  • APR 29, 2024: Feral mama Berkeley gave birth for the last time, to four beautiful kittens! Mom and babies are doing great so far - yay! Scroll down for weight chart.
    APR 21 2024: Feral mama-to-be Berkeley has eluded us for more than a year! We were FINALLY able to trap her using our remote-triggering robo-trap. She's pregnant, and will give birth for the last time in our care. Because she is feral, we will take a very specific approach to her pregnancy, labor, and raising her final litter of kittens in order to minimize her stress and maximize her + kittens well-being. If you see something that doesn't make sense, please ask our mods why we're doing it!
    Weight chart: bit.ly/4bbt4MQ
    We livestream our rescued cats, 24 hours a day, uncensored, to raise awareness about the realities of cat overpopulation in a way that inspires compassion. Watching Berkeley give birth for the last time is a great way for parents and kids to experience the “miracle of birth” without letting their own pets give birth and further contributing to overpopulation.

    It's so funny that she won't stop growling while she eats, and it literally sounds like "nom nom nom" when she's getting the food off the hand. 🤣

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who uses back scratchers for long distance treating, but I have the wooden ones from Dollar Tree. We have one feral who surprised us with 4 kittens about 3 weeks ago. She will not get up and eat or drink when anyone is moving within her sight. Trying to figure out what Shelly might do, I started using the fingers and putting dry kitten food underneath her jaw. She now lets me put a mush of stuff near her so all she has to do is lift her head to eat. Her feral card probably won't be shredded but she may become a working cat or go up to a nearby colony. I'm the only one who can scratch her head when she is full, but she doesn't mind anyone handling the kittens. Thank you, Tiny Kittens HQ for ideas to use here in the Deep South of Georgia.

    I love how Berkeley is such a beautiful "Frankenkitty" - the paws like a tuxedo, the upper area of a ginger, the face of a calico/tortie mix, & almost a siamese colored body. She's adorable, & I hope she decides that humans aren't so bad & chooses inside life. Free Churros when you're inside Berkeley!

    She's getting used to the idea at least. Mama kitty is less threatened when the fake hand is closer to the blanket I noticed, and she is slowly warming up to the pets, but will probably need a little more time before she doesn't mind. You are such an amazing person who takes care of mamas and babies, but also slowly helps these feral kitties realize not all humans will hurt them. Literally, you are an angel. ❤️

    When my son was about 1yrold, he would start to fall asleep in his car seat, with his head sort of drooping forward. But then he would jerk sorta halfway awake, and work his pacifier extra-hard like, "I will not fall asleep!" He made a funny noise when he did this and it sounded just like Miss Berkley when she growls and eats at the same time, lol. He's about to turn 32 this summer, and he's a vet tech. Of course I sent him a link to this video! LOL

    A show of trust when Shelly petted the kitten and Berkeley didn't snap at her. I hope she learns that she can feel safe around Shelly.

    Mr Churu hand is less scary than the brush. The last kitten to go had me holding my breath ❤. Love her, and the fact she may not like Shelly but loves her babies ❤❤. Hiss to Shelly but cute for the returning kittens ❤❤.

    Mom was so I Don’t Trust Yo. . .Wait, What Smells So Good. . . Back Off Lady, Mmm, That Tastes Really Good . . . Hey Don’t Think This Means I Won’t Shred Your Plastic Hand To Tiny Bits!!! I love that she didn’t eat that bit of clam on the blanket until the very moment she got her last kitten back! 😂 And the poor kittens were confused as to why their lovely naps were interrupted only to have to climb a mountain on paws that don’t quite fit right yet, to get back to their warm milk dispenser. 😄 Mom and babies are so adorable though I could feel my allergies kicking in just watching. 😜

    Berkeley has been getting along much, much better than Moracuda, especially when the towel didn't have to be applied to Berkeley.
