I am getting more confused. A standard spay of a female cat involves
removal of both ovaries and both uterine horns. The uterus is not left
behind, so there would be no D & C as is done with humans after a
miscarriage. The ovaries, uterus, AND kittens inside it would come out
during a spay, thus terminating (or aborting) the pregnancy by default.
Spaying is not just tying tubes. If she was confirmed positive by IFA
test, I personally would schedule this asap, but would ask the vet about
what happens at whatever stage of pregnancy she's at, and how would they
ensure the kittens would pass peacefully. It's awful to think about,
but bringing a litter (how many? 3, 4, 5 or more?) of FeLV+ kittens into
the world isn't so great to think about either. How would you place
them, would you keep them all? It would be very hard emotionally and
financially, I think.

Well, yes, of course spayed. I was just saying "terminated" because after a certain
point, sometimes a "kitty dnc" of sorts, is necessary. I didn't mean to imply I thought
she should be left intact, by any means.
