Hello friends, just providing an update on my stray Mommakitten and her 4 grey babies, they’ve now been alive for 100 days!

I’ve worked out that I need 23 lbs. of kitten kibble per month to feed this little family of 5…I made a graphic showing everything I need and I’ll put it in the photos. I have a few different wishlists going right now, a few each on Amazon and Walmart, but I’m trying to compile everything and get it sorted. The links in my bio here are usually up to date, just fyi.

I got a voucher from my county so I can get Mommakitten spayed, which is good because I’m pretty sure she’s going into heat right now. She’s been so rude to her babies the past few days…and I still have 1 unneutered male cat from the last litter…so I’ve been keeping them separated and they aren’t thrilled about it.

Oh well…we don’t need more kittens.

I just need a $20 deposit per appointment and I can take 2 cats at a time. Then spays cost a bit more than neuters so I expect to owe somewhere between $50-$100 to the vet. If you’d like to donate to that fund, the best place would be my PayPal pool link in my bio. Please don’t feel obligated!

Every kitten is doing great, by the way. Once they’re all fixed and vaccinated, they’ll be ready to find their forever homes.

Idk, I think he looks pretty mad. He’s not actually a Lykoi, he just kinda looks a bit wolf-like to me.
His momma was a stray, I brought her in about 24 hours before she started giving birth. She ended up with 4 healthy kittens, and 1 who sadly, didn’t make it.
His siblings are in the last few photos, and mommakitty in the last pic.

Hi friends, I’m back with another update on the stray Mommakitty and her kittens:

Everyone is doing well, the babies are crazy! They are running wild for hours every day, lol. Thanks so much to everyone from this community who has helped us out with supplies from our earlier posts.

I suffered an eye injury (not cat related. Also there’s a photo of my eye, it’s the last photo) and I couldn’t bend down very well for a few days. I still need to do a deep clean of my house. I don’t currently have a working vacuum, but we are getting there!

I am doing my best to clean up but my eye is still healing and it’s light sensitive and pressure sensitive. I’ve realized I need a few items so I made a Walmart wishlist if anyone wants to help.

The second to last photo is a digital drawing I did of my cat Griffin, just posted as a reminder that if you go to my ko-fi page you can commission a portrait of YOUR pet. There are links in my bio/on my page.

Thanks again!

Hey everyone,

Here’s an update on my stray Mommakitty who I had named Cricket, but I’m now just calling her Mommakitty again, because Cricket doesn’t actually fit her too well.

Her little dust bunnies are almost as big as she is now, you can see a pic of her and her little boy kitten in the window where they look like they’re about the same size.

All of your well-wishes and supply donations to help me care for these kittens has been so appreciated. I put a link to a Walmart wishlist here, if anyone feels like contributing some supplies. We have switched to a corn based litter because the kittens were having issues with their eyes…I think it was from the litter dust from our previous litter.

To the person who sent the scratching post, thank you! The kittens love it and it occupies them for solid hours out of each day…a big huge thank you!

Everyone is ready to be vaccinated and spayed/neutered now, if anyone wants to contribute to that fund, you can do that through the links in my bio on my page here.

Also, on Ko-Fi (whoyoucallinferal) I’ve opened my commissions if you’re interested in having me draw a digital portrait of your pet. I’m not a professional, but you can see some examples in the last two photos here. All the money I raise there will go toward vaccinating and neutering the rest of the crew.

Thanks for your time, friends!

I have a litter of 4 lovely kittens that came from a stray mommacat, basically a kitten herself. Amazingly, all of my many cats throughout my life have been black, white, and grey. I’ve never had a cat with stripes or any tabby pattern before. I’d just like to know how you all would classify these kittens…they all have some sort of pattern on them…none of them are solid.

I know it’s difficult to tell from the photos, but the lightest color (aside from white) on 3 of the kittens is a very light creamy orange. The kitten with the spotted belly has feet that are almost a pink or pastel coral color. I’ll answer any questions that might help to clarify the photos.

These kittens are about 5 weeks old, mommacat is only 6 lbs. teeny tiny. I don’t have the weights of the kittens but I think this is irrelevant because I’m not asking for anyone to identify the breed, just the coat patterns and colors!

I’ll number the kittens, hopefully that’ll make this a bit easier.

Thank you!

Hiii. We made it through the first month of life! It’s been a difficult journey so far, but I think we are finally in the clear, and everyone is doing ok.

Mommacat is named Cricket, and she’s tiny…she’s only about 6 lbs. and her eyes look a little goopy. I get nervous for her but I’m trying my best to keep her healthy and keep her nutrients up. A couple of the babies have crusty eyes, but I can’t afford to take them all to the vet just yet. I know kitten eyes are sensitive, so I’m watching them very carefully. I think they just have some eye discharge from being in the cat litter (it’s kitten safe, but there’s still dust).

The kittens are just about ready to wean, and mommacats patience is wearing thin lol. You can tell in some of the photos how annoyed she is. They are getting very active and are ready to play, but I can’t let them out yet because I don’t have a good way to keep them safely contained. I also don’t have any good toys or climbing towers for them, they’re currently loving the simplest of things, like cardboard boxes and baskets for climbing. I would love to provide them more.

I haven’t updated my ko-fi page or my Instagram lately, but I will do so shortly. The supply donations via my Amazon wishlist in the past have really been beyond helpful, so I’m going to post a link again and if anyone feels like donating some essentials to the kittens, I hope you can feel my gratitude! I’m not the best at expressing myself in writing, but your help really means the world to me. It’s thanks to the community of caregivers here that I’m able to care for these cats and kittens, so thank you…so much!

There’s also a pool fund on PayPal that will be used to pay for mommakitty Cricket and all 4 of her little dust bunnies to get the veterinary care they need…which is full vaccines, spay/neuter, and rabies vaccines. As much as I love having these little kittens around, I cannot keep them all…and I’m not going to adopt them out until they’ve been sterilized and vaccinated. The link to contribute can be found on my page, if you’re interested. If not, don’t worry!

I’m taking suggestions for names for the 3 kittens. The fluffy one is already named Berlioz (or Bear, for short), or at least that’s his name while he’s here at my house lol.
Still needing names are:

1. Grey tabby with white (male)

2. Grey tabby with short hair (male)

3. Grey/orange dilute tabby/torbie (female)

If you want to suggest some names!

I’ll post the wishlist link in a comment, thanks for your time…I hope you are all doing well!
