    She's So Smol and So, So Round

    Cat

    Look at this poor little kitty. They're probably pregnant, and so cold! Thankfully though, this Redditor made sure to keep feeding them and looking out for them. And, the cat is thankfully still looking out for itself too, making sure to eat, and only visiting with friendly people. At the end of this whole endeavor, we're really hoping the Redditor offered the kitten a home, but we're still waiting for an update on that one.

    Don't Worry About the Username, She's a Cat Trapper

    Font - PussyWrangler_462_ +2·16 hr. ago · edited 14 hr. ago S 2 Vet assistant and TNR trapper/shelter manager here: That cat is pregnant af. She's about to burst. A tip is looking for large nipples...fat cats nipples will be hidden by fur, pregnant females nipples will be getting bigger and more prominent before the kittens What worries me about this situation is any friendly stray always has the chance of being scooped up by some stranger with good intentions, not realizing she has a litter of

    This was one of the most informative comments from this thread, as a vet assistant chimed in to make sure that all of Reddit knew- this cat is definitely pregnant! They warned that if a stray cat is pregnant and friendly, people have to be really careful to let the cat take care of her babies, and not try to move her far away after she's given birth. They suggested that OP either collar the cat, or give her a place at home to give birth, and we're hoping that OP picked the latter.

    Let's Get These Kittens A Home

    Font - Ozemba · 16 hr. ago If she lets you pet her, please try to take her in to your home, to see a vet, or to a shelter. If she has those kittens outside other cats could kill them. If the very least you can do is give her a comfy box somewhere near your home then do that, if she feels comfortable around you maybe she will use that, and then you can bring them all inside. 1.0k 5 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    Whatever It Is, Let's Fix It

    Font - hxlvxtica · 12 hr. ago It could also be some type of bacteria in the stomach. I don't remember exactly but when I rescued a homeless kitten his belly started growing. I thought it could be a tumor, so I rushed him to the vet. Turns out it's not uncommon for homeless kitten to get some type of bacteria causing their stomachs to look like this. He had to eat special food for a few months, and after that he was fine! 1 11 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    Pregnant or Not, Let's Get Her A Home

    Gesture - catsandplantsandcats +3 · 20 hr. ago If she's allowed out unsupervised and has not been spayed then she is most likely pregnant. 2.3k Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow mshcat Y +3· 17 hr. ago Looks like a stray, seeing as OP is feeding her kibble on the ground outside. No notch on the ear that's common for TNR. Probably preggers. OP should see if there's a TNR program or shelter that would take the cat in. She seems comfortable to let OP get this close so it may be easy to catc

    Don't Move a Mother Too Far from Her Kittens

    Font - rahelaroxx +3 · 15 hr. ago · edited 14 hr. ago I hope the op takes her in, brings her to vet and helps find placement for her and her babies and gets her spayed. That's my prayer for this momma. If not find a rescue group that does that. You're right about the fate of the kittens. People see the kittens and think the mom just left meanwhile she's getting food for herself. Well meaning people don't understand 1 189 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow
