Within 6 weeks.

Another Answer

Normally, a Queen comes into heat every two or three weeks, and once she has been mated and had kittens, the heat cycle often starts again as soon as the kittens are weaned. Sometimes, a female cat can become fertile again as soon as the kittens are born.

However, this is far from recommended as letting a cat become pregnant constantly without "resting" her. Letting a cat become pregnant again so soon takes a huge toll on her health and overall quality of life, which then in turn puts any offspring at risk. Unless you are an experienced breeder then the best option is to not even consider having any litters, and get the cat neutered instead.

Additionally, there are so many cats and kittens who need homes, it's not a good idea to bring even more into the world, where finding new homes for the kittens is not guaranteed.

Will your cat be ok if she gets pregnant to close together?

This really depends on the cat, how healthy she is and whether she is eating and drinking well, etc. Regardless, it is not really ideal to let your cat become pregnant soon after her last litter. This gives her no time to fully recover and build her strength back up before she has to put all her energies in keeping herself and the unborn litter healthy and fed. This puts a massive toll on a mother cat, and there is increased risk of possible complications with either the Queen or litter. Even registered breeders will give their cats many months (or even a year, in some cases) of rest before letting their Queens have another litter.
