Aww, cuties! My wife and I just took a pregnant stray in a month ago and she wound up delivering a few days later. Here they were the other day

The black one on top is the runt, we're calling her nugget, the white one is already spoken for and her owner named her Luna, the black one on the bottom is named tater cause he's the chubbiest lol

Kittens: WE ARE LOST AND SCARED IN A BIG SCARY WORLD!!! HISSSSS!!!!!!

Cats: Come snuggle with me, cat brother! We own this house, and this human slave who harvests our poop for some reason......but it doesn't matter. We run the show! Now let us snuggle and sleep for 19 hours a day.

It feels like every other day I see a post of someone finding lost kittens outside somewhere. How? How does that even happen? I never see tiny lost fluffballs outside! Only ever bigger fluffballs who act like they own the place...

My last kitty came up on my porch outta nowhere and meowed at me till I loved her. That neighborhood had a feral cat thing going on though.

The last time I had kittens their mom (a neighborhood stray) stashed them under my car. Getting the sharp, squirming lil tykes out of the engine block in Texas summer heat was a memorable experience.

It is rare! These rescues came to us through a friend of a friend in the southern USA (Los Angeles, i think), and wended their way over here in BC Canada. I think in warmer climates you'll see it more.

Does your area have catch, spat/neuter, and release programs for strays?

Usually you get surprise kittens when either someone's unfixed animal gets out and gets pregnant/gets another cat pregnant, or when kittens are dumped because some people aren't good, or unfixed strays get pregnant and have babies.

Some areas may have predators that would deter cats (humans, coyotes, large snakes, alligators, crocodiles, puma/mountain lions etc). Some areas aren't hospitable (weather wise) the strays.
