7 month old cat pregnant - any success stories?

[silvercuckoo]

Hello all,

A shocking discovery at the vets today - my 7 month old cat is (accidentally) pregnant, and is approximately halfway / two-thirds through. Are there any success stories of a cat safely delivering at this age? The vet says she will likely be fine as she is almost fully grown now and in the worst case they will do a c-section, but I am still quite nervous.

My best friend is a vetinary nurse and she said that the worst job she has is to destroy litters of live kittens and puppies who have been born and are then unwanted. They have a policy at their surgery that each person euthenises a maximum of 2 each. Good luck with what ever you end up doing. Its tricky, I didnt neuter my female cat until she was 15 months as she was a house cat so I have no judgement at all. Could gave easily been me. I hope your cat is ok.

God this is so sad, we had two farm kittens we we were growing up and had been told to spay at 6 months, at 5 months old they were both pregnant we found good homes for all the kittens and the mums were spayed ASAP. I kitten died as it had a malformed leg :(

I would have thought half main coon kittens would be quite in demand.
I hear what people are saying about there being already too many unwanted kittens in the world but it’s done now. I don’t know if I could get them aborted in your situation.
If you do go ahead with the pregnancy, please try to make sure they go to good homes.
