TinyKittens Society is a Canadian charity in Fort Langley, British Columbia, Canada, supporting feral cats. The organisation was established as a non-profit in 2015 by Shelly Roche. [1] [2] [3] It is associated with Langley Animal Protection Society, and often works with Mountain View Veterinary Hospital. [1] [2] [4] [5]
The society's volunteers trap, neuter and return (TNR) cats from the large colonies of feral cats in the area. [1] [2] [5] [6] Where possible, kittens and older cats are made available for adoption. [1] [2] [4] [7] [8]
TinyKittens runs a livestream showing 24-hour footage of the kittens and cats being cared for by the society. [1] [4] [7] [9] There is an associated chat space. [2] [4] The group received news coverage for rescuing Cassidy, a disabled cat found as a feral kitten without his back legs, and Mason, an older feral cat with kidney disease who enjoyed the company of kittens. [5] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]
In 2017 the charity supported kittens rescued from wildfires in Quesnel, and in 2021 rescued feral cats and lost pet cats during floods in the Fraser Valley. [16] [17]
In 2020, Roche said TinyKittens supports one to two hundred cats and kittens a year. [3] In 2020, she said that the group spays and neuters about 200 cats a year. [18] She noted that the charity does not have enough resources. [18]
Social media is important to the charity. [3] In 2019, the YouTube channel run by the organisation had 135,000 subscribers. [15] In 2020, the number of views of the channel averaged three million a month. [3] There were sixty volunteers working as moderators. [3]
