Lady Gatta cat rescue and adoption

28/12/2024

Pepe le Cute is being such a good friend to Moyo, who's so happy being inside that he doesn't even try to leave the cage when the door is open 😻

21/12/2024

This poor boy has Entropion, which means the eyelids are rolled backwards and his eyelashes are scraping against his right eye. It's SO irritating and painful.

I just didn't have the heart to put him back out, so he's be in a cage in my living room until I can schedule the surgery. It'll probably only be in February because my clinic is backed up, and also it's expensive (around$1000) so I'll have to save up. At least Moyo, which means heart in Swahili (for the little heart-shaped patch between his eyes), is starting to let me pet him!

Ce pauvre garçon a un entropion, ce qui signifie que les paupières sont enroulées vers l'arrière et que ses cils frottent contre son œil droit. C'est tellement irritant et douloureux.

Je n'ai tout simplement pas eu le courage de le remettre dehors, alors il sera dans une cage dans mon salon jusqu'à ce que je puisse planifier l'opération. Ce ne sera probablement qu'en février parce que ma clinique est débordée, et aussi c'est cher (environ 1000 $) donc je vais devoir économiser. Au moins Moyo, qui signifie cœur en swahili (pour le petit patch en forme de cœur entre ses yeux), commence à me laisser le flatter!

Hey cat lovers, my cat carriers are all either broken or too gross to put the TNR kitties in. Anyone have a hard, sturdy, average sized transporter they don't need anymore?

Apparently Sparky enjoys an audience, but only his lucky adopter will have ringside seats for all future performances!

10/12/2024

Ok so I'm just going to keep posting adorable videos of Sparky until he gets adopted. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!

Not that anyone owes me a christmas present, but Sparky finding a family would definitely be the best one. 🥰

Ok, je vais continuer à publier des vidéos adorables de Sparky jusqu'à ce qu'il soit adopté. LA RÉSISTANCE EST FUTILE !!

Ce n'est pas que quelqu'un me doive un cadeau de Noël, mais que Sparky trouve une famille serait certainement le meilleur. 🥰

If I can haul my flu-ridden body off the couch, these 2 new cuties will be going into foster this weekend! It won't be long before they'll be available for adoption. ❤️

What I do to keep the Foster kittens busy while I'm at work 😂

03/12/2024

Sparky's foster, Jessica, and I just can't believe he's not adopted yet 🥺
Here's a message she just wrote to me:

"I was on a videocall with my brother back in France today and he was so impressed at how willing Sparky was to get his belly rubbed and how gentle he is overall. He also cannot believe he hasn't been adopted yet. Everyone who sees him tells me how handsome he is.
I really want him to find his forever family, he deserves to be loved by his forever humans."

Please share far and wide, let's get Sparky a home for the holidays ❤️

Look at this generosity from some really wonderful fosters and former adopters!! You know you've made someone happy when they whoop with joy after opening a box of p*e pads.

Thank you so so much, I've written to all the donors individually so if you donated but haven't heard from me, please let me know.

Giving Tuesday is tomorrow, so if you're still interested in helping my little rescue keep chugging along, any amount counts. Everything goes towards supplies and unexpected medical bills at the vet, like for our little Hershey who suffered from FIP but is now fully recovered!

Thank you everyone for caring about our stray, sick, and abandoned feline friends.

My newest foster kitty Pepe le Cute loves his veggies 😂

Yaaaaaaaay our adorable Malcolm has finally been adopted!! Good luck in your new home little buddy 😻❤️👋

28/11/2024

My newest intake. Another traumatized abandoned cat. Thanks to Angie for rescuing him, and to Frederic for agreeing to foster. Hopefully time, patience, and cuddles will help him trust people again.

UPDATE: thanks to some wonderful and generous people the wish list has been completely bought up! If you are still interested in donating you can e-transfer to [email protected], any amount helps!

Dear Lady Gatta friends,

It's been a rougher year than usual, lots of sick kitties, some on prolonged meds and others that needed help from our great friend Laurence at FelineGood. Sooo many abandoned cats this year that we're all desperately trying to place, except that we're also fighting a lower adoption rate than usual (high vet costs and nasty landlords don't help...).

To try to stay at least somewhat afloat, I'm doing something different this year. In anticipation of black Friday, and the approaching Giving Tuesday on December 3rd, I've created a short wish list. This way, you can see where your donation is going! You can find the link at the bottom of this post. (the laundry powder is there on purpose, in case you're wondering - so many loads of dirty blankets and towels!!).

Of course, monetary donations of any amount are always also so appreciated; every penny goes towards the vet bills for unexpected expenses - blood tests, fiv/FeLV tests, antibiotics, urine tests, stool sample tests, behaviourist consultation for anxious cats (always the poor abandoned ones), and even random things like when little Malcolm ripped his paw open and needed immediate care.

We know times are tight, and so I just want you to know how much I appreciate your continued support, so that we can continue this important work. ❤️🫶😻

Chers amis de Lady Gatta,

Cette année a été plus difficile que d'habitude, beaucoup de chats malades, certains sous traitement prolongé et d'autres qui avaient besoin de l'aide de notre grande amie Laurence de FelineGood. Tellement de chats abandonnés cette année que nous essayons tous désespérément de placer, sauf que nous luttons également contre un taux d'adoption plus faible que d'habitude (les frais vétérinaires élevés et les propriétaires désagréables n'aident pas...).

Pour essayer de rester au moins un peu à flot, je fais quelque chose de différent cette année. En prévision du Black Friday et du Giving Tuesday qui approche le 3 décembre, j'ai créé une petite liste de souhaits. De cette façon, vous pouvez voir où va votre don! Vous pouvez trouver le lien au bas de ce message. (la lessive est là exprès, au cas où vous vous poseriez la question - tant de lavage de couvertures et de serviettes sales!!).

Bien sûr, les dons monétaires de n'importe quel montant sont toujours aussi appréciés; chaque dollar sert à payer les factures vétérinaires pour les dépenses imprévues - analyses de sang, tests FIV/FeLV, antibiotiques, analyses d'urine, analyses d'échantillons de selles, consultation comportementaliste pour les chats anxieux (toujours les pauvres abandonnés), et même des choses aléatoires comme lorsque le petit Malcolm s'est déchiré la patte et a eu besoin de soins immédiats.

Nous savons que les temps sont difficiles, et je veux donc que vous sachiez à quel point j'apprécie votre soutien continu, afin que nous puissions continuer ce travail important. ❤️🫶😻

If you're wondering what happened to all the cats we got yesterday, here are most of them! The adorable kittens I posted yesterday were kept by the spca, yay, and these three beautiful girls are recovering overnight in my apartment before they are released. Makes me sad to have to let them go, but at least now they're vaccinated and sterilized and they have some really excellent feeders who take good care of them.

Jonesy, already adopted, and Topaze, already on hold, are on their way to their first vet visit!

25/11/2024

These are the 2 kittens we got today, how cute are they??

24/11/2024

Big day today! Fingers crossed we get one more...

Sunday morning avec Lady Gatta cat rescue and adoption. Fun times. Nous avons attrapé 5 chats et chatons, waiting for one more.

Hello friends of LG, I'm unfortunately FULL until at least the new year. Between recent requests to take on cats, and adoptions slowing to a crawl, I just don't have any more room for new kitties. Please refer to the pinned post with a list of trusted rescues if you need help.

On another note, these beauties have all been in foster for much longer than they should be, considering how sweet and adorable they are. Please share share share and help them find their perfect forever homes!! 🫶

Sparky, Penny
Hershey, Malcolm
