Any TinyKittens fans here??

[IcyPeas]

Mama number 3 is in labor. The other 2 are coparenting their 11 kittens. (If you rewind the dvr you can see the whole crew. )

These cats come from a rural farm. They are used to humans and they will be spayed as will the kittens (spay/neuter)

1. Beautiful kits!

Ty for sharing!

[SuzyandPuffpuff]

2. Sorry

I'm sure you're good at what you do but I spent 30 years as an LVT and part of my job was euthanizing litters of pups and kits bcz of over breeding and over population. Breeding offends me and if you've even seen an over used uterus from an over bred female anything; It's really sad. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. But I saw reality.

4. You do realize that Tiny Kittens is a rescue organization?

[Big Blue Marble]

7. Do you understand what Tiny Kittens is or what the organization does?

This volunteer organization founded by Shelley Roche over a decade ago has recused 100s
of ferals and has placed them in loving homes or after TNR has returned them to protected
colonies where they are fed and monitored for additional health issues.

This group has influenced people around the world to do the same. Shelley is a beautiful
example how one person acting in love and compassion can truly change our world.

9. It's clear you meant well

But please learn what you're commenting on before making kee jerk negative comments.

From the linked video:

Cornflower, Smudge, Spectra, Oriana and Opal are from our Hellga farm cat colony, where we've spayed/neutered 86% of the cats. We're still out there trying to trap the remaining cats, so this colony can enjoy the long, happy, healthy, kitten-free lives they deserve! In the meantime, these extremely preggo catermelons will give birth for the last time and raise their final litters of kittens on our livestreams before they're all spayed/neutered too.

76% of our Hellga cats have type B blood, so please be aware that we will need to blood type kittens as they're born in order to prevent a fatal condition called Neonatal Isoerythrolysis. This can be stressful to watch, and is definitely not our favorite thing to do, but it is the only way we can ensure no kittens are lost to a condition we can prevent.

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.

...into TK. I want that little orange and white baby -

I always find the chat fascinating - fans from all over the world.

8. I've forgotten what COS stands for.

Chamber of solitude?

That quite a "box of chocolates" of kitten colors. One person in the chat commented that the dilute coat mothers have the more brightly colored kittens, and vice versa.

10. Cabinet of Solitude

So many different colored kitties. Must be some handsome Tom's still in the neighborhood 😸

11. Maybe you already know this interesting fact about feline reproduction.

Female cats do not ovulate until the act of mating occurs. It's called "induced ovulators." If a female in heat mates with more than one male, kittens of the same litter can have different daddies.

We have a brother-sister pair of Siamese, whose mother was a tortie, and whose 2 litter mates were one gray and one tortie.

[IcyPeas]

12. Oh yes. I know. I've learned a lot

from watching TK since 2015. Things I wish I'd known when I had my first cat way back in the 80s.

One of the biggest things has been watching (some) feral cats become great housecats... even lap cats.

Shelly has accumulated so much knowledge which she shares with all the viewers.

And yes, chatters from all over the world and some of the mods too.

We're also lucky she is good with technology such as setting up multiple cameras in multiple rooms too!!

13. Slightly off topic, but related and funny. My husband once had occasion to tell a friend about...

...males cats having all those little spines on their penises. the friend said he was going to tell his teenage daughter that teenage boys were designed the same way -

[IcyPeas]

16. Oh dear. She'll be traumatized for life. 🙀

[Totally Tunsie]

14. Well now you've done it...

I'll never get any sleep from now on!!

OMG - I've been watching these adorable kits for the last three hours, and have to drag myself away.
BUT - thanks for all the cuteness. I can see I'll be a "regular" now...HOOKED!

[IcyPeas]

15. I understand completely....

I started watching in 2015.... it is addicting and educational too. Sometimes when I'm going to bed I think "let me take a quick look at the cats"... haha a big mistake.

Just wait until they're in the shenanigans stage. It's going to be total mayhem.... and I can't wait.

😻

[Totally Tunsie]

17. It's going to be hilarious with 15 of them running around.

All I can think of is the phrase "It takes a village..." because those Mamas won't even know who belongs to whom.

[Totally Tunsie]

18. UPDATE: One month later...

and I'm existing on 3-4 hours of sleep per night. The "bags" under my eyes could hold enough clothing for weeks.
WHY? Because I am now hopelessly addicted to tinykittens.com! OMG, IcyPeas, this much cuteness should be illegal.

In addition to watching the Spectra/Oriana/Smudge brood, I was mesmerized by Opal and Cornflower's birthing experience and follow all of them religiously now. Have to admit to a favorite: I'm in love with Bugs from Spectra's litter. He truly is the kitten of my dreams.

So, I alternately thank you and curse you nightly for introducing me to the wonderful world of tinykittens.com.
And now, back to their website...

19. Cute. Are they going to be adopted

Last edited Fri May 22, 2026, 10:42 PM - Edit history (1)

Or used as barn cats?

[Totally Tunsie]

20. Most are available for adoption, Figarosmom, but several are being retained

by the Helga Farm where the clowder originates.

Tinykittens is currently taking applications for the adoptables, but competition for them is fierce. A main stipulation is that once approved, the adopter must pick up the kitten in Fort Langley, BC, Canada. They want Final Approval in person, and will not ship their kits alone. All kits are spayed/neutered and vaccinated at 8 weeks of age, prior to release. The five litters (23 kittens, w/ for Smudgebob) currently range in order from 4-6 weeks, with Opal and Cornflower's being the youngest -
