coworker asked me to try to adopt her out which is great I'd prefer her inside. She is settling in am xxxl dog cage with a blanket over part of it. she's got a bed a small box lottttts of food water and a litter pan. When I went to feed her this morning she was like LOVE ME. So she's not even mad at being brought here lol. She's not a fan of other cats right now she doesn't get violent or hiss just a warning growl to back up. I'll add more pictures later on. She's so fat!

That's great that you have her home with you now. That will give her some time to get settled before the babies come.

She must stay inside now to have her kittens. It’s not safe outside.

I know that.That's why i got her. She was a coworkers feral that he was feeding
As soon as he noticed she was pregnant he contact me the "walmart cat lady" because he knew I'd take her in foster her and her family and adopt everyone out to good homes.

Got two homes lined up so far for unborn kittens! Gonna try to get two more lined up and a few maybes then gonna find a home for momma who ive been called love bug

Momma Lovey as I've been calling her is doing good shes about 3 weeks pregnant eats SO much lol. I've been giving her kitten chow and wet food as recommended by the vet to make sure shes getting extra nutrients. I'm so excited fro the babies. I'm also on call now for kitten rescue. A coworker recommend me to a customer for abandoned kitten pick up. shes found an abandoned litter every year sense she moved here. I'm also going to do some TNR in her area after i take our current resident fosters to get fixed.

[Ladysnuggable]

[Ladysnuggable]

Yes I have. She is also like SUPER into her water i've filled the bowl three times today and she will empty it. Also I believe her belly dropped today it looks lower and more pointed out. Also having loose stool. this is my first kitty pregnancy so I'm going off other peoples information on what I should be expecting 8D I don't know what is good or bad information. But shes sweet safe and happy and looking like shes gonna POP.

Momma neatly moved her blanket across the cage it was so cute and funny to watch she was like Nah girl you made this all wrinkly.
