If you adopted her she may already be spayed and it just wasn't recorded correctly. If you are sure she hasn't been spayed, then its likely she has abnormal menstrual cycles or hides her heat cycles very well. Cats are good at hiding this, so sometimes the owners never know. At any rate its still a good idea to get Oreo examined by your vet for just a general health check-up to ensure everything is ok. Best of luck with Oreo moving forward. Take care!
