10 years ago, a tiny stray kitten made her way through our front door and into my heart. My dad opened the door and she was right there. She walked right in like she owned the place, and soon, she totally did. A whole decade later, Squeaks is the light of my life and I don’t know what I’d do without her. I still wonder where she came from, but a friend who lived near by recently told me that her nights are filled with the sounds of feral cats fighting. I assume that’s where she came from, but I know that we will never be sure.

Squeaks: hippity hoppity, your heart is now my property.

[@jayneneewing2369]

Elias - Wonderful story. There was once a car in our neighborhood. My son was younger then and the cat chose him. Eventually she became brave enough to approach us, then let us hold her, and finally come in the house and curl in laps and spending the night with us. A few years ago she didn’t come back, as she was old by then. Our hearts were broken. We’ve had two wonderful cats over the years, but I will always keep our future kitten as a house cat. Our first car was perfectly happy with us like that, and we loved her so very much right up to the time she went to Kitty Heaven. Kitten Lady is an amazing woman. Thanks for all you do.

One of my favorite cats came to me on a warm August night. My neighborhood was a site for abandoning animals and we watched some big truck pull up next to our house and threw something small and black out the window before speeding off. It was a black kitten. My mom went over and tried to get her but she was so scared she ran off. We did eventually get her inside and cleaned up, she stayed with us for years and had a good loving home-

I'm currently trying to convince my city to help me get a male stray spayed, I have hope for him to get adopted because he is really sweet, but they're arguing he isn't the one "making" the kittens so he isn't a priority 🙄 Stray male cats deserve veterinary care as much as the females, but it seems like people are less open to giving them a chance, it's sad... I'm pretty sure he used to have a family and got left behind in a move, he is really human friendly, I'm currently feeding him but I can't afford to adopt him. I'm hoping the waiting list for my local cat charity goes through fast 🤞🏻

[@kimchi8022]

[@NOYB6930]

4 years ago, a young woman who worked at a restaurant in my local shopping center approached me because of the cat magnets on my car and told me she was going to college and would it be possible for me to help her find a feeder for a stray unsocialized cat that she had been feeding for a little under a year. this shopping center is less than a mile from my house and I'm here all the time, so I was more than willing to take over responsibility. I asked her if the cat had been fixed, and she told me that yes he had. I started feeding the cat. I placed a shelter discreetly for the cat and set up a feeding station, all that stuff. I periodically saw the cat and he was not socialized. I didn't see him for well over a month coming into June 3 years ago, 2017. But the food was being eaten, so I figured everything's fine. Then he turned up with two kittens in tow. He was a she, she was not fixed. We got the kittens taken care of and into rescue as they were old enough to be separated from Mom, and then trapped Mom and had her fixed, vaccinated, ear tipped and returned. 7 months later, in the middle of a brutal winter, I caught sight of a kitten inside my fixed mama cat's shelter. This was about a month after Christmas, so late January 2018. We managed to trap that kitten and get it into rescue as well. I set traps and trail cameras and everything. We do not have a huge free roaming cat population in my specific area of northern Virginia. Not once did I ever find an adult cat coming to the feeding station other than my fixed feral mama cat. Sadly, we think that that kitten had been someone's Christmas present who then got dumped. Because without posting a picture, I did post on local message boards asking if anyone had lost a young cat. This cat was like 12 weeks when we found him. No one ever stepped forward. I was fortunate that my vet's staff took on the challenge while I had him boarded to socialize him, and he was adopted to a loving wonderful home.

I'm going to finally get a cat after so long, and I'm more happy than I've been in a very long time, especially because I've been struggling with my mental health recently.

[@aislingsong236]

I’m happy for you. I’ve grown up with cats and now make a point of, when I adopt, to get the last chance cats from the shelter. My oldest cat is 17. Her daughter - the only one from the litter I kept - is 10. And then I have three boys, two belonged to someone who couldn’t keep them. And the last was a last chance boy from the shelter - poor thing weighed in at 25 pounds and would’ve been put down because of the amount of care he needed. When you get your cat, take a look at some of the adult ones. Their personalities are pretty obvious, they don’t need litter box training - and they’re happy to have a new home. :)

[@EMSpdx]

It probably is inbreeding. Litter mates will and often will mate with each other AND you can have litter mates who will mate with their parents.

[@bassaddict8984]

Claire Mahony Unfortunately yes. It causes disabilities. We had some stray cats we were feeding and neutering over time, but sadly there was a litter of kitties that was unlike the others. 2 survived (they had nothing which was that bad, just a little bit to small for their age) with a lot of work and help from vets, but one little kitty had been put to sleep, because it had no mandible. The vet said he couldn‘t do anything else for the poor kitty 😢

[@muezzus2626]

I have a cat that was found as an adult stray. I always wondered his origin - what did he look like as a baby, how did he 'grow up', so it's really cool you found that here!

Me, too! A large orange tabby that wandered our front door for food with the other strays we feed. He allowed us to pet him, once we let him in, that was it! Vet said he was about 4 yrs. and that was 2 yrs ago! When I see tabby babies, I wonder if Leo looked like that.....

[@Quila1125]

i was lucky enough to find mine when she was a newborn and i got to watch her grow outside with her momma till 8 weeks. then i took her in. i wonder her moms origins as well. idk how old her mom is as she was born before i moved in here. but she smaller then her mom is but shes gotta be way over a year

[@marielcolley5656]

About a month ago the outdoor cat my mom was feeding seemed to gain a lot of sudden weight and my husband and I took her in. It turns out she was pregnant. She gave birth almost three weeks ago to 6 kittens. It’s been such a wonderful adventure and I cannot wait to keep fostering once they are all grown.

[@Windmelodie]

Keep in mind that cats can become up to 15 years old (ofc some get older than that or die much younger, I'm talking about an average) and can have up to 2 litters PER YEAR, each having an average of 3-6 kittens. So, even if the cat doesn't have a litter each year until her death, even just reproducing during twice a year for 4 years of her life could lead to *up to* 48 kittens, each of whom may live for over a decade too AND reproduce as well (again, this is just an example, not a 100% probability). And cats become fertile within the first year of their life (most I have seen were around 6 months). Unless you're a professional and responsible breeder, make sure to spay/neuter your cats and ESPECIALLY do that when they go outside.

I adopted my kitten from a shelter that started out as an organisation's whose mission was to do TNR, feed and provide medical care for feral cat colonies. They post weekly updates about what they do for these feral cats (along with adoptions of the week, etc.), and it's really wonderful to see all they do for these cats. I absolutely did not seek out this particular shelter, but I'm so glad my kitty comes from such a wonderful place. (They also chose to fix his broken hip when the vet recommended euthanasia, and I'm so happy they let my baby take the lead and show them he wanted to fight for his life.)

I just took in the most recent litter from one of the cats that my dad feeds. I have been trying to get him to trap the gramma kitty for two years. He is finally trying to actively catch gramma, mama, and uncle. Hopefully, we can bring this little colony under control within the next week

[@IstanbulCats]

Hello my friend You are a very good woman 😍🥰 Thank you for feeding them and giving your love 🙏 God bless you and your family, I also feed stray cats and give them love 🙏🥰

[@anonymousbl0bfish]

I’m fostering a little black kitten (4 weeks) and you have helped me so much! You have inspired me so much ❤️ 💕

[@rubberbandshee2188]

FINALLY addressing the ROOT CAUSE!! If we can't Spay and Neuter Mom & Dad Cat we cant EVER Stop the Cycle. Thanks so much for getting this kind of information out there cause this is truly the ONLY way to stop the cycle and hopefully someday only kittens that will have homes and can be born indoors=the shelters never have "Kitten Season" just imagine how awesome that will be!

[@Keira-um7mz]

I have five foster kittens who came in with a group of 21 others all found in the same area

aww everybody has a mustashe

[@attilathehen1555]

Our 14 week kitten is from a feral litter, whose mum got away on the first round of TNR with our local rescue charity. She is now living the kitten free life in her colony and I hope his litter was the last one there. I’m so grateful to them and you for doing this. He has been partly hand reared, thoroughly socialised and after owning us for 5 weeks is well on the way to getting us trained to his preferences. ❤️

Go Kitten Lady....saving one little fur paw at a time . You need a super cape! I got all my 3 kittens from a shelter....wouldn't have it any other way...

[@chaosengine4597]

Rebel as the saying goes, not every superhero wears a cape. But I get you 😉

[@Shila799]

Great effective video. Chick pea’s a star! Lots of stunt kittens and extras. LOJ

[@Spacleaf123]

I have a momma and her babies and we’re trying to get them fixed and released but no one talks about how much or how extremely expensive it is to do so :(. I have one place down here where I live that will do 55 per cat but the place fills up so instantly that you have to stay up till midnight the night before the post the schedule to hopefully get even 1 appointment! I have a go fund me but no one wants to donate to get a group of cats fixed.. I just wish someone talk about it more. Everyone says get them fixed get them fixed. But it costs 1000$ to get a group of 5 kittens (3 girls 2 boys ) fixed

[@angelwings1979]

Francey Childress I'm not sure where you live but you might try and contact some of the rescue groups or TNR organizations around you for help finding a low cost vet. I know around where I live the vets have a program where once a year they do spay and neuter proceedures for free during a week in the summer. Good luck!

[@Spacleaf123]

Amie Harrison I’ve tried and they just don’t offer that many services near where I do live it’s pretty much go to a vet or go to that one place that fills up to quickly

[@suzy1750]

Hi. Thanks for what you do. Not sure where you live but in some cities, the ASPCA has low-cost spay/neuter programs.

[@Smile-ni9nc]

Could you maybe post the link to your go fund me? I`m sure this is the right community here to help with something like this

[@suzy1750]

Sorry, wouldn't attach but you can cut/paste link - it's $35/$40 per cat.

[@2thatonegirl16]

thank you so so SO much for being a huge proponent of your TNR program!! it is so important to spread this information: your outside cats need to be spayed and neutered!! if you're feeding outside/community cats, they need to be trapped, fixed, and released if they're feral!! too many kittens starve and die because their moms can't or won't care for them!! get the cats of the streets and control the population and they'll be safe and cared for!

[@Joyful_Jo_]

Seems like the mustache is a dominant trait in this family :D

[@ravendevino6419]

I'm so happy the shelter I recently started working at has partnered with a vet for a vigorous TNR program. Kittens are cute, but they sort of lose their shine when you are dealing with care for 25, and 4 half feral moms with litters.

Thank you for saving the family and relatives. When I was younger, I also rescued strays, had them neutered and I adopted some. Love them all. Wish people would be more sensitive and carrying. Also with dogs. But I prefer kitties. 😻😻😻

[@joannmicik1924]

They are sort of "chickpeas in a pod"... Good job! Keep up the good work. I'm trying to find support to get a colony sterilized at a local service station. A friend rescued a very ill little boy last winter and we took him. He's a strapping big (Neutered) cat now and we love our Martin.

[@e-blackheart]

How can I get a tnr program started in my community? There isn't one here and I would love to help. I've been doing out of my pocket for over a decade but fonances have been difficult lately. And the prices keep going up. I used to take them to a place that they charged me only $50-65 but the start of this year they increased the rates to $120 and that's at a humane society.

[@aamandazittlau5505]

FrostyKatKit wait do you mean tnr can be illegal if it’s not an official program?? That’s so messed up 😿

[@majoxt]

I don't know where you are from, but just start doing TNRs around your community by youself. Buy or borrow from another rescuer some traps and get a vet to help you out, some of them will do it for a very cheap price.

[@chrmd16]

subscribing and watching your videos are the only ways I can help you to continue rescuing these adorable furballs. You are my saint. and thank you for doing what you do.

bro Ive never seen so many cats that share a unique marking like DAMN that mustache is like the butt-chin of this family

[@Itz_Mothii]

All of the cats except one that I have had so far are rescues. First is Lucifur a stray at my grandparents house before they were grandparents. Lool, Found in a bush in the yard only a few weeks old. Echo and Chi (Current cats. The others past away. Both lived till 18) were two of the kits that a stray cat in captivity had. :4

[@Itz_Mothii]

@Cats In Slow Motion Aw thanks so much! 😊

[@rubichatalian3418]

I live in the Antelope Valley, Ca. Low cost spay neuter vouchers come and go, If you are lucky to get one, then you pay $20.00 per cat. They do the same for dogs.. There is an organization in Simi Valley, Ca that helps with the cost of spaying. When they run out of funds, then the whole Valley suffers. There are some wonderfukl people in the AV. In particular, the ladies at The Leona Valley help out with cats, especially; I will give a shout-out to Joy Rodrieguez from the Leona Valley, who uses her personal funds to help animals in need. She is an animal dental hygienist, who goes all over the area to help cats and dogs ..She has a group of fosters that are located in the AV and Santa Clarita.

[@manthasagittarius1]

Yup! You found Tuxedo Junction! So good to get some of them neutered and homed. They really are beautiful.

[@blueprint-edits]

I'm really curious, maybe someone can answer this: would kitten and mama recognize each other after being separated for a longer time? Maybe even when the kitten was taken when it was only a few days old? Or for how long apart do they still recognize each other?

[@fatherramen475]

I highly doubt they would.

[@ThunderStruck15]

For cats it’s mostly about smell. You take a cat away from her kittens and put her into something that makes her smell differently, and the kittens will treat her like a strange cat.

I love your videos and you inspire me so much !!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm not Kitten Lady, but the very best thing you can do to keep your cat safe and well so that it will live a long happy life is to keep it indoors always.

[@rebeccajoensson]

Wait as long as you can before taking the kitten from its (tame) mother. She can teach it things you can't do as well.

[@HappyEnuff]

Kitten Lady you are like a marketing genius!! To go from the most adorable kitten as a topic, of sorts, to TNR in a community. WOW You never fail to find awesome ways to educate people and importantly drive your personal cause. You are also Mighty!! Peace and love.
