Hey there cat enthusiasts! We have a special smol treat for you today in the form of wholesome kitten pictures shared by a hooman working at a shelter.

Working as a shelter vet is both rewarding and challenging, as you have many cute critters to care for, but not always enough time. It's a nice wholesome feeling when you know you're making a big difference in adorable animals' lives. This shelter vet tech took to Reddit to share some scrumptiously smol pictures of cute kittens who had just been born. They were practically bald, which is both sweet and amusing. We're so thankful to be blessed enough to have scrolled through the heartwarming photos. Plus, the comments from fellow cat lovers were fun to read.

So now it's your turn! Enjoy this dose of cuteness as you take a break from work, and then check out these ferociously feisty felines who have quite the funny bone.

I'm very glad they're OK 54 Reply Share MegaNymphia OP. 5 hr. ago Smol Criminal Warden because I said goodnight to them before I left work for the day. and since I never phrase a situation as serious as eut. cia as "saying goodnight" or think it's appropriate to post online in a laid back way, it never crossed my mind. so maybe I should delete it and repost. idk ↑ 66 Reply Share

I am part of the management team for the main hospital within our shelter but like to come see the kiddos when I can and havent handled anyone too contagious. but for real it's a full time job, we do also a get a lot of "I found them and wanted to help but now I am in over my head" surrenders. and i respect the hell out of those people for recognizing how much constant care these guys need. and if your cat has an unexpected litter there is always the chance they could
