My cat had a stillborn kitten, still pregnant, and is spotting blood.

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 8 months and 16 days old | 4.4 lbs

I have a pregnant cat, last night she gave birth to a stillborn kitten & no other kittens followed through, I do know though, that she is still pregnant & still has baby kittens in her. The thing is, she's been spotting a few drops of blood after last night. She doesn't want me to leave her side too & wants me to rub her belly constantly. Any advice will be very appreciated. I saved her as a stray kitten and I really love her. She's 8 months old.

The only way to know if she has any other kittens inside her is to take her to a vet and have an x-ray done. I strongly suggest you do this. If there is a dead kitten (or more than one) still inside her she will get extremely sick and die. Please get her to a vet as soon as possible.
