My female cat was fixed, but now she seems pregnant. Is this possible?

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | 10 lbs

We just recently got our female cat fixed, but now she’s pregnant it seems, did the vet somehow do it wrong? Just concerned because she’s a slightly older cat who is getting on in years and I’m not sure she can handle it

If Minnie was fixed, there is no way she could get pregnant. Her uterus should have been removed in the procedure, preventing pregnancy completely. Are you sure she's pregnant? I would have her checked out by a vet.
