What To Do With A Pregnant Stray Cat

It happens all too often. A family group or cat friend gets adopted by way of a stray cat. And after 2-3 weeks it turns out she's pregnant.

In the US alone there has to be millions of sweet but homeless cats. And most of them get pregnant repeatedly a year. Nobody really knows why, but pregnant strays often adopt a family group instead of the other way round. Maybe they search for support or a good and warm home for their kittens.

Now, perhaps you don't have the area or time for a cat family. Or there's another reason that means it is difficult to possess these kittens. But you never want to throw this stray out. She's expecting babies, isn't she?!

Now exactly what do you do?

You can take her to a dog shelter. That's not at all times a good idea.

Don't misunderstand me: I value the task of animal shelters. In reality, I got my current cat from one of them, and I'm pretty sure another will come from a housing too. However, many animal shelters reportedly put a pregnant stray to sleep. You'll blame yourself forever in the event that you hear the cat you brought in, was killed.

Other shelters will spay her. They've got a very good reason for that. The kitten population is astronomical and the past a dog shelter wants is put five more homeless cats in this world.

But maybe you have objections against spaying a pregnant cat - after all, it's abortion at the exact same time. Then a much better idea is bringing a pregnant stray to a local rescue group. In the US alone lots of rescue groups are active. Not all of them, but many let the queen have her kittens, and search a house for them.

But in the long run, probably the most satisfying alternative is to keep the cat yourself and let her give birth. Take good care of her. Have her examined by way of a vet to see if she's in good health. And get the right information so you are prepared for complications.

And remember: strays are accustomed to go wherever they want. So keep your doors closed. Otherwise she'll adopt someone else.
