A veterinarian can probably be able to tell by palpating her stomach...I've had cats that were never very obvious, but when spayed, it was noticeable that they were in heat. Because Amber is FeLV+, build up her immune system with some good vitamin supplements before she is spayed. BTW, when she's shaved, a vet can also see if there's a scar! I got a cat off death row in NYC, and we don't know whether she has been spayed. Since I have no intact males, there's no danger of pregnancy - we will just wait and see if she goes into heat, otherwise, we can shave and check at any time....I wouldn't worry too much - also check for nipple size....

I have no idea if she has ever been spayed or not. I am guessing not... If she hasn't, should she not be coming in heat soon? I just hope and pray she is not pregnant. If she does come in heat, I will get her spayed afterwards. Just waiting to see. As always, thank you everyone for your advice!
