The Itty Bitty Kitty Committee

TINY is officially ready to be reserved for adoption! She is sweet, reserved, and cuddly. Tiny was brought to the nursery after her mom moved the rest of her siblings but left her. We’re not sure why Tiny’s mom decided to leave her behind, but in a way it worked out! We’ve been able to watch this little sweet pea grow and thrive for the last 6 weeks… now she’s ready to find her forever family!

__________

Kittens find their way to The Itty Bitty Kitty Committee after they are orphaned or rejected by their mothers at the most vulnerable time of their lives. After arriving at the nursery, they are hand raised in a home environment where they are able to grow into happy, healthy, and well socialized kittens. Kittens have been raised around other cats, dogs, kids, and adults and are comfortable with the hustle and bustle of a typical family home. Kittens have also been exposed to routine grooming from the earliest age possible.

In addition to an approved application (www.tinyurl.com/ibkcadopt), the adoption process includes a personal reference check and a phone/in person meet and greet (whichever works best for you!) We are located in Youngstown, OH. The fee to adopt a kitten is currently $100.

Kittens go home with an adoption package containing:

* Health records
* New Kitten Manual
* Information on pet insurance
* Any favorite toys
* Small bag of food to transition if needed

Kittens are fully vetted, including:

* Spay/Neuter
* Full Wellness Check
* FVRCP/FELV (4-Way w/Leukemia)
* FIV/FeLV Testing
* Rabies
* Dewormed and flea treated

📣🐾📣 ADOPTION ALERT! 📣🐾📣

DOECHII and DINDIN are on the hunt for the perfect family to call their own! They were found in a field after their finder followed their cries and discovered them all alone, hungry, and covered in burrs.

DOECHII is a female short-medium haired, domestic short haired Calico tabby. Calico tabby cats are known for their unique personalities, which can range from s***ky and feisty to aloof and independent. They can also be described as fiery and strong-willed, and some say they have a "catitude” 😹. Like most calicos, Doechii can be described as generally independent and she doesn’t require constant attention. She’s more than content keeping herself busy playing with toys or bird watching out a window, but will absolutely bond with a single owner or enjoy the company of a whole family.

DINDIN is a male short-medium haired, domestic short haired kitten. He is the sweetest, most loving little dude. I’d even go as far to describe him as being more dog-like than cat! He is confident, adaptable, patient, and playful… literally everything you’d want in a kitten.

Ideally, I would love to see these babies go together as they’ve already been through much as a dynamic duo, but they can absolutely be separated if needed.

aaaaand one more sibling of the premies just arrived 😅 when the finder got back home, she realized mom had one more!

01/07/2024

an early morning, urgent plea came from a good samaritan in canton today. she noticed a stray kitten had given birth to babies and was not tending to them at all; they still had placentas still attached, covered in goo and blood… without hesitation, she scooped them up and drove them over an hour to safety. she was able to snag mom as well before she left, and we are going to work on getting her fixed.

these babies are extremely premature. there’s no knowing what is or isn’t developed all the way in their tiny bodies. most of the odds may be against them, but they do have one in their favor— they are warm and loved with full bellies here at the nursery. 🤍

Doechii and DinDin have an ENTIRE playpen, but insist on using their litter boxes as a thunderdome 🥲

29/06/2024

Doechii and DinDin are the cutest sister brother duo!!! they’re currently around 4.5 weeks old and were found abandoned in a field covered in burrs. they were in rough shape when they initially found, but they’ve made a complete 180 since arriving at the nursery. they are NONSTOP purr machines!!!

introducing our teeny tinies, Tony, Toula, and Tiny!

Tony and Toula were rescued by a good samaritan after their mom was struck and killed by a car. they might look black from their pictures, but they are actually the coolest color— almost like a deep chocolate brown! we’ll have to wait and see if their color stays the older they get. 🖤🖤


Tiny, was given the cutest name by her finder… but don’t let her name fool you! what she lacks in size she makes up for in personality and pipes! 🎶 the girl who found her did an AMAZING job keeping her fed, healthy, and happy. 🤍

we’ve been busy at the nursery…. 6 new babies from a few different litters have shacked up here over the last week or so and DANG are they cute!!!

introductions coming tonight or tomorrow morning, soon as I settle on names!

26/06/2024

it seems like all I’ve done this summer is apologize for my absence…

we suffered another sudden, tragic loss here at home. Jackie Moon, our sweet FIP survivor, crossed rainbow bridge after a week of hospitalization, tests, and treatments. jack was in remission for almost 3 years and was doing incredible… however his little body and heart were weakened/damaged from the FIP and rough treatments.

Moon’s legacy lives on through the countless babies he’s helped raise throughout his time here on earth with us. 🖤

🌈RIP, sweet boy

…..

It’s been an exhausting 24+ hours.

I took in this little angel yesterday morning— the only survivor of his litter. He is 31g, premature, has a cleft palate, and contracted tendons in his back legs. His front ones aren’t looking quite right either, but only time will tell. His chances of survival may need slim to none, but he doesn’t know that. He’s a fighter. His finder named him Champ.

Even if his time here on earth is short, I’ll take comfort that he was loved and cared for his entire life, as brief as it was. 🤍

16/05/2024

I apologize for my absence… we experienced a very unexpected, heart wrenching loss here.

At the end of last week, I came from work to find my Milo passed away in the living room. He was only 6. Even though he was “special needs,” (he suffered a TBI after being thrown from a car in a bag as a baby), you’d never suspect anything was really wrong with him. Aside from being wobbly and a little quirky, never in a million years would I ever guess he would leave this earth so early and suddenly. The vet feels it was something inevitable and undetectable, possibly related to his old brain injury like a blood clot/stroke. I’ve been experiencing some pretty severe PTSD from finding him along with unmeasurable heartbreak and guilt.

Thank you everyone for your patience and those of you who have checked up on me during these last few days. 🤍 paw paintings will go out this weekend!

✨Asking for some positive vibes for 3 little premies that arrived last night.✨

These three were brought to the nursery by a Good Samaritan who unfortunately witnessed the rest of the litter being killed by a feral mom. 💔 As you guys can probably tell by the video, one baby is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than the other two… only 38g!

They made it through the night and have a lot of s***k for being so premature. Hopefully it’s a good sign.🤞🏽

Welcome to the nursery, Chiquita!

Weighing in at a whopping 60g, Chiquita was found all alone in someone’s yard. The odds are definitely stacked against her as she is incredibly small for her age. I stuck her next to Brad really quick for scale… picin the comments!

16/04/2024

No thoughts. Only cuteness.

15/04/2024

Welcome to the nursery, babies!

Five VERY fluffy kittens joined us earlier this week. They were in rough shape when they got here, so I’ve held off on pictures until they got a chance to recover a bit. Stay tuned for their proper introductions later tonight!

Kitten spring has finally sprung….. everyone welcome Moonpie to the nursery!

This fluffy potato was found yesterday, all alone at the Millcreek bike trails screaming his little head off before the storms hit. He may look like a chunk, but don’t let his floof deceive you— he’s actually quite underweight. I’m guessing he must have been alone for a while.

If you’d like to help donate towards Moonpie’s road to recovery, please consider donating an item from our wishlist. Moonpie is the calm before the storm… it’s going to be raining kittens before we know it!
