Today's Cuteness Overload

So TinyKittens Rescue is a no-kill cat shelter in Fort Langley, British Columbia. One of the shelter's specialties is supporting a population of feral cats that live in the surrounding forest. Apart from setting up a feeding station for these cats, the shelter does a great deal of TNR (trap, neuter, and return). Feral cats that can be "turned" (or domesticated) or who have medical issues will usually stay with the shelter or be adopted.
       TinyKittens recently trapped three pregnant ferals and named them Rula, Ramona, and Chloe. Rula is extremely suspicious of people.  Ramona and Chloe seem quite happy to be around humans. On April 17, Ramona gave birth to five kittens, one of whom (The Little Prince) unfortunately passed away within a day. On April 19, Rula gave birth to three babies. Chloe, who was looking like she'd swallowed a basketball, gave birth to five babies in the wee hours of this morning; four of them are healthy, but one has a cleft palate and requires tube feeding.
       Amazingly, Chloe and Ramona bonded shortly before Chloe gave birth. Chloe moved in with Ramona and her kittens and began helping her with grooming them. In return, Ramona began hugging Chloe and massaging her tummy. Ramona comforted Chloe as she gave birth and helped deliver her babies. She ate the amniotic sacs of some of them and nursed them as Chloe focused on delivering.
       Now the two of them share a nest and nine kittens in a love fest of purrs and cuddles. They can frequently be seen on live feed, snuggling together around their babies in the caternity ward. The kittens nurse from both mothers.
       Here are videos of Chloe giving birth while Ramona acts as her doula (warning: 'might be a little graphic for the squeamish):
