How many kittens can a Queen have in one pregnancy?

Upwards of 10 or more. Excellence in Animal RescueEach year millions of animals are euthanized in shelters due to lack of space, lack of finances and lack of access to other organizations to turn to for help. Most of these animals are adoptable. There are nearly 20,000 rescue organizations in the USA, yet until now, there has been NO professional association to help standardize the animal rescue industry, provide listings and outreach to shelters. Spay your pet to prevent this from happening. Using the National Council's numbers from 1997 and estimating the number of operating shelters in the United States to be 3,500 (the exact number of animal shelters operating in the United States does not exist), here are the statistics: * Of the 1,000 shelters that replied to the National Council's survey, 4.3 million animals were handled. * In 1997 roughly 64% of the total number of animals that entered shelters were euthanized -- approximately 2.7 million animals in just these 1,000 shelters.These animals may have been put down due to overcrowding, but may have been sick, aggressive, injured, or suffered something else. * 56% of dogs and 71% of cats that enter animal shelters are euthanized. More cats are euthanized than dogs because they are more likely to enter a shelter without any owner identification. * Only 15% of dogs and 2% of cats that enter animal shelters are reunited with their owners. * 25% of dogs and 24% of cats that enter animal shelters are adopted.

Putting dogs down is a last resort and it only happens if dogs have no chance of getting a home or the shelter is overcrowded and they feel that this dog/cat has been here too long it will be euthanized or put to sleep it is painless and it is usually done by the dog putting on fa mask and they will put a gaseous drug into it and the dog will breathe it in and go to sleep
