The Cats Sass Rescue

Still looking for volunteers for the Catty Shack! We get lots of interest, but no one follows through. It takes alot of time to organize a time and date where we can meet the potential volunteer at the Shack. If you have reached out previously, you should have received a volunteer application, please fill it out, or go to our website www.catssassrescue.com and at the top of the page, there will be a button that says ‘volunteer application’. Fill it out and it will go directly to our inbox.
Volunteers are needed for at least 1-2 shifts per week.
To our amazing group of volunteers we have now…thank you all so much you have no idea how much we appreciate you!!!!

Welcome to The Cat's Sass Rescue, based in Coalhurst, Alberta, and serving the surrounding areas. Dedicated to helping paws of every kind, we rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome cats in need.

Adopt Lexie: The Cat with Attitude!

Are you tired of boring, overly affectionate pets? Meet Lexie, the cranky queen of her domain! This fabulous feline is in search of a special human who understands that personal space and a little crankiness can go a long way.

Likes:
- Pain and suffering
- Napping like a champ
- Being left alone to enjoy her solitude
-Watching funny cat videos

Dislikes:
- The color pink
- Taylor Swift
- Being disturbed while napping
- Being picked up
- Being touched
- Anyone merely breathing in her vicinity (you have been warned!)

Special Talent: Lexie enjoys laying on her person’s lap, but there’s a catch: her human must remain completely still, no petting, no movement, and definitely no breathing! It's the ultimate test of patience and discipline.

If you’re looking for a companion who doesn’t demand your attention and thrives in blissful solitude, Lexie is your girl! Adopt her today, and enjoy the quiet life with a little added sass! 🐾✨

It's been an extremely hard month for us, a lot of loss. We are coming to you once again to help with help for a higher than usual bill. One of our fosters called on the weekend and was worried about one of the kittens, Priya. She had stopped eating and drinking, and was quite lethargic. We had been doing subcutaneous fluids to keep her hydrated, spoon feeding her to get something in her stomach. We had an appointment booked on Monday to get checked out. Saturday night she started getting getting worse, so we asked the foster to take her into the clinic, and arranged for the after hours vet to meet her there. They did a full exam including blood work and x-rays, and on the advice of the vet, poor Priya was declining so rapidly, the most humane thing to do was euthanize. We do not take this decision lightly, but with speaking about options with the vet, we decided to end sweet Priya's suffering. An after hours call on a weekend has added costs, but when it comes to situations like this, sometimes is necessary.
We need helping covering the $897 bill for sweet Priya.

E-Transfers can be sent to [email protected] (donations over $20 can receive a tax receipt, just put your full name, address and email address in the detail section)

If you would prefer to donate directly to the clinic e-transfers can be sent to [email protected] (make sure to confirm it is for The Cat's Sass Rescue)

I have attached the invoice in the comment section for a breakdown of the costs.

Thank you to all of our supporters.

It’s an important topic that people not in rescue don’t understand. If you’ve seen the amount of kittens that I have seen die, or how many kittens you watch struggle to breath for hours because there little bodies are shutting down and there’s nothing you can do but cuddle them…until you’ve seen that, don’t tell us we are “cruel”.

This sweet pea is the only one left from his litter. If you are interested in meeting this sweet guy, shoot us a message and we can arrange a time to meet. ☺️

**Urgent Assistance Needed**

The Cats Sass Rescue is currently facing a critical situation. After taking in an entire colony of cats and kittens, we are now overwhelmed with health concerns throughout the group — and our resources are nearly depleted.
We have a few critical vet visits scheduled for tomorrow and do not currently have enough funding to cover them. In addition to urgent veterinary care, we are also in need of the following:
* Cat food
* Litter
* Financial support to cover medical and daily care
* Adopters or fosters to help reduce the current strain on the rescue
This is one of the most challenging times we’ve encountered. We are calling on our supporters and the broader community to assist in any way possible — whether through financial contributions, food or litter donations, or simply sharing our message.
Ways to Help:
* Go fund me: https://gofund.me/53d737bbf
* Amazon supply list: https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/3MCL0QF5T8SNH?ref_=wl_share
* E-transfer: [email protected]
* Bottle depot runs/ we can collect bottles. (If you would like to donate directly, we have an account at every bottle depot in Lethbridge, just mention the rescues name)
* Send or drop off supplies (food and litter are top priorities)
* Adopt or foster one of our cats
* Share this message with others who may be able to support our efforts

The Cats Sass Rescue has always stepped in when animals needed help. Today, we’re asking for that same support in return. Every donation, supply, and share makes a big difference for all our sweet babies.
Thank you for all your support and love for all out feline friends.❤️

These are just a few of the sweet peas available for adoption. All with a different story. If you head to our website and click on ‘cats’ you’ll see more pictures of cats currently available for adoption. We currently have 77 cats at the rescue, not all of them are available for adoption quite yet but we will be sure to post pics once they are, until then let’s get all these babies into their furever homes 🥰

Just a few stats for our supporters so you can see how your support helps us continue to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome stray and abandoned cats all over Southern Alberta.
20 The number of cats rescued before becoming a rescue
309 The number of cats that have come through the rescue between 2023 up until today!
77 The number of cats within the Rescue as of today

We could not do this without the amazing support of amazing people who, like us, want to find loving homes for all stray and abandoned animals. Thank you to the amazing rescues we have worked with and continue to work with who have taken in cats, helped cover vetting, donated supplies, ran fundraisers, and just supported our efforts. To our supporters for helping with donations, supplies, sharing posts, adopting and fostering. You are making a difference.
And our amazing dedicated group of volunteers who always go above and beyond for our cat crew and help in anyway they can-you are the real MVP's! We have had a lot of loss, especially lately, and no matter how sad they were, they still showed up for the kitties!

The work is physically exhausting, it's mentally draining, and extremely frustrating, but we love it. The fact that over 300 cats have been saved because of 2 crazy cat ladies who thought it would be a great idea "to run a small rescue" allows us to put the bad and the sad behind us and concentrate on caring for the 77 cats currently in our care, and the hundreds more that will pass through in the coming years.

Here are some pictures just for attention

We are extremely over capacity and we need help! WE NEED VOLUNTEERS. WE NEED FOSTERS. We are looking for volunteers for the Catty Shack for at least 1 shift a week! We need cat lovers to care for our 20+ kitties.
We also need fosters. We have kitties that don’t do well in the shack with multiple cats but would do great in a home with fewer cats. Or cats that require special diets! If you are able to open your home to foster please message us!
