Today was a hard day.

Today we had to say goodbye to our newest foster, mom of 5, River.

About 2-3 weeks ago River was seen wandering the Upper Clyde Road area. She was very scared and wouldn’t let anyone get close to her. We believe that she was dumped by her previous owners.

About 4 days ago a local camper discovered River’s 5 kittens, quietly nestled in a camping chair in a small wood shelter. We had attempted to catch River and were unsuccessful, she was believed to be feral. Shortly thereafter, with the help of some very caring individuals, we were able to trap River in a live trap and have her and her kittens escorted to one of our foster homes. Soon after entering her foster home it was realized that River wasn’t feral at all, she was just a scared momma trying to keep her babies safe. She quickly showed us what a great mom she was and stole our hearts. She was so kind and loving to us even though we’d only known her a short time.

Throughout the night last night River began acting strange. She was breathing heavy, unbalanced, and uncomfortable. Through the early hours of the morning River began to have seizures on and off. By the time River made it to the vet clinic she was seizing consistently. Our amazing vet tried their absolute best to save River’s life, but after all their efforts she sadly she passed away this afternoon. Blood tests showed that River’s blood was very thick, which had caused blood clots, resulting in her seizures. We are unsure at this time what caused this.
Sweet River is no longer in pain and we are so, so grateful to have been able to give her a safe, loving home and a full belly in her last days with us. We are thankful that her 5 sweet 1 week old babies are healthy and thriving.

Thank you to all those that helped get River to us and thank you to our amazing vet for their excellent care.

PLEASE, IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO KEEP YOUR CAT, REACH OUT TO US!!

PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS!!

Rest in peace Miss River, we will never forget the love and trust you had in us. Grateful to have had the opportunity to love you ❤️

🐾We’ve got a pretty special introduction this morning! 🐾

This is our litter of four flower power babies 🌸
Lupin, Marigold, Lavender and Dahlia came to us from Shelburne waterfront. They were feral, trying to get away from us as fast as they could, or hissing and attempting to attack us. Thanks to our amazing foster they are now some of the most loving kittens we have!

The flower babies deserve a special introduction because unfortunately, they are FeLv positive. FeLV is feline Leukaemia, which is transmittable to other cats. The antibodies stay dormant in their tiny bodies, it may or may not become active during their life, but we have no way of knowing how long it will, or will not take.

This doesn’t stop them from deserving a loving, forever home, no matter how long or short their lives may be.

If you are interested in opening your heart & home to these special babies, please send us a message to discuss the requirements for them!

Descriptions of each kitty will be under their photo.

🧡Meet Buddy🧡

Buddy is a sweet, unique kitty waiting for his forever home! He is approximately 4 years old and has spent the last year (at least) on his own. Thankfully a kind lady started feeding him and called us for help!
It is believed that Buddy has suffered an injury to his tail at some point. It causes him no pain and there are no current injuries however his tail always sits along his back. We love this unique trait of his!
Buddy is a very affectionate kitty. He wants to be petted, cuddled and loved constantly. He will let you know when he’s not getting the attention he wants by giving countless “head boops” and talking ☺️.
Buddy gets along very well with most cats, he doesn’t really enjoy the company of other adult males. It takes him a bit of time to get use to dogs. He would do great in any environment, he doesn’t mind a busy household!
Buddy has been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FELV & FIV, and treated for fleas and worms.
If you are interested in adopting Buddy you can DM us for an application or pick one up in store at Bridgewater Pet Valu!🫶🏻

💛🐾Meet Patches🐾💛

This beautiful girl is looking for her forever home.

Patches is a 1 year old shy little girl who is still learning to trust humans. Before coming into our care Patches had spent her life solely outdoors. Her mother was an unfixed female that had been abandoned by her owner, as a result Patches was born outside and never experienced life with humans.

Although she is still timid, she really appreciates being inside where it is nice and warm and she doesn’t have to worry about her next meal.

Patches is looking for an owner that will be patient with her while she learns that humans aren’t so bad.

She gets along well with other cats and will tolerate dogs.

Patches has been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for FELV & FIV, and has been treated for worms and fleas.
