Pregnant cat bleeding dark red blood. Is she miscarrying or in labor?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I rescued a cat last night and she is pregnant. I'm not sure how far along she is because she is stray. This morning she became aggressive and tried attacking me for food and she is now bleeding dark red blood droplets from her vaginal region. I'm not sure if she's in labor or miscarrying

Bleeding dark red blood is not a sign of labor, and it is a sign that something is wrong with the pregnancy such as a miscarriage. This is something that needs to be checked out by a vet immediately. Please take her into a vet right away. Best of luck.
