Pomelo's incredible rescue story is absolutely everything. 💕

[@michelesimpson2237]

Thank Lord God for Shelly Roche. The bright spot in the universe.

[@miriambucholtz9315]

The next time I start feeling completely worthless, I'll remember that I've at least rescued, loved, and cared for several cats over the years. And yes, they've all been neutered or spayed.

[@mjrussell414]

Good work. We do what we can to leave the world a better place than we found it. Not every heroic action is publicly known. Never say you are worthless again, promise me. I’ve done the same, adopted 6 strays over the years that have wandered onto my property seemingly out of the forest. I presume they are barn cats kicked out by the dominant male. All lovely kitties with big personalities. There are two new interlopers visiting regularly for food. One is super friendly, the other reticent to come near. There’s a Bucholtz road not far from my house.

[@monicajones5668]

Tiny kittens is such an inspiration.I was thinking about getting a cat, then one day a cat with a clipped ear showed up in my yard.She was so sweet it took her a little while to trust me but she did and she brings so much joy to my life.Thanks for all you do.

[@bellbookcandle3051]

My hubs came upstairs & caught me ugly crying!😞 I said: Those people at Tiny Kittens!! 😭💙 You guys are heroes to me - & to so many more! Watching you over the last few years has only further convinced me. Much love & respect to each one of you, & thanks for sharing this beautiful story! 💖🐾

[@bedazzled621]

I remember when Shelly said she wanted Pomelo to see her kittens survive and grow. It has been such a joy to watch her experience it, probably for the first time. She has loved her babies from the minute they were born. Thank you Shelly and everyone at TK.

[@nibs8837]

No words, just grateful, happy tears.

[@allyjohnston3151]

still makes me cry and smile and the same time cause I know it ends happily

[@PennySue]

Another beautiful success story thank the good Lord 🙏

[@hedylogospothos9206]

You can see how happy she was with her babies 🐈♥️💕🐱

[@RedisFun2]

This survial story is next to Grampa Mason! She is amazing and her babies are a set of jewels. Thank you TK for the hours of tears and struggles to show this momma she was always doing it right, she just needed help!

[@Beruthiel45]

I am so so happy to know that Pomelo experienced a successful birth and was able to bring her babies to weaning and adoption time, enjoying their lives and no more losses, all thanks to the TK team and Shelly. I'm even more cheered to know she is being adopted with two of her babies and they will live happily ever after. Thank you very, very, much. It warms my heart. Xxxooo 💕🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐾💗🇨🇦

[@superannieoakley4513]

Broke my heart to think she lost litter after litter. So thankful it was caught & her last litter was saved. It's even better knowing she got adopted w 2 of her babies. Pom's been such a good mama too! Thank you Shelly & everyone else who helped these babies survive!

[@Grandmasgirl-tz4ch]

There are no words except Thank You🥰❤️

[@CharlotteIssyvoo]

I was so happy for her. I love that she turned in her feral card, and I got all choked up when I learned that she's been adopted with two of her babies.

[@sparklie962]

PomPom's story has been really incredible to watch unfold. I never, ever thought we'd see her relaxed enough to play in such a carefree way - and now she and her daughters are being adopted into a wonderful forever home. Just an amazing success story.

[@evansquilt]

Seeing her bat at the incubator to get at her babies - that poor kitty. I'm so glad she'll be with her daughters forever.

[@risstastic]

I know right? I was worried she'd press the buttons on the incubator and disrupt the heat or humidity! Thankfully nothing of the sort happened.

[@MeriLizzie]

That broke my heart too! Watching her try to find a way in to her babies! It was to save their lives & she finally didn’t have to watch all of her babies slowly die!

[@rain1956]

She was living what we'd call an alien abduction, if it happened to us. So it shows how much she trusted Shelly that her punches were never hard and she never scratched her.

[@MeriLizzie]

@@rain1956 that might be because, wisely, Shelly kept the incubator close enough that she could, at that least, see her babies. Cat moms recognize their young by the smell… I didn’t get to see the whole thing but I would’ve been worried if they’d been bathed?

[@thething1710]

So very happy she has turned in her feral card and is going to be with 2 of her babies. Thank you all at TinyKittens HQ for everything you did to save her and her kittens. And may Pomelo and her children have wonderful, peaceful lives ❤❤

[@FoamySlobbers]

She hasn't turned it in yet, but with steady guidance she will for sure.

[@mjrussell414]

@@FoamySlobbers Well, she won’t be in the streets with an uncertain future. She will be well loved.

[@FoamySlobbers]

@@mjrussell414 I wasn’t arguing, just stating facts. Of course she will.

[@kathleengivant-taylor2277]

This is the sweetest story with the best possible ending. Thank u too all at tiny kittens for all u do. Special thanks too Shelly. Best of luck and happiness in all there forever homes.

[@novembermiss]

What a beautiful video and tribute to a very good mama. I still remember watching when she gave birth, and then seeing her trying to get to her babies in the incubator. She had such lovely babies and she was wonderful with them. So glad she gets to keep her girls with her in her furever home! Thank you Shelly and TK for saving this beautiful family. This was an exceptional rescue.

[@ljh5141]

Oh my heart! My insides were quivering when little Mama got her babies back...the sweetness, the almost sad joy on her face...it was like she was afraid that it was too good to be true...I melted! So very happy that Pomelo was rescued by TK...Shelly, the woman of a million hearts, and all the wonderful people on her team, you are all amazing. Then, the coup de grace, Pomelo finds a new loving home along with 2 of her kitlets.💕💕💕🤗🤗🤗👍

[@bellbookcandle3051]

💯🙌🙌🙌💖👍🐾

[@RoseT20]

I thought I could tough it out and not cry but 2:32 made me start bawling. She looked so relieved and happy that this litter survived.

[@AnnieHayesAbaZoe]

It heals my heart a little to know that these three will stay together. Pomelo deserves a warm, safe, loved life, and that she gets to have that with two of her miracle babies is just perfection.

[@kathleengivant-taylor2277]

Totally agree. She has been thur so much. It just made my day when I heard she was going too be adopted with some of her babies. I always get so happy and cry when I hear stories like this

[@knit1purl1]

I had never heard of this blood type condition and had just found your channel. I'm amazed at how calm Mamalo was with people. She knew her kittens were priority. So happy they were adopted in pairs and two staying with mama. What an outcome. She'll adjust to her new home and people so much better with her two girls with her.

[@traciemac7026]

who's cutting onions here........ I'm crying happy tears as I re-watch Pomelo's journey with probably the only kittens she's ever been able to raise successfully. Thanks to Shelly and the TK crew and of course all of the wonderful families who adopt these blessed babies and their mummas. I only wish I was able to adopt from TK but alas I'm in Australia, although I do have 2 of my own adopted kitties 🥰🐾

[@deeanncommons5459]

Happy tears. I’ll be over here still crying. Thank you, Shelly, everyone at TK and last but definitely not least, her new forever family with 2 of her kids. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are all loved.🙏♥️

[@terrydeason1689]

A very special mama and babies💖 I am so very happy she is being adopted with her girls so she can always be with them. 💖💖

[@ostbagar3]

This maked me cry! Look at Pomelo, her happiness! So thankful that she got to keep her last litter before spayed! 💕

[@mollysmith6055]

So thankful to see a story like this unfold with so many blessings instead of only heartbreak. Thank you Shelly and your whole team for making this possible.

[@kristinlindberg6403]

Same here really needed this today 🥲

[@doraclay1]

This story brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Shelly and all the amazing folks at TK for saving this beautiful mama and babies and ending that cycle of loss. The best part is that Pomelo will never suffer the hard life of a feral and be able to live out her days with her girls. 💗

[@wholelottapurrring5392]

Amazing work (damn onions again) by everyone at TK and by mama Pompom who produced the chonkiest boy kitten ever. Happy furever homes to you all 😻🥰❤🐈🐈‍⬛🐾🐾

Of all the litters, dramas & amazing stories to emerge from TKs, this has to be one of the most amazing. Pomelo is moving onto her new life with her daughters thanks to love, compassion & skills of the team (TKs & vets). The blood matching knowledge & skills will save so many lives. Enjoy your new life lovely lady puss ❤️❤️

I am so happy for PomPom and the adopter who is taking in all three girls. My appreciation and thanks to the Mods for providing the Panda Pod and Panda's life for these beautiful babies.

[@datacoherence9559]

Tears are flowing. I have followed Pomelo's story from the time Tiny Kittens enfolded her in their love and care. The trauma this momma kitty has had to endure and overcome is mind blowing. May God keep a protective hand over Pomelo and all her babies. Pomelo, your forever home is just one more sleep away! And best of all is that two of your children are going with you. Tiny Kittens' Shelly and team thank you for all you have done and continue to do. Folks: Please spay & neuter. Adopt don't shop! 🐱 💜 And also please share this video to educate people on the horrors of uncontrolled cat (and dog) breeding.

[@suziephillips2320]

She looked so sad when she looked in at her babies!! So glad she got a home & hope the rest of the babies do too!!

So happy to hear she will get to live her life with her two girls and put all the suffering behind her.

[@rain1956]

The rapid change in Pom's facial and body expressions starting at 2:08, from cringing at the human hand intrusion to a slow blink when she realises she's been reunited with Alfie, and then the bliss of having her 6 kits back... It didn't take her long! And then, after her boys were adopted, she was still trilling and sniffing under the door for them until the night before she and her girls also went home. No way to tell her they're all safe and happy. So sad and sweet.
