Good morning, friends and families! We hope you are doing well on this sunny and warm Wednesday. Thank you for joining us!
Quick Recap: This livestream is of our two litters of kittens, joined by their two moms and Auntie Pandora (sister to mama cats). Mama Mona and Mama Cutie Pie brought their litters together during labor. The litters have never been apart. At about 12 days old, they welcomed their sister-cat Pandora into the pool to help take care of the kittens, and they've been one big happy family ever since.
7/10 Update: The kittens are becoming "big" kittens! They are much more mobile and becoming less shaky on their feet. I swapped out the little pool for the big pool and today the mama cats wanted us to join them! So we began sitting in the pool with them and playing with the kittens, they love crawling into our laps to hang out! It was as if we made their nest human-sized, and Mona and Cutie Pie were eager for us to join. The kittens all interact with each other, paw and meow at one another. They will go up to one of their moms and paw at them, roll onto their backs and begin wrestling them. We are enjoying them so much and we're really looking forward to the coming weeks with them! They are only 16 days old today.
Kitten Names so far:
Blue collar - Marshmallow
Purple collar - Grape
Aqua collar - Karma
gray collar, hedgehog lookalike - Sonic
lilac collar - Cookie
no collar, mostly orange - Cheeto
We plan to keep about half the litter and will home the remaining kittens. Any remaining kittens will be welcomed into the fold at the RBC farm. We are only asking for a very nominal donation ($250) to cover the cost of food, vet checks, vaccinations, microchips, etc. To inquire about one of our kittens, please send us a message at 815-883-1134 with a short introduction and what you are interested in. They'll be going home up to date on vaccines, vet checked, and microchipped. We are raising these kittens like we raise our ESA puppies - with lots of love and interaction, teaching them how to trust people and build healthy relationships. We prioritize our puppies' and kittens' emotional-social development to ensure healthy socialization and optimize the traits that make Emotional Support Animals so effective.
We gave Robin a due date of September 2nd. She and Macchiato are continuing to thoroughly enjoy each other's company. Missy is also going into heat now.

Welcome to the Red Barn Cavaliers family home! We specialize in raising Emotional Support Animals. This livestream is with our cats who recently had their (only) litters of kittens on 6/24/24. They were all born very healthy and at good weights. Both mamas are treating the two litters like one giant family, and have now welcomed Pandora as an honorary mama! They are doing a great job taking care of them.
We primarily raise Cavalier King Charles Spaniels with an emphasis on their emotional-social development. We raise our puppies for the distinct purpose of becoming ESAs. This breed's temperament is ripe for therapeutic bonding, and their ability to tune into their handler's emotional needs can't compare to any other breed. We are anticipating our next litter to be from Robin and Macchiato toward the end of August/early September. We livestream the deliveries of our litters, which you'll find in playlists.
