A Josie Makes Emergency Production

Operation: No More Kittens

Five cats. Three rehomed. Two snips remain.

A stray mama showed up. She had four babies. I became an unpaid cat midwife. Several months later, the babies have become teenagers and we have encountered a small biological problem.

We were livin' our lives, chillin' out maxing relaxing all cool, Pixel and Stardust and fam were all vibing.

Unfortunately, my CAT LADY VIBES must've been strong because we started making friends with some of the Island Cats.

01 / MAMA

A stray appears.

Feeding and petting Mama Kitty

Cream-point. Pregnant. In need of somewhere safe. Obviously this ended normally and without consequences.

Toby, a sandy orange tabby

There are lots of free livin' cats on the Island. Toby is one of the ones that needs to take a paternity test...

However, word on the street is, the baby daddy is a Big, Black Beefcake runnin the upper streets...named El Chapo.

He has since adopted a local family and has had his seedfactory removed, so this might very well be El Chapo's last living batch of kittens.

02 / CONSEQUENCES

Surprise! Babies.

Four of them. Three tiny black voids and one cream-colored copy-paste situation.

03 / ME, APPARENTLY

I become a cat midwife.

Birth assistance. Mama care. Baby care. Socialization. Photos. Laundry. So much laundry.

They started extremely small.

From freshly manufactured beans to fully operational household criminals.

PUBERTY.

Unfortunately, the potatoes developed genitals.

They are adorable. They are siblings. They do not care. Current best estimate: three females and two males total. Everyone needs to be fixed before nature makes this situation exponentially stupider.

🎉 BREAKING MEWS 🎉

THREE VOIDS HAVE LEFT THE BUILDING.

3 black kitties in homes

All three black kittens have found homes! Two already have spay/neuter appointments scheduled with their new family. Mama and her cream-colored mini-me are still here, awaiting their turn.

Meet the Suspects

Five suspects. Three released into custody.

⚠ INTACT — THREAT TO SOCIETY

Mama

Retired CEO, Kitten Production Division

Mama kitty, a sweet and shy neighborhood cat, began visiting me more and more.

As we became friends (with the help of kitty treats), she trusted me with scratches and belly rubs.

I borrowed a kitty house and put it outside for her with fresh, soft blankets. She moved in right away.

May 28th, I came home to find the teenage neighbor fretting because Mama Kitty had had her kittens on the lower balcony roof and then carried them one by one, down the stairs and up the other stairs to get to her Fully Furnished CatBox Apartment.

Unfortunately, 2 white (Siamese) kitties were lost in the birth/transfer process. 3 black kitties and 1 white kitty remained.

It was chilly, the babies were tiny, and Mama was tired. So, while all were safe in their KittyApartment, I moved them all inside, segregating them from my existing Kitty Crew.

Before I knew it, I was providing daily midwife duties, enriching Mama's kibble with tuna, salmon, and chicken. Cleaning bedding. Cleaning crusty bits.

$0 of $300
FUND THE SNIP

$300 is a preliminary fundraising target for spay/neuter surgeries and veterinary checkups, not a confirmed veterinary quote. I'm pursuing HAVA and other local low-cost spay/neuter options. The goal will be adjusted when actual costs and assistance are confirmed.

What if we raise more than we need? Any surplus will be directed toward additional community cat spay/neuter efforts — either through a donation to HAVA or by helping me safely trap and arrange sterilization for more neighborhood cats. I'll document where the money goes.

🦁 October 26, 2026 // Mission Status Report

BREAKING NEWS: Clinic prepared for lions. Not my cats.

I've started trying to book Mama and Mini-Me's spay/neuter appointments! Northwest Spay & Neuter Center is currently booked for the next three weeks, but new appointments open daily. The hunt continues.

Meanwhile, their booking form offers separate options for male and female LIONS.

I have questions. So many questions. 🦁💀

Mission Log

Receipts, progress & cat bureaucracy.

This section gets updated as things actually happen: assistance applications, appointments, surgeries, expenses, and increasingly sterilized cats.

MAY 2026
The situation begins.

Mama arrives. Four kittens subsequently enter the chat.

SUMMER
Foster era.

Mama and babies housed, fed, socialized, photographed approximately eleven billion times, and generally turned into adoptable little weirdos.

OCT 2026
Operation: No More Kittens begins.

Contacting HAVA/local resources, confirming sexes, costs, and surgery options. Updates incoming.

The Actual Goal

Fixed. Healthy. Adopted. Done making cats.

The finish line isn't just surgery. It's getting Mama and the kittens safely fixed, healthy, and into good permanent homes — where their future hobbies can include yelling at birds and knocking cups off counters instead of producing additional cats.
