I wouldn't even consider vaccinating her until after the babies are weaned.
Vaccines weaken the body and, in her condition, even just a little could be too
much. Check with a really good vet re worming. Without firm evidence that she
had worms I wouldn't. How far along is she?
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

Subject: OT: Pregnant Feral Kitty....Questions
Hi all,
It looks as we have a Feral pregnant Mom that has found her way to us.
I'm going to trap her and put her on my back porch so she can tame down. Also
have her babies safely. She is just a tiger strip kitty and very small. I have
named her "Little Girl"
My question is "Can she be wormed?"
Do you recommend she be vaccinated before or after the birth of the kittens?
I use Heska...it is intra nasal vaccination on my cats. I've never had any
problems with it.
I can tell she wants to be friendly with me. I can get about 2 feet from her
and drop some food down. I back off and she eats it up.
I have been feeding her with my other Feral kitties.
I normally wouldn't ask these questions but never had a pregnant kitty either
that lived outside that is feral. I can tell she is a baby herself she is under
a year old at the most maybe 7-9 months old.
I will get her spayed for free after the babies are born.
So as you can see I'm clueless on this!
Thanks for your help in this matter.
Hugs to all....
