I can see both sides of the issue. However, being the softy that I am, I would have trouble aborting the kits. My Tigger and Taylor are the offspring of a feral mom. I guess that's why I feel the way I do. Good luck with the little girl Terrie and let us know how it goes. Gina

Terrie, Bless you for taking this little one in and giving her the care she deserves. She's a lucky girl to have found you. To spay/abort or not is a personal choice. You just have to do what you think is right for new kitty. I think either way, whatever kitties remain will be loved and cared

i've never had to face the late spay question, and i'm not sure what choice i'd make; with early pregnancies i go with i can handle what a large sanctuary (not the one i worked has) has made their philosophy: if they aren't born, they won't be. sigh. i hate that that even has to be an

I see you haven't removed the invisible sign welcoming wayward ones from your front lawn :-) . 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,

Terrie, I disagree with aborting kittens unless you absolutely have no option. When I adopt kittens too young to be altered, the spay/neuter is included in the adoption fee and must be done at my vet. Bingo, if they are late getting them fixed I know it since I havent gotten a bill from my
