Rescued Cats
Cookies and Cream
The first two rescues on the channel, and may be the most impactful. (Rescued 2020.)
Milkshake's Kittens
In which Apo took Milkshake to a fellow rescue prior to a Tropical Storm hitting. Sadly, Milkshake being sick, and a young mother led to a high fatality of her kittens, with only two survivors. Apo would coincidentally volunteer with the rescue kittens, where the kitten Squeaky would remind him so much of Milkshake he reached out to the rescue and learn the kitten he was volunteering with where Milkshake's two surviving ones. (Rescued 2020.)
Fleur
A kitten that, in retrospect; was a member of the inactive Newcomers. Might have been related to the newly found kittens Mittens and Maradona. (Rescued 2020.)
The Florals
The first litter of newborn kittens rescued on the channel; the group being named after their mother Peony. (Rescued 2020)
Fay

Maple
The first kept kitten on the channel, discovered behind a Wal-Mart that had no other cats. (Rescued 2021)
Fistfight and Biteback
A brother-sister feral kitten combo that needed socialization that reminded Apo a lot of his first rescues, Cookies and Cream. (Rescued 2021)
The Spices
A litter of kittens born in the Restaurant subcolony by their mother Saffron, who was too feral to rescue but still nursed the kittens. (Rescued 2021)

The Twilight Saga
Bella and her sister Maradona would become pregnant with ZirconArrows (Apo's sister) fostering Bella and her three babies, and Apo fostering Maradonas. (Rescued 2021)
The Little League
The litter of tabbies that were born to Maradona. (Rescued 2021)
Fanta
A rescue that took place behind the scenes but is referenced by Apo as an older kitten was brought to them to socialize and was quite hissy, and would turn into a lovebug. (Rescued 2021)
Raisin
A kitten that became viral on Tiktok after being discovered under a dumpster in Apo's old apartment complex. (Rescued 2021)
Spitfire
A kitten that was discovered in the beginning of a Twitch livestream and was notably friendly. Was featured in the 'Twitch Rescues A Kitten' Youtube video. (Rescued 2021)
Tyche
An off camera rescue of a long hair calico cat that ran in front of Apo's car as they made a left hand turn on a busy road. The cat was so nervous that when Apo found them 10 minutes later in a nearby field in shock, they ran into the carrier once open. It is still unclear whether Tyche was someone's pet that was lost or abandoned. (Rescued 2021)
The Onlyfans Kittens
Kittens that were discovered in a livestream, and were personally rescued rather than cooperating with a county shelter, humane society, or rescue. Apo would make a Youtube video allowing Onlyfans models to name the kittens rather than Twitch Chat. (Rescued 2021)
The Bakery Bunch
Born to their mother; Tiramisu, the bakery bunch would encourage Twitch Chat to name the kittens in a group. Apo originally wanted another toritoiseshell within the Ground Zero colony; and was given Tiramisu instead. Biscotti would become a viral sensation on Tiktok; and Meringue would be the channels first Siamese newborn kitten. (Rescued 2022)
The Solar Systems
In which the mother, Sol, gave birth to four kittens inside of a trap within an animal shelter, where she was due to be spayed and terminate the babies. It is very rare to see a spay in a late term pregnancy, but the shelter could not take her and the kittens in, leading to possible euthanasia of the kittens if it had not been for the channel sweeping into rescue them. (Rescued 2022)
Ice Cream Sandwich and Omen
A brother pair rescued together with ISC being adopted quickly, with his brother Omen needing more time to get used to people. (Rescued 2022)
Work Kittens
Found by a former coworker of CobaltCastaway when the kittens wandered around their neighborhood, but a fourth one had vanished, was brought to the clinic for their safety where they would be rescued by the channel. (Rescued 2022)
The Latte Litter
A beautiful and friendly Creampoint Siamese momma would give birth under a feeder who was irresponsible and had no interest in spaying her due to raccoons eating her kittens regularly, leading Apoinsettia and the channel to rescue her kittens where they would be safely homed instead of being racoon dishes. (Rescued 2022)
The Fleababies
One of the most eventful rescues in which their mother Tarantula gave birth in a storage crate that had been infested with fleas. Apoinsettia's attempts to trap the kittens was undermined by other feeders continually feeding, causing attempts to lure the kittens into the trap to repeatedly fail. Apoinsettia would be bitten over a hundred times and contract a minor cold, surface infections, and ringworm. The kittens were crawling in fleas and possessed hookworms in their fecal samples, which can also contribute to anemia. How the kittens are alive are a miracle, but sadly one fourth kitten never re-emerged.
Mikey
One of the most successful rescues, Mikey was discovered in a neighborhood where he could not walk well. It was discovered that Mikey could barely walk at all. With fear of paralysis and after diagnostics and no discovered fractures it was assumed to be a case of Swimmer's Syndrome, affecting a kittens mobility. Luckily, with some hard work from Mikey, Mikey has made a recovery where he can now move his back legs and is considered a miracle for the channel.
The Handfuls
A momma cat, Cassiopeia, was spayed by the other feeders, with them unknowing that she was a mother to kittens. Somehow, after being away from her kittens for 24 hours the kittens would survive and three weeks later would reveal themselves. After two frustrating nights of trapping on stream, these kittens were young enough and barely reactive to be caught by hand despite being sentient and estimated to be six weeks old at the time of capture. Kittens had ringworm. They would be the first kittens to be caught by hand on the channel with all caught in one night.
The Mechanic Shop Rescue
The Hurricane Rescue
Within just days of Hurricane Ian's imminent arrival, a mom and three kittens were found underneath a shipping container. The path of the category 4 hurricane was expected to head straight for the area, so the decision was made to return to the area to trap and rescue the kittens, ensuring their safety before the hurricane made landfall. Although Hurricane Ian diverted to the north, the outer bands of the storm still battered the area and reinforced it as a good choice to make room in the already maxed out capacity for the new rescues. All three kittens and mom, DaisyMae, were trapped and brought in safe from the storm.
Hopscotch
When a kitten at The Hideaway Subcolony seemed to be limping with an injury to his hind leg, action was taken to intervene and trap him to provide urgent medical care. It was clear that the wound was infected and had protruding bone, requiring amputation. The kitten would prove to be friendly, calm, and cooperative to have a successful operation and recovery.
The Saplings
Named after their father known as Forrest Grump, the most maniacal cat on the channel, it was discovered that there were three kittens who were unmistakenly his offspring present at The Hedges Subcolony. At first, it wasn't clear how many kittens were present. One was trapped, who would be named Chatterbox for being so vocal, but Apoinsettia could have sworn he saw others. Following that instinct, returning a few days later he found two more kittens that were also trapped and brought in to socialize and rescue. Being quite feral fearfully shaking on the stream at their new indoor surroundings, the two others were named Shiver and Fidget. Fidget would be adopted by friend of the channel, FlooGames, the first adoption to a channel viewer and member of the community.
Dollop
Dollop only appeared on the channel briefly at the time of her being trapped in early December 2022. After being told of a young muted calico, Apoinsettia was able to quickly trap her. She would spend a short amount of time with FlooGames along with Fidget. Dollop remained rather shy during the trial with FlooGames, while Fidget seemed to open up and be quite playful leading to permanently being adopted by Floo while Dollop would soon after find a permanent home with another adopter.
Floral
A well known and beloved cat often on stream late on Sunday streams, Floral would be one of the friendliest and most vocal of cats on the channel. Living in an abject dump on the side of the road with a concerning amount of broken glass, Apoinsettia frequently said if he could save one cat off the street, she would top the list. Finally, on Christmas day 2022, Apoinsettia finally had room to take her in and without the need for a trap, simply encouraged her into a carrier to take her home.
The Sicklies
A pregnant medium hair tabby stray well cared for by a business owner, Mike, at part of The Roundabout Colony was trapped on a stream in early March 2023. Shortly thereafter, as it turns out on National Women's Day, March 8 she would give birth to 5 kittens. Several of the neonatal kittens would develop eye infections. In spite of close watch and care, two of them would succumb to complications, but three would survive and thrive: two brown tabbies Parsley (male), Morsel (female), and Tinsel the female silver tabby. Mom, named CatGPT, will be spayed and returned to the colony to be a regular on the channel.
Bruh Moment
Bruh Moment is a kitten that was taken in by Apoinsettia when he was only a few weeks old. He had been found by a personal acquaintance alone on the street along with a deceased sibling who had unfortunately been struck by a car.
