We will be heading out on a little bottle drive this morning! We thank everyone who messaged about bottles and we will try to get to you as soon as we are able. It may take more than a day but we really appreciate you reaching out. If you have questions or you want us to pick up then we are happy to do so. We thank you and so do the precious cats and kittens.

Welcome 2025 and we hope that this year will be the year that everything balances and that we can continue doing rescue without the stress of the bill part if things. Realistically, we know that stress will be a part of this job some days but there is also enjoyment! We do appreciate each and everyone’s support no matter how they help us!!! Some of the cats and kittens that have been helped this year will be shown below and we are up over 70 rescues so for a small team we are happy with this. We love your continued donations so feel free to send an email transfer to [email protected] at any time as it helps so much

Braveheart is looking for his forever home and he is less than a year old. He came from the outside when a very kind couple wanted to see him and his siblings have a better life. He has come a long way but is still a bit scared of humans but loves his cat foster siblings. He will take treats from our hands and will let you pet him if you are giving him a treat. We expect that he will come around even more in his forever home as he has come such a long way. He loves to play and will sleep on our bed when we are not in it and he has on occasion jumped on in the middle of the night to sleep.
He does not hiss or hurt anyone but he is still on the fearful side and will need a home that can work with him and love him for his unique personality! He is such a beautiful brown tabby boy and he has been neutered and up to date on vaccines. Please message us if you are interested in meeting him!

We are looking for a special foster for Douglas and we have to ask that those who want to either have not other cats or kittens or that the only food eaten in the house is a special urinary food! This is imperative for him as he may not survive if this is not followed and he gets urinary crystals and a blockage again. He is a sweet love bug and has been very easy to take care of but because we have other fosters currently he does not have a lot of space. If you have a room where he can hang out until he is ready to be adopted, we supply the food and supplies needed to do this. We would need a phone number in order to discuss the details for this special boy?

12/27/2024

Please help us to pay off Douglas’s vet bill and start the New Year with less stress for the rescue. The small amounts add up and help so much. We are at $800 so far so $2000 left to go
Update: we are up to $1600 and we thank everyone so much for helping out with your donations!

12/27/2024

Stay tuned for some Boxing day sales this week in our Saving Paws Rescue Fabulous Friday online yard sale group. These are new or gently used donated items and they will all be on sale Annnnd it is for the cats and kittens in care! Wahoo

Last photos for the night in updating this album. These are not our current adoptables but these are rescues from the past 4 years!! We have had many come through the doors and we know that most of them(hopefully all) are leading much safer and happier lives in their new loving homes

12/26/2024

These kittens and cats are going in our rescue album. This is our fourth year of rescue so we want to keep a photo album of some of the cats and kittens that have come into care

Update: Douglas is the sweetest young boy who loves to get pet and is now eating his special urinary food. We did not come close to the $2800 vet bill in donations so we do hope that some more may come in to help with the cost of everything. Douglas is going to make someone a very special cat when he is ready for adoption but he will have to be in a home that will give him only urinary food for the remainder of his life or this could happen again. Another option is to have another cat on the same diet and that is the only food that is in the home! Enjoy your day and sometime soon we will share a little video of Douglas!

This is Douglas (fang) he was surrendered back over to us after a medical emergency. This sweet boy is two years old. Douglas had urinary crystals. As many of you may know this is life threatening if not treated. For those of you who don’t know what it is, male cats can get crystals in their bladder which travel into their urethra and cause them not to be able to p*e which in turn causes issues with the kidneys which then can lead to septic shock and unfortunately death if not treated. Douglas’s bladder was large, firm and painful upon arrive at our vet. Douglas spent 4 days at the vet on fluids and with a catheter. His catheter was removed on Sunday and has been doing great since. Douglas will need to stay on a strict diet of urinary food for the rest of his life to prevent another blockage.

We are looking for donations toward his vet bill. His vet bill was $2,808.45. This is just one of the many emergency’s we deal with through out the year. We are asking for donations towards his vet bill as anything and everything helps!!

We have some really great new or gently used items for this leftover Fab Friday fundraiser. The things that are in this album were donated by our supporters and are new or gently used and if you wish to
find the descriptions and price please go to Saving Paws Rescue Fabulous Friday online yard sale and take a look at the two albums to see what is left. You will know what is taken as it has a comment in the comment section as well as a pending pick up it PPU beside what it is. Please feel free to make a deal for one or multiple items as it helps us to pay the bills only if it sells. We hope that everyone here enjoys their holidays and has lots of time to relax with their family and friends while making new memories. We will be taking a break as well for the most part but you may see a few things happening in regards to fundraising. We have something planned….

It is very hard for us to believe that we are heading into the holidays as it has been such a busy year. We want to take a moment to thank all of our supporters and those who participate in our fundraisers at times during the year. Please know that we could not do this without you! To all the businesses that are coming on board to help us we thank you as well. Danielle Brideau began this rescue just coming out of high school and it is so hard for us to believe that it has been 4 years already. We are pleased that we can help as many animals as we have and with your continued help we will do as much as we are able to do!! We are very happy that most of the cats and kittens that have come into care find an amazing family to love them for the rest of their lives and that is what they deserve and should have!! Please spay and neuter your animals as rescues cannot keep up with the animals that need our help! We do our very best but in reality most rescues have had to close to recoup, both financially and due to being full! Rescues do their very best to give animals what they need when people have let them down so please be supportive by being kind and contribute by sharing or helping financially if you are able!! We thank you as the community surrounding us has helped so much since we have begun!
Donations are always appreciate big or small to [email protected]
Below are photos of a few cats and kittens that we have helped in the last year. Some have been adopted and some are not adopted yet!
