Cat spay in pregnant cat procedure?

First they would anesthetize the cat and go along with a typical spay. Without assistance, the kittens die and are thrown out in bio waste. If you're thinking of doing this to your cat, i beg you not. When I was working at an animal shelter, seeing dead kittens in the garbage is really sad, and it messes with the mother cat. Most of the time, the mothers get stressed and will cry for her kittens for hours, or even days. If your cat is pregnant, please wait till she gives birth and send them to local animal shelter.

I am a veterinarian, improving this answer. So this person works at a shelter. Really? How many cats are euthanized there? How many come in every day, and how many are adopted? I worked at a shelter too, we spayed pregnant cats all the time.

Let her have the kittens and bring them to a shelter? The shelters are full, they can't accept more. Kittens get homes, adults get euthanized because there are too many kittens and no one wants the adults, who stay in shelters sometimes for months.

Stress? Not really. Most mother cats do not even miss their kittens, and act completely normal.

At my practice, we euthanize the kittens in the uterus, after it has been removed from the mother. That is humane. Bio waste is not garbage, and the babies will not be found in a land fill.

Please don't post answers when you don't know what you are talking about. And please ask veterinarians, not lay people.
