female cats

[dontknow]

Hi all can you please tell me how old a cat can be before she can become pregnant we have just found a stray it looks about 6/7 months old but has a very hard stomach

Sadly it is possible. Cats can come into season as early as 5 months and chances are she could be pregnant (too young really). Can you get her to a vet to make sure as she may need some help

[Jugglering]

Yep, bensmum is quite right, cats can become pregnant as early as 5 months old... the hard stomach on the stray may not be pregnancy but even so, she will be needing to see a vet to get checked out (general health, weight, condition, teeth, eyes, temperature, heart rate, microchip etc etc).

That's nice of you, dontknow, giving her and the kittens a home. Some folk just don't care and can't be bothered to get their females spayed and then they end up abandoning them, which sounds like what's happened to your little one. My Gavin (I know...daft name - K. Jnr's idea!!) was abandoned when she was pregnant, too and I took her in. She "rewarded" me with 8 lovely kittens!! I found homes for six and kept 2, Monty and Cleo. Sadly, Monty died last July, but Cleo is still going strong, as is her mum, Gavin. I urge you to get your little lady spayed when she's weaned her babies and I hope you manage to find lovely, caring homes for the kittens. Lots of love and luck, K xx
