her before then, I wouldnt expect her to show up on your doorstep for at least a month.
Thomas: As to whether she can keep the kittens warm, that depends on where she found
shelter. If she found a dry place thats out of the wind and reasonably sheltered from the
cold, she should do all right.
Bella: Of course, how well the kittens do is going to depend on if she can find enough to
eat to keep her milk flowing so she can feed them.
Siouxsie: Mother cats have huge nutritional needs because theyre eating for themselves
and their kittens, so if you have a suspicion about where she might be, leave food for her.
Trust me, shell find it and eat it!
Thomas: If you do find mom and kittens, check out Catsters guide to kittens, which will
tell you all about the kittens stages of development, nutritional needs, veterinary
considerations and learning.
Bella: And if, heaven forbid, you find the kittens and no sign of Mama, or if you find that
Mamas been fatally injured, you should read up on raising orphaned kittens so you can
give them the best shot at life.
Siouxsie: Once the kittens are weaned, youll want to get mom-cat spayed as soon as
possible. Female cats can go into heat almost immediately after their kittens are weaned,
so dont delay!
Thomas: We know spaying is expensive, and were sure that with little kids and a busy
family, its probably something youve meant to do but havent gotten around to it yet.
Bella: If finances are a factor, there are low-cost spay/neuter clinics all over the U.S., and
some states even offer spay/neuter vouchers for people who meet certain income
guidelines. The ASPCA and Humane Society of the United States have nationwide
directories of low-cost spay/neuter programs, and a web search for low-cost spay/neuter
resources in your area will probably yield a lot of results.
Siouxsie: Good luck, Layne. We hope you find momma and kittens, and everyone is doing
well.

ok, have to get the claws out!!! first, you are contributing the
overwhelming cat population by letting your cat outdoors first,
not spayed, second, dont you care if something happens to your
animal? there is usually a leash law THAT APPLIES TO CATS!! if
you plan to have animals, then, take care of them regardless of your children!!!!
VERY ANGRY!!!

Hate to repeat this but, yes, FIX UR CAT! Why should this poor
baby go through this constantly when, in this day and age, there
are low-cost spay and neuter alternatives. Better to pay the
money for one spay then to try to house hundredths of future
offspring. Also, she needs to be kept indoors. I cant believe in this day and age we
still have people who allow their female cats to run free and get pregnant. Also,
those with barn cats need to do the same thing. I work with a TNR colony at my
local fairground and anytime we find a female we get her spayed. Too many
unwanted cats and kittens in the world. Everyone, wise up!

THANK YOU!!! I too commented to help and was so
embarrassed and felt horrible for her bc of how people
were treating her! Who wants to post questions if this is
how you will be treated? Thanks for you being so respectful
and realistic !

If all else fails, consult a pet psychic. It might be a long shot, but
its something. I recommend Elizabeth Woelfel in Ambler, PA.

Im sorry this happened to you, but Im even MORE sorry that
there are so many IGNORANT people on here! I think your
question was how long your cat may be gone or help in ideas
how to find her? I dont think you asked about how pregnancy
happens or comments about putting the cats needs over your own children! I
found this website via google bc I also was having an issue with a new mommy
kitty. But Im not posting my questions for fear of the rude and mean comments
that wi sure come along with it!! So now answers to your original question. Your
cat is probably very close to the house. She wont go far from her kittens yet she
also would probably try to stay close to her home and food source. And idea
coaching her with food like tuna etc and then Maybe set up a video camera that
has the area around the food so you could see where she is coming from. Thats a
little more involved but desperate times desperate measures. I know this original
post is old but I wanted to give an answer for anyone like me who stumbles upon
it and needed real answers not lectures and rude comments!

Thank you Holly for this comment. I am now having the
same situation. Our cat has been an indoor cat and when
we moved she decided to be free for a minute and got
pregnant. We always kept her inside afterwards especially
after finding out she was pregnant and about to pop she somehow sneaked
her way outside and now we cant find her. We are thinking she is under the

house bc we have heard noise. I was looking for situations like mine and
even thought of posting but not after the other comments. I will try some of
the suggestions you mentioned and hope we catch her and the babies.
