Cats go into heat multiple times a year, so Habia can potentially have a couple of litters of kittens a year. The only way to prevent this from occurring is to have her spayed. After Habia has her next litter of kittens, I would keep her indoors and isolated from intact male cats completely. Once the kittens are weaned at six to eight weeks of age, I would take her into the vet to have her spayed. This will prevent her from becoming pregnant again.
