‘This vet also said she isn’t as young as we thought - she reckons she’s about 9/10 months old but is just a teeny tiny cat.’: Couple’s rescue of a pregnant stray leads to a full house of felines, as they adopt the mother, and one of her adorable kittens

    So just over a week ago I was approached by this little girl in a pub br garden. The bar staff said she'd turned up a few days before and had been trying to get inside

    and scavenging for food. My friend and I thought it would be a good idea to take her home and she is currently living in my spare room.... I left my number with

    the pub and tried to find out if she belonged to anyone on social media but nothing. The poor thing was starving, but super friendly and litter trained so I

    think she must have been dumped. I took her to my vet who confirmed she's about 5/6 months old, not chipped and definitely pregnant. She was also full of fleas and worms

  • Well, that sure is quite the sad start to the story. It is simply criminal that a pawrent who took on responsibility for a cat child would throw them out into the cold of the street just because they had gotten pregnant. Which after all is a direct result of the pawrent not being responsible.

    which has now been treated. They wouldn't do a spay abort because they said I hadn't had her long enough and it could be someone else's cat. Bearing in mind I am happy to cover all these bills

    and she is not chipped and not in the best condition for such a young cat. Plus, the world doesn't need more kittens (as much as I love them). So yeah, she's in my spare room living her best

    life and waiting to give birth, which was not in the plan. I have two other cats (one has urinary issues, and is recovering from a blockage) so she's likely just a guest for the next few months.

    I will then get her spayed and vaccinated along with any kittens and try and find some good and deserving homes. But also appreciate any tips, it's hard work with

    three cats all on different diets and with her in the room on her own. I have started to introduce them which is actually going well, but they are only looking at each other from a good

  • Wow, this is one hella committed cat pawrent right here. Which makes it a lot less surprising that they felt it was their duty to care for this catto them randomly met. And also a heck of a lot more heartwarming, knowing that this pregnant feline would be getting the best care possible.

    Hi all! Some of you may have seen my previous post about the stray pregnant kitten I brought home and needed a second vet opinion on the spay/neuter.

  • 17

    Well we got into another vet today (originally tomorrow but they had a cancellation). They said she's due to give birth imminently so we're getting kittens.

    Fingers crossed for a maximum of 3 because we already have wonderful homes lined up - 2 with my friends brother and one with my husbands manager (though if there's four I'm sure

    she can be convinced two kittens are better than one). This vet also said she isn't as young as we (or the previous vet) thought - she reckons she's about 9/10 months old but

    is just a teeny tiny cat. Some of you also guessed that she was my husbands cat and you were right. He doesn't want to let her go so her name is Yuki (the only real gender neutral F1

    Some of you may remember Yuki and her kittens- they're now 12 weeks old! The girls have gone to their forever homes in the last couple of days and Lando goes today.

    The home we had for Checo Perez fell through, but he's the sweetest baby, so we're now keeping him too- what's one more cat... Pictures of Holly and Pixie are in their new homes. Yuki gets spayed on Friday.
