Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Nature allows cats to become pregnant again quite quickly after having kittens. They can go back in to heat, if it’s the right time of year right, around when the kittens are weaned. Rhis is normal biology for cats. They are recovered by then. I don’t advocate breeding on purpose that way. I hope this helps and have a great night
