Newborn kittens sexing help!

So my cat who we rehomed 2years ago and who we were told was spayed (before I get flamed) has randomly popped out three kittens. She has had no pregnancy's in the 2yrs we had her so had no reason to believe she wasn't spayed. I need some help sexing the 3 kittens so I can better rehome them. I will be getting her spayed as soon as possible! Thanks guys!

The one with a white leg is a girl and the other two are boys. *

(* Do not make any life -changing decisions based on this advice 😹)

Congratulations on your new kitties.

Clearer picture of 1st mostly white kitty. Do we think this is boy and other two are girls?

IIRC it's : for a boy and ; for a girl which makes it boy, girl, girl.

It’s a tear drop/slit for a girl

Any chance we could have a picture of them from the front, OP?

This is mum, my very petite girl who is most definitely not spayed as we thought all this time.

Poor mum cat Sad

Do book her in for spaying asap and keep her indoors until she's done!

When were they born? It usually becomes obvious in a few days who has bollocks and who doesn't!
They are v v cute 😻

Again we didn't realise she wasn't spayed as has not had signs of being in heat for the last 2 years we've owned her! She must've gone outside and come on heat then and obviously fell pregnant. She will be booked in to spay as soon as possible, she doesn't go outside much anyway but I will keep her in 😃 i now have a cat, a dog, 2 kids under 5 and 3 kittens 🙃

Oh I wasn't having a go, it sounds like quite a surprise, but just making sure you're aware they can come into heat very soon after giving birth so it's always best to spay asap.

They're gorgeous, OP, mum too!
