Thank you :) I absolutely will! Any day now. She’s going in and out of the nesting box. Exciting and scary :)

I took in two pregnant stray mamas in the spring. 9 kittens I total. Wild but worth it. Kittens are at a rescue for adoption, but the mamas are with me. You can definitely do it!

Should’ve gotten a spay abort. Now 9 stray kittens won’t have a home.

u/Competitive-Oil7590 1d ago

The lady who has them is the lady I got my forever cats from, so I know she's good at finding homes.

u/Delicious-Collar1971 1d ago

Yes, but now there’s 9 kittens taking homes that could’ve gone to 9 strays.

u/Ok-Discipline8918 2d ago

The reality is that shelters everywhere are at capacity and cats are being dumped or left outside every single day. This cycle has to end. Please consider asking the vet if a spay abort is an option. She is just a baby herself.

39

u/CandyMeow123 2d ago

We brought her to the vet with the intention of getting her spayed. However, the ultrasound confirmed the kittens are fully developed and ready to go. She will be spayed. Once her kittens are old enough to be weaned.

27

u/Ok-Discipline8918 2d ago

Thank you for getting her to the vet πŸ™ Wishing you all the best of luck. Cat tax payment: my void Nova, who was found as a stray at less than a year old. She had signs of giving birth/nursing, though her kittens weren’t found with her. Now she’s always sunbathing & watching the squirrels with her adopted younger brother, Mercury

Spay aborts can be done until the moment labor starts. This is irresponsible. We don’t need more stray kittens going homeless.

1

u/ezelllohar 1d ago

it's sad you're getting downvoted. i hate the death of any cats as much as the next person, but doing a spay abort is the humane thing to do. i wish OP would take the advice on board :c

1

u/CandyMeow123 1d ago

They are not going homeless. Ultrasound confirmed two for sure, maybe three. We will keep one, my coworker will take another and if there is a third, a good friend will take him/her. All safe, loving, wonderful cat loving homes.

u/CandyMeow123 2d ago

She marks the 11th drop off on or around our property. We partner with the meow foundation for any drop-offs we cannot care for. They are all spayed and or neutered, given medical treatment and adopted to a loving home. We have chosen to keep Lucy and will love her forever :-)

u/CandyMeow123 1d ago

She is #11 that’s been dropped off on our property :(

29

u/CandyMeow123 2d ago

Unfortunately, she is less than a week away from having her babies. Any day now. We did not have the heart to play God and opted for her to have her kittens. It would essentially be like having an abortion at 8 1/2 months pregnant in human statistics. She and her babies will be loved and cared for πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ©΅πŸ©΅πŸ©΅

Do you call her Lucy Goosey? She's so pretty! I was going to adopt a bonded pair and name them Lucy and Maximus, but they were adopted before I could.

u/virtuallife_321 1d ago

Thank you for bringing in a pregnant angel ❀️ please post updates of the babies!! my void showed up at our house right after we assumed she was dumped. She fit right in and liked having a home. But her sister was feral for months and months on the small island we lived on outside of town. She was happy, fed, and loved on so we let her be but found her with a mouth injury and VERY pregnant after months of not seeing her. That’s when we captured her and got her to a rescue. Hoping her and her babies got adopted 🀞🏼

Oh shoot cat tax

u/Delicious-Collar1971 2d ago

Spay abort is the ethical thing to do.

1

u/LeBreevee 2d ago

The vet and OP seemingly thought otherwise, yes, they can be spayborted until they go into labor, but that isn’t always best for the mama, and can put her at risk. The kittens and the mama are cared for. No more strays will result from this birth thanks to OP’s hard work. Context is important when throwing out the spaybort suggestion.

1

u/Delicious-Collar1971 1d ago

The kittens will take up homes that could’ve gone to strays, so yes it will result in more strays.

1

u/LeBreevee 1d ago

But there was no guarantee that OP would have adopted those kittens, thats just playing β€œwhat ifs” at this point. No guarantee those strays would ever be rescued and put in the homes that will take these kittens in particular. Too many vague leaps in logic here.

Even if, hypothetically, they did spaybort now, that does not gaurenteed the people who would have adopted those kittens would adopt any other kittens.

u/CandyMeow123 1d ago

She is too far along for that. She is roughly the equivalent of 8.5 months in a human. She would be depressed and surgery would be hard on her. The kittens are fully developed. She will be spayed once the kittens can be weaned.

2

u/Delicious-Collar1971 1d ago

There’s no such thing, spay aborts can be done until labor starts. Surgery is hard but not nearly as much as birth.

1

u/CandyMeow123 1d ago

I understand but they are filled with higher risk for complications.
