My outdoor cat gets pregnant often. How to stop it without surgery?

There is no solution to prevent it except getting her spayed. The other forms of suppressing heat cycles are still being researched. If she stays inside she will still attract male cats around the outside which may cause her to try to get out during that time. Spaying is the safest option for other health benefits such as preventing mammary cancer, uterine cancer or an infected uterus which will result in an emergency spay.

It's possible for her to have her first heat cycle anytime after four months of age, but it normally occurs around six months. She would have to be in heat in order to accept the male and get pregnant, but you should be aware that this can happen anytime now. It's important to have her spayed prior to her coming into heat, because the procedure is more risky when they are in heat. They also tend to fight with other cats when they are in heat, which can increase their chances of getting serious infections and contracting FIV and/or FeLV. These diseases are vaccine-preventable, so it's important to also ask your vet about this vaccine if she will continue to have contact with feral cats. I hope that helps and all is well with Bella.

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.

Spaying Tabby is the only way to terminate her pregnancy. If you decide to have her spayed, I would recommend doing so sooner rather than later. If you decide allow her possible pregnancy to continue and want to avoid future pregnancies, please have her spayed as soon as her kittens have weaned.

Yes, she will because female cats ovulate just when they mate, so the chances of her getting pregnant when mating is close to 100%. The way to prevent pregnancy is to have her spayed, if not keep her indoors and spay any males that could come in contact with her. Male surgery is normally less invasive and cheaper and perhaps something to consider if kittens are newborns.In 6 weeks time you could have her neutered. She could also be neutered sooner if really necessary, but it is a bit more risky in terms of surgery for herself and for the kittens. Hope this helps !

At 4 years old, Bella is still a young cat! Since she has experienced numerous heat cycles, spaying will not reduce her risk of developing mammary cancers. However, it will prevent pregnancies and eliminate her chance of developing a pyometra, which is a serious uterine infection. I wouldn't anticipate any significant complications post-operatively, provided that her pre-operative exam and lab testing is within a normal range.

Bella may have difficulty feeding the litter as she is still growing herself. Confirm that she is indeed pregnant first. Your veterinarian may be able to do this via palpation or abdominal x-ray. If it is early enough, consider having her spayed for her health and safety and to prevent unwanted or accidental litters in the future. If you decide to leave her intact, she will need to be monitored closely throughout the pregnancy, delivery and raising of the litter until weaning.
