APR 29, 2024: Feral mama Berkeley gave birth to four beautiful kittens! Mom and babies are doing great so far - yay! Scroll down for weight chart.

APR 21 2024: Feral mama-to-be Berkeley has eluded us for more than a year! We were FINALLY able to trap her using our remote-triggering robo-trap. She's pregnant, and will give birth for the last time in our care. Because she is feral, we will take a very specific approach to her pregnancy, labor, and raising her final litter of kittens in order to minimize her stress and maximize her + kittens well-being. If you see something that doesn't make sense, please ask our mods why we're doing it!

We livestream our rescued cats, 24 hours a day, uncensored, to raise awareness about the realities of cat overpopulation in a way that inspires compassion. Watching Berkeley give birth for the last time is a great way for parents and kids to experience the “miracle of birth” without letting their own pets give birth and further contributing to overpopulation.

    Mama is progressing and seems to enjoy the perks of human attention and treats! But she's still hand-shy. Funny how she clearly understands the difference between a scratcher or spoon and a hand.
  • Every time I see Mama Berkeley, I am blown away at how stunning she is. Her colouring and eyes are gorgeous.
    The kittens are precious pudgy potats. Such a fun age to watch them waddle and discover.
  • @solskenet0119
    Short wand-petting at 26:25 and then more at 29:50 . Long session from 34:55 onwards (with a short break). This is where she is really leaning into the pets. 😻🥰
  • @amandaf4720
    Amazing how relaxed she is compared to a few weeks ago! She doesn't seem at all worried about Shelley handling her babies and she definitely enjoys snacks. And the kittens are too cute for words. What a wonderful little family - I'm glad we have the opportunity to watch them.
  • Berkley is such a good mama, very protective of her littles. I'm amazed how far she has come since she has been at TK, her tolerance of hoomins getting near her babies is wonderful. 😻😻
  • @pengyfelix
    One of the boys seemed to be thinking, "Mom went spicy and threw paws. I best be behind her where it's safe."
  • @marymiller6637
    The kittens grow bigger and cuter every day! Berkeley has progressed so much since her arrival at TK. ❤❤❤
  • @rogertemple7193
    Great to see that Berkeley is kind of slowly calming down
    day by day and her kittens are getting bigger take care
    Berkeley and kittens.💞😺😸😹😻💞
  • @Muzikluvr724
    I love watching Shelly interact with all of them. So sweet. ❤
  • @SuzyEH
    So proud of you Mama. Even most of the growing wasn't as loud. She was even closing her eyes during chin scratches!
  • @sagewisdom09
    Those are the chonkiest kittens I’ve seen so far!
  • @jimwile9313
    Mama is getting used to the routine and used to you! What a good little mama! You are doing a great job with her!
  • @marygoodson4920

    Wonderful little family. Thanks to the TK family for helping take care of them. 😻😻

    Distract and scoop the kittens is a fantastic process. 😂
  • @CherylSan
    Some massive steps! Proud of her <3

    “You’re an effective communicator, and I’m here for it 😊” — Shelley at 44:50, just after she tried a different skritcher technique and Berkeley hissed and swatted.
