Hi when did you get her ? Sorry does she have a vets appointment Monday? There are lots of threads on here which help with pregnant cats and kitten care you should refer to.

Welcome to the Cat Site!
What questions do you have about your pregnant cat?
I would suggest you feed her a wet kitten food, or kitten kibble. Wet is better! Just be sure that it is specifically for kittens. Kittens tend to need more protein than adult cats, and you can find the most protein in canned wet foods(for kittens!!).
It's important mom gets the same stuff they need so that they can have a decent body weight at birth. This could make the difference between life and death!

Thank you for taking in a pregnant kitty. Glad she's getting to the vet on Monday. Keep us posted on how she's doing.

How long have you had her? Have you been seeing or feeling kitten movement in her belly?

She may be ready to have her kittens, but it is difficult for us to know how far along she is without more information. However, temperature is not a reliable indicator.

Do you plan to spay your cat after this litter weans?

Please do not let her outside anymore at all until after she is spayed.

It would also be helpful to know where you got her.
