When should I contact a vet once my cat is pregnant?

Ideally from the moment pregnancy is detected (3–4 weeks after mating). The vet will confirm the pregnancy, estimate the number of foetuses by palpation, and provide guidance on nutrition and birth preparation. Monitoring visits are recommended at weeks 6 and 8 of the pregnancy.

What does the vet do during a home visit for a pregnant cat?

A thorough physical examination, abdominal palpation to count foetuses, evaluation of the mother's nutritional condition and weight, guidance on preparing a whelping box, and education on the signs of impending labour. An ultrasound referral to a partner clinic can be arranged if needed.

Can Birawa Vet come while my cat is in labour?

For a delivery emergency (obstructed labour, breech presentation, mother exhausted for more than 30 minutes without a kitten being born), we recommend going directly to a 24-hour animal hospital as surgical facilities are required. For monitoring a normal delivery and guidance, a scheduled visit can be arranged.

What is the cost of a home visit for a pregnant cat?

Visit fee starts from Rp 100,000–150,000 (call-out fee) plus procedure costs such as physical examination and consultation. Contact us for a full estimate based on your cat's condition and needs.

Education on Signs of Impending Labour

The vet explains the normal signs of labour, emergency signs that need immediate attention, and how to support your cat during the birthing process.

Post-Birth Check-up

Assessment of the mother and kittens after delivery — confirming all kittens have received colostrum, no placenta has been retained, and the mother is in good condition.

Emergency Signs During Labour

Go to a 24-hour animal hospital immediately if:

The mother has been straining for more than 30–60 minutes without delivering a kitten
Dark green or black foul-smelling discharge appears before the first kitten is born
The mother is too weak to move, has pale gums, or is unresponsive
More than 4–6 hours have passed between kittens

This is a condition requiring a caesarean section — read about our cat caesarean service in Jakarta.

After Birth: Caring for Mother & Kittens

A post-birth vet visit is strongly recommended within the first 24–48 hours to:

Confirm all foetuses have been delivered (none retained)
Check the mother's nutritional status and milk production
Examine the kittens: weight, suckling reflex, general condition
