DAY 5: KITTENS HAVING KITTENS 😿
We're saying it again because it's one of the most shocking and important facts about cats.
‼️ Kittens can become pregnant as young as 4–5 months old. 🤯
Yes, you read that right ... kittens can have kittens.
Their bodies aren't fully developed, which puts them and their babies at greater risk for:
⚠️ Pregnancy complications
⚠️ Illness
⚠️ Kitten mortality
Many people are surprised to learn that a kitten born in the spring can become a parent before the end of summer.
This is why we encourage caregivers to Fix by Five whenever possible. Early spay/neuter is safe, effective, and lifesaving.
The sooner we prevent unwanted litters, the fewer kittens will be born into lives of uncertainty, illness, and homelessness.
