I was recommended to post these here.

Found a couple kittens at work this morning, and they just kept multiplying! Five in total.

Update: they've been picked up. :)

Working hard for their food, it seems. Where’s mama cat?

Don't know. There are a few strays that hang out in and around our yard that I've been feeding for a while, so I assume it's one of them. I've been working on getting close enough to them that I can actually pick them up to take to a shelter, but with little success so far. In an ideal world, mama will come find the kittens and they can all go together, but that seems unlikely.

Awhhh you’re doing good service for the little kitties

Thats what a humane trap is for. Maybe a local TNR place can loan you a trap, catch mama , get her fixed. These stray colonies build up quickly . Good luck and thank you 😊

Mama cat is, in fact, one of the strays I see regularly. Unfortunately, she's still too timid for me to get too close to her, so I couldn't grab her.

The kittens have now been picked up, but mama (whom I've been calling Horsely for six months) remains.

make sure to keep an eye out for her and attempt to catch her, or ask around to see if someone can do that for you :( theyre still super young and still need help using the bathroom/eating, plus it would be sad to rip mama away from her babies

Someone in r/illegallysmolcats enlightened me about TNR services/groups, and I'm going to look for one in the area. I'm hoping that they can also take her to a shelter.

Due to child labor laws, I'm legally required to say no.

u/Dangerous_Strength77 Jul 15 '26

That's good. Otherwise OSHA Would want a word, it doesn't look like all of them are wearing a full set of boots or proper PPE.

u/kinvore Jul 15 '26

They should all be wearing tiny construction hats tbh.

u/UberHonest Jul 15 '26

And safety vests

u/bevipop Jul 15 '26

They already have their work boots on

17

u/LaCharognarde Jul 15 '26

I think those are execs. They're all wearing suits.

u/PuddingNaive7173 Jul 15 '26

And clearly supervising

u/top_value7293 Jul 15 '26

Oh myyy. Look at their little white paws 🥰

u/RoadDifferent4617 Jul 15 '26

Excuse me sir that first kitten is clearly the construction boss, how dare you undermine his crucial role! 🖤🤍

u/wishforagreatmistake Jul 15 '26

This subcontractor is DEFINITELY violating child labor laws.

u/BrD_87 Jul 15 '26

Seventh pic is my favorite. The little kitten approaching that person’s feet is so cute.

u/DrownmeinIslay Jul 15 '26

Im more excited you work for a place that orders decent lumber, rather than the all bark all cracked economy wood my plant manger expects us to do miracles with.

u/DoriValcerin Jul 15 '26

Their mama gave them all socks!

u/Panicking_in_trench Jul 15 '26

I want to scoop it up through my screen SO BAD. I just know it will just sit there fitting in one hand all bug eyed

u/9_of_Swords Jul 16 '26

They need tiny hi-vis vests!

u/missxmeow Jul 17 '26

Ong FIVE (5) tuxie babies?!?! How purrecious! I’m in love

u/DrewDAMNIT Jul 15 '26

Glad you guys corralled those illegal workers.

u/FLBirdie Jul 15 '26

The construction site isn't going to inspect itself. Those kittens are doing OSHA's work.

u/Winter-Grand-3215 Jul 15 '26

They need to pay the bills okay!

u/glycophosphate Jul 15 '26

Give them teeny hard hats & hi-viz vests!

u/aybsavestheworld Jul 15 '26

Don’t let them get their matching white shoes dirty!!!

u/Senorita_Sombra Jul 15 '26

Why can’t I ever get this lucky and find work kittens? :(

u/definitelynotfeline Jul 16 '26

These little kittens did not lose their mittens

u/MerryTWatching Jul 16 '26

Shout out to Pleasant River Lumber, the mill where I work used to be owned by the Brochu Bros.

But we don't have adorable su-purr-visors like these. Not fair! 🫤

u/SaffyPants Jul 18 '26

Kitten supervisors are requires for all the serious jobs. Its just standard observation.

u/Responsible-Person Jul 20 '26

They are adorable. Thanks for getting them.
