Once Upon a Kitten Rescue
Share
We have been fostering and rescuing animals since 2015. We registered our own 501(c)3 nonprofit (currently pending) in 2025!

We are always having to order lots of supplies. This was just today, not including the spay and neuter/testing/microchipping of 6 cats today. 😅 And every month we have vet bills and spay and neuter costs totaling at least $1000 or more across all the vets we use. So every dollar donated to our small rescue goes a long way. 🩷

We picked up 4 kittens today, which ended up being 2 different litters. At first we only knew of the older 3-week old kittens, but it turns out that kitten’s siblings all died a few weeks ago and there was only one left. But there was a second litter of newborns that were also found, which have swollen, infected, pus-filled eyes already. 😢 The homeowners don’t want any more cats born on their property, because the kittens die, and the adults all have flea allergies with thinned fur and it costs them a lot of money to feed all those cats. They are elderly and have been trying to trap the cats themselves to get them fixed, but have not been able to yet.
They said there are 6 feral stray cats which need to be fixed, and we have a plan in place with my friend who does TNR near that area to try and catch them tonight. We hope to reunite these newborn babies with mom if we can.
And i am also looking for help for an emaciated, injured opossum that was sleeping in the yard as well if anyone knows of a rehabber in the reseda area. The opossum basically lives in their yard and they don’t mind it there at all, but it looks like it needs help. 🙏🏼

This new family was rescued from an industrial area in LA 😢, we aren’t sure if mama is feral or just scared right now, but she seems really calm (just wants to escape) and not aggressive. 🥰 Babies are about 4 weeks old and super cute. 3 boys, gray tabby, flame point, and seal point, and 1 orange girl. 😍

This baby does have CH or some kind of neurological condition going on. But she’s fully functional as far as we can tell and seems totally fine. 🥰 We have consulted with a few of our vets and CH is the consensus for now, which is not a big deal. 😄 She is on clavamox, and just started eating on her own (with help) last night. Shes 5 weeks old. 🩷
The thing is…this family had a LOT of issues, and this baby is lucky to even be alive. She is strong and a fighter. She is the only surviving kitten from 18… 😢💔 8 had already passed away before we rescued them with their 2 young moms, and then one passed away shortly after. And then it seemed like every day another kitten was mysteriously crashing… it was honestly devastating for their foster mom who kept rushing them to the urgent care…just to lose another one for seemingly no reason at all. Healthy, bellies full, go from active and thriving, to struggling and dying the next minute. Their foster mom then decided to return them to me because she couldn’t take the heartache of losing any more kittens when there were just 2 left. 😢💔 Sadly we lost the other sister soon after, which was 2 weeks ago, but this little one has persevered. I hesitated to even post but I just can’t hold it in anymore, she is so precious and special and we love her very much.
The moms have always been healthy (yes we have tested them probably 6 times at least for panleuk, always negative), zero symptoms of anything from any of them. It’s really been the most bizarre thing. The only explanation we have been told is that they must have very bad genetics from all the inbreeding at the hoarding house they came from, and that the other babies likely had neurological issues or internal congenital defects that caused them not to thrive. We feel blessed that baby Miley is still with us. 🙏🏼🩷
