🩶Meet Stuart: My newest Kitten Koop foster who appeared when I least expected. He looks much better now, but he was thin, dirty, and covered in fleas.
Near the end of my break from fostering, my soul cat passed away. The way Stuart came into our lives seems fated, so he will either become a part of my family or begin his search for a forever home once fully vetted. I'll keep you all updated!
🦇Bat, one of my porch friends, has been TNR'd. She's one of five cats that have visited my porch since I TNR'd Bug. They typically only show up once or twice, and almost never when food is out, and I started to feel like I'd never get to trap-train anyone else! It feels good to have finally trapped one of Bug's friends. And I'm sure there are more...
Ps. The vet said Bat was in heat and could be less than a year old, so I think she was spayed just in time!
❤️🩹 "One Eye" is an older community cat with glaucoma/trauma and an old broken jaw who had 3 litters this year, totaling in 10 surviving kittens. If I hadn't trapped her, she would've given birth to 6 more. No cat, and especially not a cat in her condition, should ever have to go through that if a vet can help you prevent it.
One Eye is an example of just how fast a cat colony can grow. In only one year, she carried more than 16 kittens in her little body. Spaying her earlier would've been best, but sometimes these kitties are hard to catch. I'm so glad her caregiver asked for help!
Now One Eye has been through the TNR program.💕 She's been spayed, ear-tipped, vaccinated, dewormed, tested, and flea treated. I just returned her to her caretaker, who has a sweet relationship with this spicy kitty. She's set up a small indoor enclosure for One Eye so she can have extra time to recover.❤️🩹
I wish you all the love and light, missy. You will never, ever, ever, have to have kittens again. And bless her caretaker's heart — it's not every day I meet someone who wants my help and also wants to be a part of the solution.🫶
After being TNR'd, this little man got the *best* surprise. He has a forever home! He's going to live on a farm and will have another cat to play with. Plus, he won't ever contribute to the outdoor kitty population.👏 Happy life, sweet floof!
We did it!! With the help of my husband and my sister-in-law, I was able to trap every single cat in this colony! Gorgeous G2 and his 13 colony mates will never have to reproduce again and will never need to wander in search of food — they have the most kind-hearted caretakers in the world, and I'm not just saying that.
I have a couple more potential TNR sites in the works, so please stay tuned! I know I'm bound to find kittens along the way, but I'd love to prevent them instead.🫶
🪲This is Bug: The likely father of some of Blankie's kittens! Bug appeared on my porch a couple weeks ago, spraying and looking for a "friend." I decided to start feeding him so I could TNR him and prevent more kittens! I've since learned that he's not microchipped and isn't too wary of humans, but he clearly prefers his outdoor life. Now that he's neutered, vaccinated, and ear-tipped, he's free to go!
Come back anytime, Bug! You'll have a snack waiting for you every night if you want it.💕
This big guy was pretty scary.👻 Sam is one of the males at the big colony I'm working on, and he just graduated from TNR after *lunging* at me through the trap and the divider one too many times. Feeding cats like him after surgery is NOT my favorite.🥴
Mad respect for you, Sam! I'm sorry you had to deal with me the past couple days, but now you get to experience the beauty of TNR — you can live your outdoor life as far away from humans as you please.🫶
Ps. Don't worry, he has a nice dark trap cover! This was the only way he'd let me snap a clear picture of him and his new ear tip, which is something I do for all my TNR kitties.
Happy return day, George! That ear tip looks good on you! George is half of a set of twin gray kitties, just under a year old. I haven't trapped his twin yet, but as far as anyone knows, neither of them have had to reproduce yet. And now George never will.😘 Hopefully I can take his brother/sister to the clinic next week!
I finally caught mister Rebel! Until he walked under my drop trap, he was the only cat in this entire colony that I hadn't seen before. The caregiver thinks he's one of Mama Cat's original kittens, so he's been around quite a while. His days of breeding and fighting are officially behind him thanks to TNR!
Thanks for finally taking the bait, big boy. 11 down, 3 to go!
🎯🪤Target acquired!! Here she is: The mama cat I've been trying to trap since October!
She's the kitty who started the big cat colony I've been working on. We know she's had litter after litter for at least four years. Although not many of her kittens ever made it to their first birthday, enough survived to create a dozen+ colony.❤️🩹
Now, that's all in the past. She's been TNR'd and is about to be returned to her gorgeous outdoor home. I'm so happy for her! No more kittens for you, baby girl.
🥂☘️adopted!!! After suddenly appearing on my porch, raising four kittens, and re-learning how to be a kitten herself, Blankie finally has a home of her own. Her new life is sure to be filled with kisses, big windows, and wondrous bathroom sinks. She might even get to keep her silly name!
You picked the right porch and the right adopters, little honey. Love you always.💕
💫💋Blankie trained me to pet her when she ever-so-gently *chomps* on my wrist. I love this little baby cat.
Blankie is my 1yo foster cat who's in search of a forever home! If you want to meet this young tortie gal and learn all about her seriously perfect personality, visit my website or send me a message.🫶
🎉adopted! Corduroy and his new mom have formed the cutest little family.🧡 I know they'll bring so much joy to each other's lives as they continue to bond! So happy for you, Mr. Roy.🫶
🎉adopted together!! Bobbinet and Poplin are off to enjoy their forever home. Both kittens managed to find their *exact* human personality twins!🤭 Bobbi, I'm so proud of you for hurling yourself into your new mama's arms, convincing them to adopt you with your sister.😉 Poppi, I'm perhaps the most proud of you for kicking Swimmer Syndrome's butt! You survived, you thrived, you become my bestie, and you found your perfect humans. Love you both, always!💕
🎉adopted! Gingham graduated in the arms of one of her many family members.🖤 She's headed home to a cat sister and a crew of kiddos who already love her! And I hear her new home is totally catified.😍 G, you struck gold! I'm so happy for you, girly!
👏Spay/neuter day is finally here! This may be the last sibling photo for the Swatches, because they all get adopted this week.🥹 They're so close to living the good life in their forever homes! Fingers crossed for speedy and uneventful recoveries.💕
3 months old 👉 Newborns! I hope this puts into perspective how *tiny* Blankie is and how much she helped all her babies grow.❤️🩹 Luckily, this is the healthiest group of fosters I've ever had, and Blankie will never have to go through this again. The Swatches will all get adopted this week, and then I can finally show Blankie what it's like to be a carefree, indoor princess.🫶
🎉finally🎉adopted!🎉 After losing his owner, moving across the country, seeing four different veterinarians, and waiting 252 days in foster care, Woody has the honor of being my rescue's 20th adoption.💕🫶 He gets to be the center of his person's world, live in a home of his own, and keep his original name! I can't count the number of happy and "I'll miss you" tears I've shed this weekend.
Happy graduation, my lil hunkamunk. My heart aches for the best reasons. Love you always.🫶
🌞"Whenever you're ready to let him go, I'll be there." Those words solidified the incredible truth that Woody found the perfect human. Tomorrow is the big day, y'all.💕

Y'all.🥹 He's waited so long for this...
Woody finally met the love of his new life. We won't finalize his adoption until he finishes a new round of antibiotics, but for now, I wanted you all to know that he has amazing things coming his way. I'll share more soon!
🥹🥂ADOPTED and in the arms of the most wonderful human. This pair is the definition of a perfect match and of what makes saying goodbye *so* worth it.
Oh, Nutmeg.🤍 Rescuing you, fostering you, and parting ways with you has been quite a challenging and rewarding experience. I'll always remember you as the foster who decided she owned my entire house and as the softest kitten I've ever met. You are my soul cat's twin, so I can say with confidence that your new family of pups and humans is incredibly lucky to have you.
The best things in life truly are worth waiting for.🤍
🎉Gingham was pre-adopted by the perfect family!! After she's spayed, she'll have two kiddos and an adult cat to bond with for life.🖤 It was meant to be, G! I'm so happy for you!
🎉Corduroy has been pre-adopted! Mr. Roy's ball-less and flawless future (aka. being the utmost center of his future mom's world) is nothing but bright!🧸 It's no surprise that you stole her heart, big bubba. Now, let's get you neutered!
🎉pre-adopted together! Poplin and Bobbinet can't wait to bless their future home with their yin and yang personalities. Poplin's ready to bring the cuddly chill vibes, and I know Bobbinet will bring the ✨party✨! Great job, girlies! The countdown until spay day begins!
💔her adopter just broke the contract and backed out of the adoption. I'm so sorry, Gingham. This has never happened in my years of rescuing and fostering. Here's hoping she finds a better fit with the other adopters in line.❤️🩹

🎉Gingham has been pre-adopted!!! Her future family expected to fall in love with someone else, but Gingham marched right up to their young daughter and sat at her feet, just waiting to be held in the arms of this other tiny creature. The pair performed their sit-and-scoop routine throughout the meeting.🖤 As if this immediate bond wasn't perfect enough, Gingham has a young cat brother and a cozy catio waiting for her!
I love stories like this — just like the stories of my other Ohio fosters, when the first adopters suddenly realize that they're in love with a kitten they originally overlooked. So cheers to you, Gingham girl!🥂 You're one step closer to your forever home!

❤️🩹A newborn kitten with Swimmer Syndrome grows up!💪 Thanks to Kitten Lady's online resources and a can-do attitude, Poplin overcame this congenital challenge. After just a couple weeks of tape and exercises, she can do it all! Walk, run, climb, play — you name it. Kittens like Poplin are often euthanized or are unable to survive outside. But she and I worked hard so she could thrive.💕 Honestly, after the first time I taped her legs, it felt like Poplin did all the work! Her tiny body is so remarkably malleable and resilient.💪I'm so proud of you, Poplin! Thank you for teaching me something new for my kitten rescue repertoire. #catrescuer #tinybutmighty #swimmersyndrome #specialneedskitten #fosterkitten #newbornkitten
With training, fundraising, and a couple traps, anyone can do TNR! Trap-neuter-return is *the most* effective way to help kittens. By spaying and neutering outdoor cats, you can prevent more litters of kittens and focus on the ones who are already waiting for their forever homes.❤️🩹🏷️#trapneuterreturn #tnr #tnrsaveslives #eartip #spayandneuter #ifyoufeedthemfixthem #feralcats #catcolony #gettrappinbeforekittenshappen
