Conan & Her Six Kittens
Born February 28, 2026. Now in the care of Tiny Kitten Coven, San Diego.
Conan (Mama Cat)
Conan showed up on February 10, 2026. She was pregnant, cautious, and completely self-possessed. She trusted slowly—food first, then presence, then proximity. She gave birth to six kittens on February 28th and cared for them without any help from me. She is the reason this site exists.

I’m the accidental (grand)parent behind this account.
First and foremost, I’m NOT a rescue professional. I’m not a vet. I’m not even a cat person, technically—or I wasn’t, until February 10th, 2026, when Conan showed up out of no where.
I figured everything out in real time. This website exists because I couldn’t find documentation of what this actually looks like from someone who had no idea what they were doing. With my graphic and web design skills, I’m telling theirs (and my) story, a day and piece at a time.
If you’re here because a cat showed up and you feel alone in it, I’m happy to say you’re not. So do stay.
