I would go ahead with spay abort. I'm sure there are plenty of kittens being pts at this time of year where you live. Why let them be born? If they do get a home it just means that another cat/kitten will take their place being pts. This way they are never born and they never know. jmo tonya

Most no-kills are always full up and you need to be absolutely sure they will take the kittens. Also, please check the shelter yourself to make sure its on the up and up. Ask what happens to kittens who aren't adopted? Do they keep them? Don't wait until the kittens are born.

I was so happy when I found out! Those were the longest 10 minutes of my life (the time it takes for the test results). They both got their FeLV vaccine. At first they weren't going to give Isobel one because she's pregnant (the vet confirmed) but then they found their FeLV vaccine for pregnant kitties. I spoke with my vet about a spay-abort and he said basically it was my choice, but that is something he does (for a much bigger price), but he said I should also consider no-kill shelters. There's a shelter that brings cats who're up for adoption to my vet's office and they're on display in the lobby. He told me to take the kittens there after they've been weened and seen by him and most likely they'd be adopted out sooner rather than later, and possibly even displayed in his office, and their kittens always go fast. There's an adoption application and a donation fee, so as to make sure they're being adopted into good homes who really want them. I got the feeling from my vet that he's not too fond of doing spay-abortions. He said if I do choose to do that, I need to do it within the next two weeks tops because he guesstimated that she's going to give birth within four weeks, give or take. As for Ash, he got his rabies vaccination and he's all set to get neutered on the 28th. I discussed supplements for him and he recommended Lisine (spelling). He said I can get it at most health food stores, or maybe even Walmart. 250 mgs a day. I am going to look into other supplements as well. I have names of some. With the supplements and with periodic wellness visits, Ash should be fine for a while (I hope). Jennifer - PROUD VEGETARIAN & LOCAL SPCA VOLUNTEER.
