I did not expect this…all three brothers and Mommy Sassy Paws are camped out in front of the nursery door giving love and affection underneath the door. Incredible to witness. #kittens #spayandneuter #spay #kittenrescue #love #mamacat
Rest in peace sweet boy. I know you are playing with Slapjack and the rest of the zoo we have lost in heaven. We love you so much Matteo. Ten years just wasn’t enough. #cancersucks #catsofinstagram #catrescue #petrescue #iquana #catsandreptiles #reptilerescue #unusualpets #heartbroken

The last few weeks have been the hardest time of our lives here at the zoo. We cannot thank you all enough for your support, love and encouragement. Thank you Dyana for your incredible donation and beautiful card. You have no idea how much it means to us. Love you. Thank you for also restoring my faith in life long friends. Thank you to everyone who has prayed and supported us. We feel you. And I think we are ALMOST there.

The babies had their 2nd vaccinations and check ups today. It has been a long week where we thought we might lose this battle with little Meeko and worst case all of cats! Our amazing vet Dr. Oakes has guided us through every step of the way. We didn’t ask for a feral cat to move into our backyard but it is what it is. We are trying our best and our sweet vet is going above and beyond. More to come! #wherescoco #blackcat #whyus #kitten #kittenrescue @the_riley_zoo
The zoo had a visit with the original pet sitter and OG Auntie Sandy today. She brought us an incredible original art piece her niece created along with a gift card to Petsmart. We then had a modeling shoot today in between music lessons. The humans, reptiles and kitty cats were perfect models. We have a huge announcement coming soon! So many wonderful things happening all at once. Thank you to everyone who continues to support us and please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. #kitten #kittensofinstagram #kittenrescue #pet #petrescue #adoptdontshop #florida #orlando #reptile #reptilesofinstagram
Bagheera is BEGGING to get in with the kittens. Not yet buddy.
First wobbly steps tonight and two of them had a beautiful reaction to seeing Mama for the first time now that their eyes opened. Wait for the end. Day 11! #kittens #newbornkittens #catrescue #petrescue
Say what??? It’s National Kitten Day you say? Well here ya go….
The babies are geniuses! They are starting to try and walk and their eyes are opening already!!! We have one week to turn one of our rooms into their nursery and we are overwhelmed with the gifts and support we have received! Thank you to the Bakkar family for yet, another gift of a kitten play pen. They are now so big we need more than one! And thank you to my sweet student Davis and his family for sending us a cat tower. They will need to sharpen their claws, jump and play so this helps so much. Thank you all so much. We soooo appreciate it! 😻🙏🏼😻🙏🏼😻
Day 4 and everyone is doing great! Mama is literally perfect but was so over these two today. 😹😹😹 #kittens #mamacat #petrescue #cats #catfight
The babies are having drinks at the Sassy Paws Saloon.
Six weeks ago a very aggressive feral cat decided to move into our backyard. Long story short….she had 6 healthy babies last night and our lives have been changed forever. More details to come. #kittens #petrescue #mamacats
It’s happening!!! Please pray for all are healthy!!!!
Long story longer….Sassy is about to pop! We can feel and see her babies moving now in her big ole belly. Matt is able to kiss her on her head and belly. I use this “baby” to comfort her which I use to mimic a Momma’s tongue to clean. She is really responding to that. Her belly rumbles. We have pads and blankets ready. Please pray she is able to give a healthy birth and the babies are also healthy!!! 🙏🏼😻🙏🏼😻🙏🏼
Ok. Mama Sass is back to “nesting” and seems to not be in labor yet. What a rollercoaster. Prayers please that she has a healthy birth and that we are able to assist in any we are needed.
Our rescue feral cat who is pregnant says “Hello” when she wants something. We are officially her slaves. lol. She is due in two weeks. Please send us prayers for her and the babies to be healthy. @the_riley_zoo #catsofinstagram #pregnantbelly #fostercat #kittens
