My 7-month-old cat is pregnant. Is it safe for her to give birth?

Question

Is it dangerous for a 7 month old cat to be pregnant? There’s a 7 month old feral cat on my farm I keep her to control the rats she looks very heavy pregnant but I can’t catch her to take a closer look will it kill her to have kittens?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! No, it isn't dangerous for a cat to be pregnant that young. Nature is different then people. If she was mature enough to come in to heat she should be fine. When the kittens are weaned at 6-8 weeks I would have her spayed though to prevent further pregnancies and to control the cat population. Good luck!
