that would be cool!

 

[lady_tanksalot]

i hope so too EG. haven't had kittens nearly two years so i'm very excited

 

[pwrpufgirlz]

what do you do with the kittens to ensure they aren't left in a shelter somewhere?

 

[OohFeeshy]

She is very cute

 

[lady_tanksalot]

thankyou OohFeeshy

pwrpufgirlz i actually have a list of about 14 people waiting for kittens and some of them want two

I don't actually brred them for profit abd the cats i have now are my priority, if ever i thought heving the kittens would be too much for them they would be at the vet to be sorted as quick as i could get there.

over the last four years i have had four litters of kittens and they all turn out very affectionat, well socialised (kids and dogs are there best mates) and very healthy, word spreads and hence the waiting list

so everyones a winner

(and i would never send a kitten to a shelter, i'd just have to keep it myself)

I wouldn't worry that you would, I would worry that one of the kittens would have kittens and possibly they'd have kittens, and those would be in a shelter.

Do you require the new owners to get them fixed?

Believe me, I am NOT trying to troll, or get anyone worked up, I believe it's a very good question considering the millions of cats put to death every year in shelters.

Can you tell I'm an advocate for animals? I'm also very vocal about people breeding their dogs without the proper research, health tests, and titles.

I agree with this entire post. She is a beautiful cat and I'm sure she'll make very cute kittens, but I don't agree with your everyone's a winner comment The cats and kittens that will die in shelters while people decide to breed their own aren't winners at all


Before anyone says it, yes I have kittens arriving any time as well. However, I adopted my cat at a shelter and when I brought her in to be spayed, we were told she was already pregnant

they wouldn't let you spay her even tho she's pregnant? Or was she too far along?

Honestly, you can get an animal spayed when they are pregnant (it costs a wee bit more) and not have to worry about pregnancy complications or kittens in shelters. Cats and dogs are not like humans (far too often people associate animal behavior with human feelings which usually ends in disaster). A cat or dog does not know they ever were pregnant, they do not feel a sense of loss, and often times this is guaranteeing that those kittens produced do not produce some hundred thousand more cats in seven years (that is the statistics. One unspayed female can add I believe 200,000 more cats to the population in seven years. Your baby has babies, those babies have babies, and so on).

Was this a planned pregnancy and do you know who the father is?

 

[zelandonia]

Most veterinarians (especially shelter veterinarians) will spay a pregnant cat at any point in their gestation. With cats, there is no cut-off point during pregnancy after which you should not spay.

It's my decision. I have a personal and moral issue with spaying a pregnant cat.
