How to find affordable vet care for my pregnant cat and her kittens?

How lovely of you to look after these kitties, and to take them with you! I would take them both into a vet for a health check to make sure everything is ok with them. The vet can also confirm if the other cat is pregnant. Once they give birth, you can have them spayed after the kittens are weaned, and you can get their vaccines. To keep them safe, I would move them indoors. I hope this helps!

You aren't a bother at all! I can give you some financial resources that may help you afford a vet. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Carefree Credit online. http://www.carefreecredit.co.uk https://www.rspca.org.uk/whatwedo/vetcare http://www.easipetcare.com The other option is to call your local RSPCA to come and get her, and can treat her as needed. Best of luck.

Oh no, poor Nefi! This is a medical emergency and she has to see a vet immediately. She could be suffering from a pyometra, which is fatal without treatment. She needs to see a vet now to diagnose if she does have a pyometra so she can be treated. If she does have one, spaying her is part of the recommended treatment.

There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ The Feline Veterinary Emergency Assistance Program is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization that provides financial assistance to cat and kitten guardians who are unable to afford veterinary services to save their companions when life-threatening illness or injury strikes.
 God's Creatures Ministry helps pay for veterinarian bills for those who need help.
 The Onyx & Breezy Foundation has many programs including helping people with medical bills. They are a good resource for information.
 Brown Dog Foundation provides funding to families with a sick pet that would likely respond to treatment, but due to circumstances, there is not enough money immediately available to pay. IMOM is dedicated to insure that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged.
 Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

A veterinarian will likely be able to tell you how old she is. I am attaching prices for VetCo locations for vaccinations, so you have some ideas about pricing. https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/ And here is a link to the locations and schedules. https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/ Unfortunately, there are not very many organizations that will help with routine wellness care, so you may consider applying for CareCredit ( https://www.carecredit.com/ ) which often gives you a period of time without any payment or interest. I would also check with your local animal shelter or animal control. They will likely offer reduced prices for vaccination services and may also be able to help you get her spayed for a discounted price. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.

It would be between $45-55 for the mother cat to be seen, and the vet will have an addition charge to examine each of the four kittens, but it will be less than the cost of the mother. You can call local clinics to get an exact cost. I hope this helps!

While it is possible for a cat to become pregnant at such a young age, it is definitely not typical. Usually around five or six months of age is the earliest I am accustomed to seeing pregnant cats, but four months is technically possible. In terms of care and diet, I usually recommend that pregnant cats are fed a diet of kitten food rather than adult food until they have weaned their kittens entirely. I do want to caution you however that it is not uncommon for very young cats that become mothers sometimes do not treat their young appropriately. They often abandon their young or even injure them intentionally in some cases. In addition to any other special care they might need, pregnant cats must not receive most medications, including flea / tick medications. They can be toxic to the fetuses. If you want to be sure of the pregnancy status, a veterinarian will need to perform an ultrasound after a certain period of time, or an x-ray after even more time. Hope this makes sense.

That is difficult to say. We would have to have a diagnosis and its best that she is healthy and strong for the birth. She should be seen and also have her health checked just for being pregnant. If finances are tough, it would be best to get her spayed after she is done weaning the kittens.
