Very Young Mama Cat

(The rotten state of CT)

My wife brought home a kitten for me on father's day, primarily as a source of comfort due to the fact that I have been laid up with testicular damage for the past 4 months, and cannot do very much without invoking a large amount of pain.

The kitten was almost 4 months old when she was brought home. We have a tom cat that is about 10 months old that we were going to take into the vet to get fixed. We are waiting on pet vac express to make it's next visit, as the local vets are asking for almost $250 to neuter our tom cat.

When the kitten reached 5 months, we found the tom being very friendly with the kitten, and now, she is pregnant, despite not going through heat. She is roughly a month and a half into it now, and she is very obviously pregnant at this point.

Are there any specific concerns for such a young mother?
