Should I be worried if my cat is pregnant? Do I need to register them or something in the state of California? Are they cat abortions if it is illegal to have a pregnant cat?

Summary: This law provides that it is the policy of the state that no adoptable animal should be euthanized if it can be adopted into a suitable home. (Editor's note: The law was part of SB 1785 (the Hayden Act) that expanded the holding time for companion animals and the duties of pounds and shelters who act as depositories for lost or stray animals).
(a) It is the policy of the state that no adoptable animal should be euthanized if it can be adopted into a suitable home. Adoptable animals include only those animals eight weeks of age or older that, at or subsequent to the time the animal is impounded or otherwise taken into possession, have manifested no sign of a behavioral or temperamental defect that could pose a health or safety risk or otherwise make the animal unsuitable for placement as a pet, and have manifested no sign of disease, injury, or congenital or hereditary condition that adversely affects the health of the animal or that is likely to adversely affect the animal's health in the future.

(b) It is the policy of the state that no treatable animal should be euthanized. A treatable animal shall include any animal that is not adoptable but that could become adoptable with reasonable efforts. This subdivision, by itself, shall not be the basis of liability for damages regarding euthanasia.

If your cat is pregnant, it's important to take good care of her and ensure that she receives proper nutrition, veterinary care, and a comfortable place to rest. You may want to consult with a veterinarian who can give you advice on how to best care for your pregnant cat.

In the state of California, there is no requirement to register a pregnant cat, but it's always a good idea to make sure your cat is up-to-date on her vaccinations and has regular checkups with a veterinarian.

Regarding the legality of having a pregnant cat, it is not illegal to have a pregnant cat in California. However, if you do not wish for your cat to have a litter, you may want to consider having her spayed to prevent pregnancy in the future. Spaying is a safe and routine surgical procedure that can be performed by a veterinarian.

Aborting a cat's pregnancy without a valid medical reason is generally considered unethical and not recommended. If you have any concerns about your cat's health or the pregnancy, it's best to consult with a veterinarian to discuss your options and ensure the best possible outcome for your cat.
