Abstract: A female domestic short haired cat that delivered two live kittens was presented with prolapse of uterus immediately after kittening. The cat had an unassisted delivery with kittening time extending more than 24 hours after the appearance of the first water bag. The ‘Y’ shaped everted uterine mass was edematous, protruding out from the vulva from past 8 hours. Based on the clinical findings the condition was diagnosed as complete uterine prolapse. Manual replacement of the prolapsed uterus was performed and purse string sutures were applied surrounding the vulval lips to retain the prolapsed mass in place. After 10 days of monitoring there was no recurrence of the prolapse and the cat had an uneventful recovery.
