My “pregnant” foster was showing signs of a terminated pregnancy last night. I had some suspicions about her pregnancy a couple days after she was dropped off to me. My suspicions were confirmed today that she had a miscarriage. Thankfully she is safe with me or this would have killed her living on the streets. She will never have to worry about another pregnancy again now. #cat #saved #pregnant #miscarriage #rescued #foster #spayandneuter

Further tests are underway to determine the nature of Maliha’s FeLV strain, with potential implications for her interactions with other cats.
