I see you haven't removed the invisible sign welcoming wayward ones from your front lawn :-) . Nope....it's still on...lmao Think people have figured out I'm a rescue even though I keep a low profile in my neck of the woods. Well, the female is about a week or two from having them. Husband says no way on aborting them. He is from the old school and he would never forgive me if I did this. Overall, she appears to be in good health. Will know more when I get her inside out of the rain and cold. Have intentions of spaying and neutering everybody before they leave. I don't need anymore kittens or cats as I have 10 personal kitties. They will not be mixed in with my own cats. Geez, that would make my place a "ZOO" Where I live the female can roam again after she is spayed and vaccinated. Who knows maybe my daughter will take her when she leaves and moves into her own place soon...I hope! I will take some photos of her and show you guys the kittens after they are born. I Googled your question about worming pregnant cats and got conflicting answers. If it where me, esp given her age and circumstance, I'd have her spayed and the kittens aborted. It may sound harsh, but I've come to that conclusion from harsh realities. I completely understand and respect your decision to let her have her kittens, esp if she is in good health and you are able to take on the responsibility. I love the babies and even with my harsh opening disclaimer would be thrilled to hear the pitter patter of little kitten paws about the place. If you are going to take this on, I would bring her to the vet and have her checked. At the very least, get a stool sample and have it checked for worms. I know there are certain worms that can be dangerous for the kittens. From the behavior you describe, I'm betting Little Girl will tame up in no time. She sounds like she is reaching out to you and has had at least some good experiences with humans. What a smart girl to have found her way to you! Congratulations.
