What a precious baby! To my knowlege there are no alternative forms of birth control for cats other than spay/neuter. I have read of some experimental pills, but so far I guess they haven't been proven to work or to be safe.

If you live within driving distance of a veterinary school, you might try giving them a call and asking them what they know.

The advantage to spaying is that in addition to preventing unwanted kittens and unwanted heat-related behaviors removing the uterus and ovaries prevents certain types of cancer including mammary cancer. A small pouch is a small price to pay for this safety net. And not all cats get them. I had a female who kept her "abs of steel."
