If I don’t come you can find me under the massive laundry pile at the laundromat…

This is so true! One extra cats is at least a $300 vet bill, and much more if they are sick. Plus the added food, cleaning, finding fosters , finding adopters……and no one is getting adopted. We have so many beautiful cats (well they are all beautiful) and I just can’t understand why no one wants them 😢 They all deserve to have their own forever home ❤️❤️

We do not have any spay/neuter appointments until the last week of November. Our next transfer with Seattle is December - That means, every cat/kitten that we say "Yes" to right now is going to sit in a kennel for the next three-four weeks. That is the reality.

Imagine saying "Yes" to 40 cats/kittens. Every added cat is additional work. 6-8 hours a day. Scrubbing litterboxes, filling food, cleaning kennels, keeping medication schedules, vaccination schedules. Several are sick or they have weird poo. Still, you trudge through it. Because they are counting on you.

I get depressed when the cats sit. This work feels the hardest when you collect all the cats. But they don't go anywhere.

Knowing that, though, I still said "Yes" a bunch today. (I should not have)..... We brought in another 11 cats/kittens.

Here are two kittens found under a fishing dock.

I look at them. I know that dealing with one more kennel is an inconvenience to my day. But, to them, that kennel saves their actual lives 🤷‍♀️

Haha... but with that said...if I am grumpy and tired all month. I hope you know why. 😄

Hey, local supporters! Is anyone going to UFA or Rona today? We need some pellet litter; if you are going, it can save us a trip!

Do you have bottles just sitting in your garage that you never get time to take in? Check out the link below and set up a bottle pickup. You will be helping out the rescue and helping to keep plastic out of the landfill!

SkipTheDepot picks up your cans, electronics, and clothes and e-Transfers you the refund. No more trips to the bottle depot

We are looking for people who have adopted from our rescue or worked with us and would like to write a testimonial or reference letter to include with our Charity application. Please message us if you’d like to write one for us! We need it this weekend

Anyone making a trip to Costco! On sale until Sunday! This is the cat food we use at the rescue and is one of biggest expenses aside from vetting. If you are like me (steph) I love a good deal and a good cause so grab a bag for the rescue and pass along the gift of food to the cats! We will also except digital costco gift cards (send to [email protected]) too and we will go shop for the food on your behalf!!

Skip the coffee and help us keep on going! Any donation helps!

We are in desperate need of donations to help cover the ever rising vet bills. Our total vet bill is almost $18,000 (and that was only within 4 months!!). We need to pay at least $6306.42 to cover the remaining bills from July and August.
Adoptions are at a stand still, as are the donations. We completely understand that alot of people are hitting bad times (hey, we are too!). We have stopped all intake (but the calls keep coming in), but we still have the cats in our care that cost money for their daily care and any emergency vet care that comes up.
We have done fundraisers recently, and bottle drives, which were both amazing and successful but we still have not been able to pay it down.
E-Transfers can be sent to [email protected], or message the rescue directly and we can give you information to pay the vet clinic directly.
Thank you :)

After multiple trips to the municipality where the mama was, we finally secured the kittens! Mama is incredibly smart and elusive so it’s a waiting game to secure her.
I’m so glad these babies are finally out of the cold ❤️ Mama is a beautiful calico who is quite feral. I will post an update once Mama is secured.
Kittens and mama will be taken to the vet for health checks. Donations towards their vet care would be greatly appreciated.

We are so incredibly grateful to our friends over at No-Kill Animal Association (Lethbridge) ! They donated close to $1200 to the rescue through there bottle drive. They have always been incredibly supportive to The Cat’s Sass and we appreciate them all so much!

Our dream is to be able to make posts like this! So so happy for all these fur babies finding their forever homes!

If that Monday grind has you craving a treat, we sure hope the 114 adoptable pets that went home last week does the trick! If you're still looking for something sweet, then treat yourself to a visit to Seattle Humane. We'll be open again on Tuesday and looking to scare up more adoptions. Yes, we'll even be open on Halloween, the greatest of all the holidays.

When people ask me “How many litters do you have at your house for your cats?” …
I don’t know exactly, this many? 😆
(And that is only the basement-there is still a litter room upstairs!). I just got done scrubbing them all 😮‍💨
