? The Bunny Kitty Rescue Story and the End of the Kitty Bomb ?


Okay, let me tell you the Bunny Kitty rescue story � a chaotic, slightly stinky, but ultimately heartwarming tale of compassion, survival, and the war I�ve officially declared on the Great Cat Explosion of 2025.
You may already know we�ve taken in two stray cats in the past year � they�re now living the good life indoors, spayed, and fully enrolled in “Litter Box 101.” Progress. But there�s a third feline with a very different story. She�s a mystery. Wears a collar, but no one claims her. And if she is owned, I have some questions � mainly, why has she been outside, pregnant, starving, and freezing her whiskers off all winter?

? When a Pregnant Stray Cat Showed Up Again…

This wasn�t the first time we�d seen her. She�d been around, but always skittish, always round. This poor girl has had who knows how many litters outdoors, and as far as I know, none have made it. That�s just the reality for pregnant stray cats trying to survive outside.
Hawks and owls don�t care that she has a collar. Cold doesn�t care that someone might feed her now and then. It�s brutal out there.

? Why We Call Her Bunny Kitty (It�s a Whole Thing)

One day, Tara comes flying into the house yelling, �There�s a pet bunny under the neighbor�s car, and you need to go catch it!�
Which� okay, not the weirdest thing for us. I have actually caught a pet bunny before. In that exact spot.
But nope � this time it wasn�t a bunny. It was Bunny Kitty. Fluffy, crouched down, adorable, and very, very pregnant. Again.

For months, I�d been feeding her. Talking to her. Slowly building trust. It took six months before I could touch her.
But she got friendlier. And rounder. And when I realized I was staring down another blizzard pregnancy situation � I made the call.
I let her in.

? The Moment I Let Bunny Kitty In

Now, Bunny Kitty didn�t know what a litter box was. She looked at me like, �You want me to potty in a plastic box? With gravel? Why would I do that?�
So we compromised.
She picked a carrier to curl up in. I moved it to the back bathroom, where it was warm and quiet. She settled in. And then� she gave birth.

Bunny Kitty had five perfect little fur dumplings. Even though she lets me peek, I�m respecting her space.
Soon, I know I�ll be overwhelmed by kittens. Again. I�ve �unwilded� so many cats for them to be such untamable wildcats. But still � she�s safe. She�s fed. And now, her babies have a real chance.

When they�re old enough, we�ll find them good homes. One might stay � we have a thing for strays with names like Porch Kitty and Smelly Cat (don�t ask).
As for Bunny Kitty? If she masters the litter box and seems happy, she can stay. If not, she�ll be fixed and returned outside � to a heated shelter, full food bowl, and exactly zero more pregnancies.

Look, I get it � some folks think, �Just smush the kittens before they�re born. There are already too many.�
And I get the logic. But my heart? It doesn�t work that way.
These kittens didn�t ask to be born. They deserve a shot. But this is the last time. No more stray cat explosions. No more �oops� litters.
The plague of endless kittens stops here � with food, love, warmth, and a quick snip-snip.

? What�s Next for Bunny Kitty and the Babies?

When they�re ready, they�ll be adopted out to loving homes. One may join our chaos squad. Bunny Kitty might stay if she wants to.
And if she doesn�t? She�ll return to the cold � but fed, safe, and fixed.
Every free meal from us means she doesn�t have to catch something she shouldn�t. And that counts.

? Let�s Normalize Rescuing and Fixing Outdoor Cats
Because it matters. Because it works. Because every one of these stories � even the messy, smelly, exhausting ones � can make a difference.
Let�s normalize:
? Fixing outdoor cats � even the �friendly� ones with collars
? Bringing in pregnant strays when we can
? Adopting instead of buying
? Supporting sanctuaries doing the hard work every day
This is just one cat rescue story. But it�s hers. And now, it�s ours.

? In the meantime…
Spay and neuter your pets.
Save a life � or ten � or millions.
Fix one today, save millions tomorrow.
