This is the last photo of me and Wyatt together from Dec 28. His favorite place was tucked under my chin. I would read a book while he napped, making his little mouth noises as he slept. Sometimes I pulled a blanket over him to keep him warm. Wyatt didn’t like his ears touched, so I had to be careful not to breathe on his ears or he would wake up and shake his head.

For many months, Wyatt stayed in the foster rooms with other kittens and got snuggler visits; but eventually last summer I brought him downstairs for good and that’s when we really bonded. There wasn’t a day that we didn’t cuddle on the couch together.

Every single night, I would kiss him goodnight, tell him I loved him, and say “have some sweet dreams, Wyatt.” I didn’t know if he would pass in the night and I wanted to be sure I never missed telling him. A few times, I forgot, and I would come back downstairs and wake him up to kiss him goodnight and tell him I loved him.

Something I know for sure is that Wyatt understood how much I love him. Forever and always.

Kanga, our mom with the nasty cheek wounds, is having surgery today. She’s under anesthesia for a derm biopsy, where they’ll take a piece of the skin and send it to a lab for testing. There are so many possible causes for her wounds — bacterial infection, allergy, autoimmune disorder, abscess, cancer — the only thing we’ve ruled out so far is ringworm.

While she’s under, the vet will also perform her spay and check her teeth.

The results take up to 2 weeks, so I’ll need to be patient. (Not my forté!) In the meantime, Kanga is wearing a space-themed soft cone to prevent her from scratching her face.

Yes, indeed, those are her front paws with 7 toes each!

Although Kanga’s spay is already covered under our Richard Bennett Spay Fund, her biopsy is an additional $400. We have a bit more needed to cover it, if you’re able to give a little: kitkatplayroom.com/donate. You can note it’s for Kanga. Thank you!

I received a memorial gift with this poem by David Romano. I’m starting to read a few messages, sobbing my way through them. But only a few. I’m glad to hear from some of you that it will get easier, because right now it feels impossible.

C-note is C-U-T-E to the max, with a little something extra—extra toes, that is! This roly-poly, endlessly jolly little buddy is full of curiosity, boundless energy, and the most adorable polydactyl paws you’ve ever seen. A natural adventurer, C-note loves exploring and trying new things. His day might include a climb to a window perch, a daring swing at a dangling toy, and a dramatic roll onto his back in his signature turtle pose—always on the move, always loving life.

Toys that make noise are his absolute favorite, along with anything sparkly, darting, or dangling. He’s a master of pom-pom “hunting,” carrying his prey with pride, and his turtle pose makes him an adorable champion when it comes to tackling kickers with sheer enthusiasm. His extra toes give him a special edge in his playful escapades! After his daily adventures, C-note is more than happy to snuggle up in your lap for a cozy nap, recharging for his next big mission.

This playful little guy adores spending time with his siblings, so if you don’t already have a young, playful cat at home, consider adopting one of his brothers or sisters to join in on the fun. C-note is ready to bring joy, laughter, and love into your life—extra toes and all!

Hectare is a clever, energetic boy with a delightfully goofy personality that will keep you smiling all day long. He’s all about experiencing life to the fullest—climbing to the highest towers, testing out the scratchers, pouncing on toys, and just generally having the time of his life.

If you’re on the hunt for a cuddle buddy, Hectare is your guy! He loves to snuggle and will happily melt into your lap, your hands, the folds of your sweatshirt, or the crook of your arm for a cozy nap. But once he’s recharged, it’s back to playtime, and Hectare doesn’t hold back. To him, every toy is the best toy—whether it’s a prey toy to carry around, a jingly ball to chase, a kicker to attack with gusto, a spring to zoom after, or a wand to leap at with uncontainable enthusiasm.

Keeping up with Hectare’s zest for life is no small task. He’ll thrive with a fellow adventurer by his side, so plan to adopt him with a sibling or make sure there’s a playful young kitty waiting for him at home. Hectare is ready to bring boundless energy, endless fun, and plenty of snuggles into your life—are you ready for him?

This sweet little boy is an absolute heart-stealer! Franklin boasts massive polydactyl toesies that are simply irresistible. He’s a clever little adventurer who loves exploring and investigating every nook and cranny, whether on his own or with a buddy by his side.

As he roams his surroundings, Franklin seems to channel his inner big cat—imagining himself as a spotty, stripey jungle prowler. You can almost see him stalking through the wilds, dipping a paw into a stream (or maybe a water bowl) for a careful sip before unleashing his mighty mew and pouncing on his “prey” toy with wild abandon. No toy—be it a ball, spring, pompom, or wand—stands a chance when Franklin is in full hunter mode.

But even the bravest explorers need their downtime. When playtime winds down, Franklin will eagerly seek out a cozy lap and demand belly rubs, showering you with love in return. This adventurous little man thrives on companionship, so consider adopting him with a sibling or ensuring he has a young, energetic buddy waiting to share in his escapades. Franklin is ready to bring his curious, loving spirit into your life—are you ready to welcome him?

I’m so sorry that I haven’t been able to reply to anyone’s messages and comments. I haven’t been able to read any of them yet. It’s too painful.

He was a happy boy up to the moment he passed. He knew only joy and love. He didn’t live in pain or discomfort. He was never harmed.

He went quickly, in my arms, at home. It was how you’d hope it would happen.

But I’m not grateful yet. I’m overwhelmingly sad and miss him so damn much. I miss him. I miss him. I miss his happy face and his slobbery tongue and his insane purrs. I miss his smell — he always smelled like KFC. I miss his tippy taps as he ran across the floor and the sound he made when he raced up the ramp and I knew he was coming to cuddle. I miss the mrrrp he made when he wanted me to pet him. I miss the sound of his crinkle mat.

I know I can’t die of a broken heart, but it sure feels like I could.

(Thanks for understanding if I don’t reply to you. )

Kanga’s ringworm culture came back negative (hooray!!), but something clearly is going on with the skin on her face. She’s going back to the vet for a recheck on her skin issues, which have gotten worse since the first vet visit.

Since the Centurions don’t have ringworm, Kanga’s kittens are officially up for adoption! Me’a has a home, so it’s the three boys who need a home. We’ll be posting their adoption bios in the next few days, or you can get to know them on their 24/7 livestream at kitkatplayroom.com/live.

The last photo I took of Wyatt was around 10pm on New Year’s Eve. I had just gotten up from the couch where I was cuddling with Wyatt and Tate. Wyatt was full of energy and demanding pets. I miss him so very much. I haven’t been able to read any of your messages yet — it’s just too hard. I do appreciate them and will go back to read them when I’m feeling stronger. This is incredibly hard. My heart is in a million pieces.

01/01/2025

This is the hardest post I’ve ever had to write. Wyatt passed away today. He was in his bed and suddenly became distressed. I rushed over, held him, tried to figure out what was wrong, and he stopped breathing. It was very quick. I tried CPR, but he was gone.

I’m not okay. I probably won’t be okay for a while. Wyatt was my whole life for the last 10 months. I know there are hundreds of great memories, but each one feels like a shard of glass.

He was the happiest baby ever. He knew nothing but love. And I miss him more than anything.

Thank you for all you did to give him the best life.

I love you, Wyatt. I love you with my whole, shattered heart.

This is all I’m able to write for now. 💔

Join us tonight for Wyatt’s New Year’s Countdown! I’ll be doing a laid back livestream with Wyatt starting around 11:30pm EST on our YouTube channel. Watch for the live to start at YouTube.com/kitkatplayroom. Nothing fancy. Just chilling on the couch and chatting as we count down to 2025!

Please note that we run a family friendly chatroom, so please no swearing or references to adult substances. We can toast with sparkling cider!

From all of us at Kitkat Playroom, I cannot thank you enough for the Christmas cards you sent. We received over 800 cards with the most heartwarming, uplifting messages inside. Every single one was read aloud first to Wyatt and then the kittens and hung on our Playroom walls. The letters touched me so deeply — from all over the world, you sent messages of love and support, shared personal stories of tragedy and triumph, and decorated your cards with stickers and drawings.

Thank you to each person who took the time to choose a card, sign their name, and drop in the mail. My heart burst with gratitude and joy this season. Wyatt got exactly what he wanted for Christmas — buckets of cards from the ones who love him!

Joyous Holidays and Happy New Year!! 🎊

Welcome our last intake of 2024 — this beautiful mom with her three newborns as our 101st litter! Thus, we named them after 101 Dalmatians (Perdita, Pongo, Penny and Freckles). Mama Perdita and her babies were surrendered when their owner could no longer care for them. I love that their owner found them a safe place to go instead of dumping them somewhere dangerous.

Moms with babies are some of my favorite surrenders because we will spay her and sterilize the kittens, too. No matter what happened in the past, this family will live the good life from here on out!

Please consider a year end donation to help support the Dalmatians, Centurions, Wyatt, Harmony and Cadence, plus the cats and kittens who will start arriving in 2025.

It is Wyatt’s *First* Christmas! He joined me today at his Gma’s house and met his aunties from Massachusetts. Wyatt absolutely loves the gas fireplace (don’t worry, there is a screen for safety) and when he’s not playing in the wrapping paper (like a proper cat!), he’s lounging in his fireside bed. Please, let this be the first of many Christmases that he’ll celebrate!

Our volunteers are working today, monitoring our livestream chat and taking care of the kittens. Take a minute to thank them when you join the livestream chat while watching the snugglers visit our mom, Kanga, and her four polydactyl babies! kitkatplayroom.com/live

When I’m on my phone, this is how Wyatt begs for attention. *tap*tap* *mrroew* *head shove* Of course, I can’t resist petting him. His demands are adorable. 🥹 New to Wyatt? FAQs answered here: kitkatplayroom.com/wyatt

When you thought you were an apex predator, but the spring toy said, ‘Not today!’

Look at Harmony on the stairs! Harmony is a kitten with a neurological condition called cerebellum abiotrophy that affects her balance. She’s adapted to her condition and has slowly been mastering steps! She loves to follow her foster mom around the house and enjoys eating downstairs with the adult cats. She’s looking for an adopter — if you think you can provide her a loving home, please apply at kitkatplayroom.com/adopt.

Scary episode over!! I think I know what caused his breathing problem. Right before it occurred, he was eating. He came to see me after he was finished, and he regurgitated several times. His breathing was heavy and fast. After a couple hours of oxygen, his breathing improved. I let him out of oxygen and he went back to eat shortly after. He then visited me on the couch and was breathing pretty normal! Wyatt has megaesophagus and he does regurgitate sometimes but I think it really affected him tonight. I think he’ll be okay!

When I tell you that Stanza is in the Top 5 Greatest Cuddlers of KKP History — I’m not lying! This boy cannot get enough lovins. If you’re looking for a kitten (or two!) who will invade all your personal space, apply to adopt Stanza (and his twin, Cadence!) kitkatplayroom.com/adopt

You always know it’s Wyatt when you hear those footie steps! He does have something wonky about his front legs, especially the left one. When it first started to look strange, Wyatt was fighting for his life and it wasn’t a priority. Now that’s he’s stable and it looks like he could be around for a while (🙏🏼), I’ve booked an orthopedic consult to get his legs checked out. He goes next week!
