worried about pregnant stray cat

There is a stray cat in our garage about to pop some babies out. I'm worried about her because she is pooping everywhere and its all stuck to here butt I'm not sure how far along she is but im pretty sure she is due soon. I finally got to pick her up the other day and it doesnt feel like there is any milk in there, should I be worried?

Hi
Yes sadly stray pregnant cats can be very sickly and the kittens can often be born dead or die shortly after if the mother cat is not in good health. this is the sad end of poor cat owners who do not have their cats spay.

If you can you need to contact your local animal shelter and let them know about her. They may be able to come and get her, but what they will do with her depends on the individual shelter.

the other option you have is to take ownership for her and take her to the vets yourself and pay for treatment etc. Sounds like she needs some help.

God bless you for taking the time to care for her though.

I have a page on my website which you may find of further interest
