At my shelter, we do combo test pregnant cats that are going into foster. 1. It's helpful for foster homes to know that they have a reasonably healthy cat. 2. A lot of our cat foster homes have cats already and we want the foster family to feel okay if the resident cats meet the foster cat (we usually discourage integration into the household with pregnant mama's but things happen!)
If the cat is in an early state of pregnancy, we opt to spay them. Until they hit the adoption floor, most of our holding cages are single so it's not super vital to know their viral state.
