We rescued feral cats, now the sister is pregnant from her brother, will the offspring be okay?


Answers:
they should be fine as they "do it" it the wild with each other they cant tell that they are related
A rescuer wouldn't have let this happen. Take her to the vet and spay today.
the offspring will speak with a southern drawl and play banjos
The offspring will probably be barking instead of meowing...

The first answer is good.
Well the 1st thing you should do when you rescue cats/kittens is to take them to the vet and get shots/checkup/ and spaying or neutering done. But since it's already done %26 over with, the kittens may or may not be fine. There's no way to tell until they're born. There is no way to prevent it now, but from now on keep ALL animals spayed/neutered.
If it's early enough, you can still get her spayed to prevent the pregnancy. Not really highly recommended, but considering there are risks of complications with the unborn kits, it might be a better idea than following through with the pregnancy.

Please spay %26 neuter!
I had a cat impregnated by her brother and the kittens turned out fine. One of them had an extra digit on each front paw, but nowadays that seems like a normal trait.
call your vet TODAY to make an appointment to get her spayed ASAP!

For every one kitten born, at least 2 kittens in shelters gets euthenized. Doesn't that just make you want to cry. too many homeless cats and kittens out there.
When we have a small genetic pool, you either get genius or ignoramus. Just depends on the odds. You can see it in the royals! You may even get an extra toe if you're lucky!
You need to get both cats to the vet and have them spayed and neutered ASAP! You do not want mentally and physically deformed kittens. Many spay clinics will work with rescuers on fees for the procedures.
