We’ve had a stray coming around last four months so I started feeding it. It took three months before I could pet it and that was minimal. Turns out it was pregnant and had the litter under one of the outbuildings. Babies are about two weeks old but I’ve not seen them. I want to have Mama spayed but thought I’d wait till the babies have opened their eyes not that I’ll know when that actually happens until Mama brings them out. Can anyone reading this give me a hint when it would be OK to spay Mama cat?
Now. They usually are pregnant before the litter is independent
Best bet call the vet. Ask about the kittens too. The Tom will kill the kittens, if he finds them sometimes. I think that’s why the mom hides them. When my area shelter takes cats in they neuter them get them their shots and adopt them out for a price. It’s a little pricey adopting strays but most of my best feline and canine friends got to me that way. Good luck.
you can spay mom as soon as you know the little ones can feed themselves
