not people commenting "why do those kittens look sick and unhealthy" on videos where you literally talk about rescuing kittens from an environment where they've become sick and unhealthy... why don't you know how to wave your magic wand and make them instantly better?? on the reals tho thank you for what you do, i'm not in a position to foster at the moment but i'm going to start volunteering with a local TNR group. thanks for the inspiration

[@kellyngrey4950]

Not only that, but in her videos she always mentions something about being in vet school.

[@TheNerdyFosterMom]

I used to think that off-the-wall names were terrible. Unfortunately for me, my rescue loves off the wall names. Eventually the names grew on me and now I have three fosters called... Side Hustle Gig Work Robber Baron I named these kittens and I have never been prouder.

[@mollyrosales8537]

Robber Baron is an excellent cat name!

[@bek7562]

Ok but these are great goofy names. I've seen so much worse LOL

[@This_Is_Just_To_Say]

Mary fixing the set up so that the kittens can't keep getting into trouble climbing it and then Momma cat immediately knocking the whole thing over, onto Mary, while scattering kittens is great comedic timing xD

[@Dekubud]

As someone who likes adult cats and wants to foster senior cats when I get the opportunity, I can't imagine all the energy those sweet little fuzzballs take from you lol Thank you for for taking care of them and I personally love their names.

[@happy_ducky_wash508]

I love the babies names. My boy Oliver (😸), loves watching the kittens. He is completely enthralled. Love your videos. Thanks for all you do for the kitties.

[@kellyngrey4950]

Something to consider before fostering is doing so as part of an organization. Context: I foster for an organization and they: 1. provide medicine and medical care, 2. provide supplies (when they can), and most importantly, 3. they handle the adoptions. Fostering is very expensive, so you'll need help with the vet costs. But also, you want to find an organization that is active in getting cats homes. If you can only have 2 foster cats at one time, but then YOU are responsible for getting them homes... well, you probably be stuck with them for a good year or more. And that defeats the point of fostering. My organization handles the adoption process for my foster kittens and they go quickly. That is why I am able to foster so many per year - because I'm not "stuck" with them because I have to advertise for them. Hopefully this ramble doesn't scare you away from fostering! It's 100% worth it, but definitely find a good organization first!

[@ruleestory]

Glad to hear the assumptive comments don't bother you beyond "hey there's context y'all should know." You're doing amazing work for these babies and you deserve to be celebrated, not talked down to or roasted. (And for the record, I think your kitten names are hilarious and perfect.)

[@cate9540]

If I lived close to you, I'd be applying to adopt Babwitch and Disco Ball. Those little dinks are so cute. Name those kittens whatever you want. If the adopters don't like them, they can just give them new names. Some people aren't happy unless they can find something to feel superior about. They clearly haven't watched enough of your content to realize how much you do for these babies (like sweet little Fennec Fox 😢). It's good that you don't let those negative comments get to you.

[@Madronaxyz]

Exactly!

[@kathymarshall220]

We need a word, like mansplaining, for when unqualified (usually internet dwelling) people try to give advice about subjects they know nothing about! Maybe “subvising”… kinda like advising, but they’re subtracting brain cells from the general population 😂 Please never stop giving your fosters such brilliant and crazy names! They never fail to make me laugh 😂 and thank you for the incredible work you do ❤

Commentoring? Laysplaining?

[@cherijackson6727]

I lovingly call the cats I work with who are suffering from bum goblins as my "Muddy Buddies", because it's everywhere, they often step in it, spread it around, and it takes a little as a couple minutes. Cool thing is, I now can clean up the grossest stuff without gagging. It's like an unhelpful superpower. Thank you for sharing with us. You and your babies are awesome!

[@kharmachaos667]

Idea for next batch of kittens: bizarrely human names. Steve, jessica, robert, jason.... 😁

[@36janders]

Yes to the “day in the life” videos! I had been watching your videos since 2021, but I still didn’t understand how difficult fostering kittens could be when I took in my first litter a few months ago. All is good now and they’re all adopted out, but all of the unforeseen issues no one talks about much caught me off guard. My resident cat was FURIOUS about the mama cat, and I tried so many ways to keep them separate after reintroductions failed. The yowling when one was locked away while the other roamed was awful. Once Mama went to a new foster so her kittens could be weaned, my cat was fine with her kittens. I now know I can’t foster adult cats, only kittens. It was little unanticipated issues like that that tripped me up and caused so much stress. However, I loved helping them and will be fostering again soon.

[@aksez2u]

As you say, those people don’t know you and don’t know to trust you. Ignorant comments can be a sign of new viewers and channel growth. ❤❤❤ P.S. Love the funny and ironic kitten names!

[@kellyatwell3493]

Mary I am so impressed at how calm and patient you are with comments, you educating is amazing. I have a 17ish week old kitten and all I know is they are pure chaos and so much energy lol so just knowing a healthy kitten is that a sick one is so much more and all you do and vet school is amazing.

[@shadowsfive32]

As someone who worked as a shelter tech for a shelter who was also animal control, kittens are 100% little chaotic trash goblins. Sometimes, I feel like it's easy for people to forget that kittens that end up in foster usually came from awful backgrounds. They were found on the street, behind/under a dumpster, hit by a car, and so on and so forth. It's common to get kittens coming in with upper respiratory infections, eye infections, fleas, worms, diarrhea/vomiting, and (god forbid) ringworm. And I'm saying with all of those things at the same time. It's a lot to handle. Kittens run through their food, their poop, their water, and then ping-pong around like they're not filthy. There were so many times where I would get a kennel of kittens perfectly cleaned and nice, and literally, a minute later one of them would dump their water bowl or just shoot out liquid poop. Fosters and rescues would love to document and share videos/photos of their rescue but there's just so much to do it's hard to find time. As a shelter tech, working during the summer, I was working about 60 hours a week on average. One day, due to coworkers being sick and other things beyond my control, I took care of about 80 cats by myself. I started work at 6am and didn't get done until about 6pm. If you do have concerns, please ask questions! But more importantly, VOLUNTEER! Help fosters and shelters with the cleaning! That is what shelters usually need. We don't need people to play with the kittens. We need people to help us take care of animal babies. We need people to help with sanitizing, and cleaning litter boxes, and all of the other nasty jobs. Or, become a foster yourself! It's hard work but it can be so rewarding. Anyway, instead of choosing hate, educate yourself instead. Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk. Have a good day.

[@PoissonDemiVide]

Best Ted talk ever 🤣 “ little chaotic trash goblins” is 100% accurate!

[@xlerb2286]

So many people think kitten rescue is just about scooping up cute little fluffballs and if a kitten is sick it must be poor care. Not the case at all. We get a some pound rescues of cats, usually around a year old that someone "found" hanging around their apartment building. Often the person that "found" the cat is the owner and has gotten tired of the cat. They are usually clean and healthy and about the only clean healthy cats we get. Pretty much every other cat we get has been in the wild for awhile and they're dirty, often sick sometimes very sick. Certainly they have worms, etc. And often they are traumatized and it takes awhile for them to trust people again. It's hard and dirty work. But when you see that cat over their problems, happy again, and going to a new and better home - it's worth it.

[@mollyrosales8537]

I LOVE the names you give your rescues! 🤣 If people don't understand that you are constantly working with your veterinarian AND you're in vet school, then they need to read your profile! Plus, the people who think that rescuing kittens is easy and clean have never truly rescued anything! Kittens are hard. But SO rewarding in the end! I would love to learn where you advertise your kittens, since I have several who need good homes. Thank you for everything you do for the kittens, and keep sending us videos! 😻😻😻

[@meeshybee1654]

I absolutely love the off the wall names. I named my childhood kitty "Fuzzy", so let that be some inspiration for you. Fuzzy, Wuzzy, Wuzza, and Bear for your next foursome.

[@cuteologist82]

my dad named a long haired diluted calico we had wooley booger

[@Monocultured01]

Seconding those name ideas lol

[@meeshybee1654]

I should note those names would work best if the tiniest, most fluffiest one is the one named Bear.

[@kharmachaos667]

Some people just desperately need to learn not to jump to conclusions. That would help comment sections everywhere immensely. I'm so happy you're not emotionally distrought by people being mean or ignorant on the internet, and are approaching it with maturity. I respecc you a lot 🖖

[@kharmachaos667]

P.s. the off the wall names is very popular in the furby fandom. If you can't name your mechanical or flesh gremlins of joy "meatball supreme", wjat joy is left in this cold dark world? 😂

[@Nyis5]

My cat when he was a kitten had liquid poops once! One time and it was chaos. So 5 smols and mama aaannnd they were sick. All who foster are angels true angels

[@amymullen296]

I am so glad Disco Ball now has friends with which to wreak havoc. And this entire video was some A+ kitten havoc.

[@Ko-el]

I volunteer at a cat shelter - one of the things they tell people who clean the kitten room is ‘clean and walk away or you will be cleaning the whole day’. Kittens make messes in seconds LOL I fostered twice, the little gremlins are hard to keep up with. I had two litter boxes for four kittens and if both were even SLIGHTLY used one of the boys would pee in the water dish

[@mindyschocolate]

[@housecat7219]

Girl I'm a relatively new subscriber and I have to say, you are awesome. Bless you for rescuing all these precious lives. I have 3 cats right now that were from the street and they are the best ever. I'm in Texas and I wish I could adopt a little one from you. Although the three needy ones I have might not be too happy. Anyway, much love and respect 🩷

[@legendarymayormarylikestur8874]

Goodness, I hope some of those commenters never have kids. I rescued years back, before the interwebs. Luckily, noone judged me. There is so much poop in rescue, you quickly learn that said poop needs time to come out (of multiple kittens and mom), or they literally poop while you are cleaning. Every few hrs is appropriate. Eye yuckers happen for so many reasons... Treating their eyes sounds like a minimalization of what goes into curing whatever is causing the eye thing. Long story short, sick kittens eyes always look infected to laymen. Mary, you have such a great attitude on this stuff. Keep up the EXCELLENT work!

[@srenchin]

I'm very interested in what you are learning in vet school. Maybe you could do short videos based on things like... "The Most Interesting Thing I learned in Vet School Today" "What classes I am taking" "How I feel about dissection" "Learning about surgery" "Learning about infectious diseases" "How vaccines and drugs work" "Cat anatomy" "Tools of the trade, antiseptics to x-rays" "How to handle human clients" "Vet school tuition" "How to set up a brand new vet clinic, what I need, what it costs?" "Taking exams, what are they like?"

[@srenchin]

Please make a video about these subjects!

[@cleoclaus69]

I’m sorry but those people who commented on the cleanliness or smell must not have ever taken care of real, live cats. Unless they are stuffed, real cats, especially sick cats, will cause messes that smell, be it poop, pee, a runny combo of that, vomit, or all manner of effluvia from various infected or otherwise orifices. That’s just part of rescue. Many are too used to watching highly produced videos from rescuers who only focus on the shiny, pretty kittens in pristine, PR-worthy settings. Don’t let it get to you; we who know appreciate the love you give and the work you do for all your dinks. 😊

I will say youve made it look so easy. I've always loved cats and cows. I finally have the time to be able to foster amd participate in one of the locals rescues. I had 7 bottle babies (2 died from parvo worst thing to ever have to watch) but continued with the 5 left. I was pure joy BUT also chaos and panicking. They stank, the amount of "soft serve" poop that just would come out of them.....wow. thank you for always sharing.

It's amazing what you guys do. The silly names are perfect, and my husband thinks they're hilarious so keep them coming. Also, the Jenna Marbles refs with the Dinks? Oh my gooood. Love it. We all miss her but dedicating kitten names to references from her channel is just beautiful lol. Rabbwitch and Aries are my favorite names, but Garbage Plate is just a delight on camera. She's so mischievous and curious, climbing all over you and just soaking up the attention. Keep doing what you're doing, I'm loving your channel so much!

Right, she shows them getting the treatment they need, and she explains the treatment, and she tells us what the vet said. How do these people get "you don't get the kittens the right care" from all the stuff Mary shows and tells us in every single video?

[@Hexepresso]

Argh! The unsolicited advice comments drive me nuts. Not just on your videos but on any rescue's videos. Like... are you serious? You're going to give advice to a rescue, that has a team of people, vets likely on speed dial and actual veterinary students and/or techs volunteering with them. Okay then. I'm so glad that you can take it in stride and laugh about it. Laughter will keep you sane.

[@williamkash7162]

OMG, how dare you post videos that show ACTUAL REALITY! I wonder how many of these posters understand that you run a rescue, which means you take in sick, injured, frightened, traumatized animals, and that rehabilitation takes time and effort. Also, kittens are not just very cute, but very destructive; that's just part of their inherent nature when growing up. Edit: The worse cat names ever are those that run along the lines of Lord High Count Furdinand Purrilator the Third. Your choices rock in contrast to that.

[@safaiaryu12]

... I don't understand why people are so quick to assume that the kittens/cats aren't getting treated well. It literally takes a couple seconds to look at your channel and see that you know what you're doing. Certainly would take less time to check that than to write these ridiculous comments, especially the essay-length ones. 🙄 "All my life I grew up with a cat named Kitty, and guess what, I named her. So I feel like I've really moved up in the world." 😂😂😂 Honestly though, when you work in rescue, you run out of "normal" names pretty quick...

[@janashellbug]

[@MaiseNow]

Mary, real question: how do you keep the pee smell down to a minimum? I just have one ckd girl and she has decided the stone floor of the sunroom is the litterbox....even after I moved her litter boxes there and changed the litter type to one she'll use, she's still peeing on the floor but pooping in the box. I put down pee-resistant mats and wash them daily but they still leak through. I mop with an enzymatic cleaner daily at this point, and the tile is going to have to be replaced once she's gone--it's stained beyond fixing even with my cleaning up after her. I'm grateful it's not the carpet but the way the air flows in my house, combined with the sun heating up the room, it causes stinky problems and I am so embarrassed about it. Short of full nuking my sunroom every day I don't know what else to do.

[@hklover9130]

The only vinegar that should be within a cat is in their attitude~. /gen This said due to my family's tradition of saying that my cat is full of sauce or vinegar when they're in a play-fight mood. i.e. "Sir, are you full of sauce?"

I rescued a kitten that I found running in my yard after work earlier this year now he's my folks dog best friend they play every day. The day after I got him we had a bad flood I'm so thankful I was able to save little Shadow cause he wouldn't have survived that storm.

Your comments ring true. I had two baby raccoons to handle at one point (not 5 and a mama!) and it was EXHAUSTING trying to keep up... We moved them to an outdoor pen as soon as we could and then moved that pen around the yard because it was really not possible to clean it out any other way.

Omg you are a saint. I took in two baby street kittens and it was “let’s destroy the house with poo day” every day!!!!!! I bottle fed them and took care of them but those little monsters cause constant mess. People need to relax. Watching even just one video I can see how huge your heart is, how hard you work to help kittens, they get more vet visits than most kittens and how much you know yourself!! You’re amazing. Thank you!

I'm not a foster parent, but i got two Kittens a few years ago from a Foster-station, one of them had Catflue, which was treated when i got him but trough the stress it came back(not that bad thank goodness and till now he's clean even after two house movings *crosses fingers*) and after this my second baby got also sick. And it was nasty. But they where sick, i'm nasty when i'm sick xD. I had just the flue was disgusting, sneezing and sniffing and tearing all the time. People are just so weird ...

I never thought about the funky names helping out with petfinder. That's a great idea!

You're one of the bestest people on the planet, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
