In this day and age, there is no reason not to get your cat spayed or neutered. There are too many cats and kittens in the world that need homes as it is, we don't need your indoor cat escaping to get pregnant and bring eight more into the world. For all of your friends who would take a kitten, they are pawsitively invited to go to a shelter and adopt one of their own. When it's your mistake, it's one thing, but when someone else lets your cat get pregnant, it's a whole other thing entirely. Let alone a "professional" who you paid to watch your cat while you were on vacation.

It's hard enough to find someone you trust enough to leave your cat with while you're away. It's your baby. You know all of their little quirks and desires purrfectly. So if you don't have a feline-loving friend, your next best bet is to go with a purrfessional cat sitter…. or so you would think. After leaving her cat with a well-reviewed local pet sitter for two months, the cat mom in this post came back to find her 8-month-old cat very pregnant. Livid would not even begin to describe how angry we would be. We wouldn't pay, and we would 100% leave a terrible review. That's not simply an accident… that's negligence.

    I recently went home for vacation for 2 months and left my cat with a cat sitter. They had amazing reviews and good ratings so I felt okay leaving her. Yesterday when I went to pick her up, I found out she's PREGNANT!!! I specified that my

    cat is not sterilized yet and they said it was okay and they'll keep that in mind. They didn't say anything all this time and now I find out she's having babies!! I'm a first time pet owner, I don't know what to do, I don't know how to take care of her. She's not playing a lot but seems to eat well and use the litter also. I'm freaking out!! What should I do next?

    cowkitty17. 16h ago Also the sitter is trying to manipulate you by offering help with the kittens so you don't give them a negative review. Please don't believe that's going to happen.

    CountDrakula • 15h ago I would: - get your cat spayed/ab ed - sent the sitters the bill - after it's paid, leave a bad review

  • Yeah - not only would we not pay, we would definitely expect them to pay for the surgery. A cat doesn't just mistakenly get pregnant, it happened from one of a few pawssible reasons: they let the cat out or they put the cat around intact males. Both are things that a professional cat sitter shouldn't do.

    ZelaAmaryills 16h ago I would say spay and al t. You didn't say how old she is but if she hasn't gotten spayed yet I'm guessing young. Cats under a year old can have issues with pregnancy and may abandon the kittens even if it goes well.

    Make sure to go scorch earth with the pet sitter, they really f ed up here and at the very least deserve to have you leave a horrible review and let others know about it.

    and I would DEFINITELY spay your cat ASAP. Don't wait for the babies- the world doesn't need more kittens and she doesn't need to have kittens at 8 months- it puts her and the kittens at risk.

    okbringoutdessert 15h ago • I adopted a 6 month old from the humane society and a 4 month old from PetSmart. Both already fixed. I had a stray kitten around 12 weeks come into my house and vet

    wanted to wait until a certain weight to fix which was 6 months. I have seen kittens as young as 4 months getting pregnant. Cats should get fixed as soon as vet says it's safe.

    OP I am sorry you find yourself in this situation. I don't think the pet sitter is reliable. Your cat needs to be apay abort. Don't let her have her kittens and try to re-home them. It is so much worse for your still kitten!!!! Let her finish being a kitten. Getting impregnated is already a traumatic experience she should not have had to endure.

  • We're not huge fans of cancel culture, but in this case, we think it might be appropriate. This “mistake” caused real damage. There's always the pawssibility that they did it on purrpose to sell the kittens, too.

    SheepishQuaaality • 15h ago Man, my conspiracy brain is wondering if they specifically waited for someone with an unspayed kitty, had their own unneutered kitty, and are trying to get double paid from selling backyard litters. Very, very, very unlikely, but I can't help think of the worst

    I wish you and your kitty the best! I'd absolutely post a bad review, even make a square space for it if they try to delete/hide my review. That's f ed up man. There's also like O way they didn't know your cat had s

    Tamtambanane • 15h ago Honestly, small claims court for any fees associated with this. Since you found them online, there should be a trail of text that you spoke before and after the incident.

    Saberise 14h ago Is it just me or does anyone else think the sitter did this intentionally. First question the sitter asked was if the cat was spayed. Claimed not to know if the other cat was neutered. Offering to find homes for the kittens.

    SunlightNStars • 14h ago Why would you go on vacation for two months when your cat is under a year old and not spayed?

    How DareThey1970 · 15h ago . Definitely give the sitter a bad review and also give them a piece of your mind. Take the cat to the vet. Board the cat at the vet in the future.
