Most of my cats are tramps. All three of my females are pregy.
NOT so funny.

There is a fix for that. You do have the opposable thumbs in the outfit.

I have to respect the standards of the cat who threw up on the laptop belonging to mom’s new shack-up.

I don't advocate spaying while pregnant, but you *can* have them all taken care of about 2-3 months after the kittens are born. Kittens need to nurse for about 6-8 weeks.

There are some vets who will fix very young kittens, as young as 2 months old. It is standard to fix at age 6 months.

You’re right: “NOT so funny.” For the love of God.. be responsible and have her spayed. Consider the future wellbeing of the kittens.

Cats have an average of 1.4 litters per year, with an average 3.5 live births in each litter. That equals 4.9 kittens per year, per female cat. Breeding cats and their offspring can produce 420,000 kittens over a seven-year period. Each year, almost 9 million dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters in the U.S. because there are not enough homes. Altering a cat costs about $50, while euthanizing a cat costs more than $100.

If the cats are outdoors and hard to catch, do a TNR (Trap/Neuter/Release) using a drop trap. It’s a pain for the short term, but worth it in the end.
