We rescued one mom with 4 kittens. All were FeLV+. It was heartbreaking watching them slowly die off. The mom and 2 kittens died early on but two kittens lived to age 1 and then died excruciating deaths. It was costly and we couldn't find homes. Hard enough to find homes for healthy ones. My decision would be to spay/abort. I put the mommy's first since they already have life. L

Since you are her guardian, obviously it's your choice as to what to do, but I know for me, I try to do what is best for the cat, and not make a decsion based on how it makes me feel. But again, it's your decsion and we can only give advice. Please tell me that you have separated Ash and Isobel? On the chance that she isn't pregnant you really need to separate them until one of them is fixed. Also, if you do plan on letting her have the kittens if she is pregnant, I would start saving some money now, because you will need to get her kittens S/N before putting them out for adoption, also incase she has a difficult delivery and needs emergency care. The rescue that I work with (I foster kittens when we come across them TNR'ing) does not adopt out intact kittens. Which unfortunatly is the only way to ensure that a cat will be S/N' d these days. We're going to keep all paws crossed that Isobel is not pregnant, there is still that chance.

To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, August 12, 2008, 7:34 PM I know it makes sense to spay abort, but I don't really know. I don't believe in abortion...and it would be a really tough thing for me to do. I really want to try and find them homes. I just can't imagine killing life...I know it sounds horrible especially with the overpopulation. Jennifer - PROUD VEGETARIAN & LOCAL SPCA VOLUNTEER.
