the Mythbuster Kittens!
Mythbuster Kittens

Mama is Kari. The tabby is Grant. The cream-colored is Adam. The kitten with the dark splotches on the head is Tory, orange splotches is Jamie.

Okay, and another today: Blind cat rescue and sanctuary.


Okay, new kitten cam, haven't been watching it for long:
Amanda's Babies

And a picture!

7 kittens one is adopted by the mom, she had 6.

The Chessie Fosters!

Can't bloody well get a screen shot with this poo poo netbook!

Update: Although this is over, the mother of this set of kittens died while being spayed. She was necropsied and it turned out that she had huge tumors caused by lymphoma. She did the best a mother could do and lived long enough to see her babies get adopted. Rip Fairlie. :(



Feb 28th 2013, The Cosmo Kittens! With Foster John!

Laika (mom), Valentina (torti girl), Yuri (orange boy), Boris, and Pavel (both boys)
Laika was found on a front porch pregnant and abandoned. A kind lady rescued her and brought Laika into her home where she gave birth on Valentine's Day, 2013.




Foster John Bartlett got an award!Well deserved, honestly.

Foster John has a new family as of January 7th 2013!

"John and the Critter Room of Spice Kittens fame is probably going to go live in a few hours or morning, with a nice new higher-quality webcam. He's letting the new mother settle in. "She's currently hugging a sleeping kitten so things look good"

The mother is called Ripley and the kittens are Bishop, Newt, Parker, Dallas and Ash. They've come to him older than the last few litters, about a month old now."

Thanks MikeJF!





Livestream is really good, you can rewind back and see what has gone on for I think 12 hours, it might be 24. The chat on the side and comments below will usually mention any interesting stuff that has happened in the past day or so.

I have noticed that the chat is auto changing some chats into Yoda speak. Odd.

Here's the faq for the stream.



These kittens have a castle!



Castle under attack!

They also have disco parties! (Next one is on Thursday Jan 3rd at 7:30 eastern)

Shakespeare’s kittens!

Direct link to the rescue organization.

This is pretty much the faq right off the Youtube page, but I figure we need a new kitten cam to watch. Unfortunately it isn’t a Livestream feed, such as the Critter Cam. That service seems to be the best one, but I guess they make do.

Dec 12 2012 unfortunately had one of the kittens die from complications. He had birth defects that just couldn’t be overcome.

The Litter Has Names!!!
Mom's name is now Lumi (Finnish for snow).
For the babies the Shakespeare theme won the vote.
Snug (little white one who may or may not be a girl),
Hamlet/Hammy (bigger fluffy white one),
Mercutio/Merc (white with mohawk),
Samson (bigger black one)
and Othello (smaller black one).

Q: How old are the kittens?
A: The kittens were born on Monday, November 12, 2012.

Q: Where did these rescue kittens come from?
A: A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue:
http://www.asecondchancerescue.org
For more info and pics of the kittens visit:
http://www.kittenrescues.org

Q: Where were these kittens rescued from?
A: They were rescued from the Miami-Dade Animal Care and Control, a county operated shelter.

Q: Why is the mother so skinny?
A: The mother cat was just recently rescued from the shelter, commonly known as "the pound" where she and her babies were facing euthanasia. Mom was a stray who was undernourished and fending for herself, but she is eating well now and will gain weight quickly.

Q: What are their genders?
A: Finding out soon! Sometimes it's difficult to tell at such a young age.

Q: What are the kittens' names?
A: They don't have names yet.

Q: Can I adopt one of them?
A: YES!!! These kittens will be ready to be adopted out at 8 weeks old. Go to http://www.asecondchancerescue.org for more info!

Q: Is there a vet to keep an eye on the kittens?
A: The kittens are under the constant supervision of trained professionals and a large network of fosters and rescues. We do not recommend that others support a litter of newborn kittens without proper training, access to a qualified veterinarian, experienced professional guidance, and veterinary knowledge.

Q: Where are the kittens?
A: In a loving home in Delray Beach, Florida, under the constant care of responsible, professional fosters.

Q: Why don't the kittens move? Are they okay?
A: Kittens spend most of their time eating and sleeping for the first few weeks.

Q: Why do the fosters keep picking up the kittens and taking them out of the tent?
A: The kittens need to be handled regularly to familiarize them with humans. This helps their general disposition, and is very important to insure a healthy relationship toward people.

Q: What if something goes wrong and a kitten gets sick?
A: The kittens, like many rescues, are from animal shelters and small kittens are very susceptible to colds and viruses. Most kittens from shelters do come with some exposure to kitten colds, and it is part of the rescue process to nurse them back to help. A couple of the kittens have minor eye infections and are being treated by a vet, but for them most part they seem healthy and strong. The fosters are very experienced in raising and caring for cats and kittens, and can accurately address most health issues. Local veterinarians and other support from the rescue group are available 24/7 if an occurrence should arise where one would be necessary. They will go through two veterinary check-ups, will be spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV before going to their forever homes. Foster parents use the veterinarians in their rescue network and the rescue covers all costs associated with their care.

Q: What is The Pet Collective?
A: The best YouTube pet and animal channel on the internet!!! Subscribe so we can bring you more awesome animal feeds! :)

Q. What is A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue?
A: An all-foster based rescue group dedicated to saving the lives of pregnant and nursing dog and cat mothers and their offspring. A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization located in Royal Palm Beach, FL

ANIMAL PLANET'S KITTEN CAM

These guys are getting big!

"Washington Animal Rescue League was founded in 1914 and is the oldest shelter in the Washington, D.C. area. The mission of the Washington Animal Rescue League is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals who have nowhere else to go. The shelter is committed to strengthening and preserving the human-animal bond by supporting animals in their homes through affordable veterinary care, community outreach, and education. If you're so inclined, find out how you can help."

PETS ALIVE KITTEN CAM

These guys are big! But when they are active they really like to play

Not sure where these ones are.

FORSTER DAD JOHN AKA THE CRITTER ROOM (on facebook)

This guy! He does an excellent job fostering kittens.

This is the feed that the Scientist and Spice Kittens were from. Here is the thread from the Spice Kittens.

THE SEVEN KITTENS

These little guys (and girls) were what I watched while I was totally laid up with my broken leg.

The kittens are long gone, but there are recorded vids up there of them.

Friends of Felines Rescue Center 24/7 Kitty Cam.

Kitten foie gras

These are all bigger cats, but they have a lot of room to run around in.

There are people walking through here all the time, the cats are running around all over the place when they aren't sleeping. It's pretty drat cool.

"Friends of Felines' Rescue Center is a volunteer staffed non-profit, no-kill, cage free feline care facility located in Defiance, Ohio."

Cat Haven (they are in Australia, so they are in the future!

These cats have a really nice play area, lots of toys, lots of space

Here's their website

Pictures later, seems like their camera is in a an outside area with not much light.

Second Chance

These little kittens seem to be almost ready to go to their homes, but they are cute! And they have a large area to run around in.

This is from a bookmark of mine that used to be the Seven Kittens.

Sweet! Thanks for adding it to the OP :) Me and a friend set this cam up last year as a sort of silly project at the ISP we work at, but the Cat Haven guys loved the idea. We had some huge viewer numbers initially (it went mini-viral, as in we made australian news only), and just recently they showed us their adoption stats which were noticeably higher since it started. Feels good man.

It streams 24/7 since put a roof on the enclosure so the kittens can stay in there all the time, but it's outdoors so it's pitch black at night. I have just shown the Cat Haven guys the disco party idea and they are loving excited. Outdoor kitten rave in the near future .. stay tuned.
