Question: How can I tell if my cat is pregnant?

Answer: If you have not spayed your female cat and she is allowed outdoors, she most likely is pregnant. I strongly urge spaying all female pets, for a number of reasons. Only your veterinarian can determine whether or not she is actually pregnant. I would suggest taking her in for a checkup, and if she is not pregnant, have her spayed.

Approximately 46,575 Dogs and Cats are killed every DAY in animal shelters. Every litter of kittens born adds to that number, because people who adopt those kittens might have instead adopted a shelter animal.
