Good afternoon from the Grease Litter 😊☀️

15/08/2024

Arlow is feeling the love, he is definitely a little snuggler. He will be ready for his forever home shortly after his first vaccinations, in two weeks time. We are accepting applications for those interested in this little heart stealer as of now! He is so precious, we can’t get enough of these photos 😍 🥹❤️‍🩹

Good morning from sweet Oreo, who is healing from his neuter in our catio 🎉✨🫶

Oreo is estimated to be just over a year old.
Did you know that vets can tell the age of a cat by their teeth?🦷

14/08/2024

Wow, with the power of social media our post successfully managed to help us fundraise over $400 to help with Arlow’s sibling. Everyone’s generosity has been INCREDIBLE 🥹🤞 We can not say thank you enough.

We have also found another foster who is picking up “Poppy” tonight. She has been able to use the bathroom once since our last post but will make her an appointment to see a vet immediately.

Thank you thank you thank you 🫶💛

Another Stray Neutered 🎉

Meet Oreo 🖤🤍

•Remember the intact/male/stray cat in Erickson who was skiddish? Well Margarette Kramer successfully trapped him and with the help of Bonnie Yeomans he was transported to Brandon where he will be neutered this morning.

•We have messaged several barn buddies who inquired previously about wanting cats but have yet to find a permanent placement for him after he heals from his surgery as no one has responded.

•He tolerates being pet (in his kennel) but will not come close enough to people when loose. He is not aggressive just very, very scared.

•Please message us if you are interested in adopting Oreo for your barn/shed/shop. Barn buddies need a warm, comfortable space to sleep (especially in cold winters) and require to be fed and not self sufficient.

🚨❤️‍🩹We Need Your Help ❤️‍🩹🚨

ANOTHER KITTEN FOUND🥺
!!Needs medical attention/homing immediately!!

We are unsure if this kitten and Arlow are related as they were found miles apart, but they appear to be the same age and look almost identical (Arlow being in rougher physical condition), so it is quite the coincidence.

Founder mentioned this kitten is NOT using the restroom and makes a terrible noise when trying to digest food. We are concerned for its health but are short on funds as we have already agreed to take the black and white adult/intact stray to the vet tomorrow to be neutered. Due to the current living situation of the founder, we are also looking for someone who could provide a foster or permanent home to this sweetheart. ❤️‍🩹 She is a perfect little kitten. She is not scared of humans, she takes to you quite easily and will be at your feet. She loves to help sweep the floors too (chase after the broom!) 🙈 and loves “making biscuits” in blankies. ☺️

We feel like our hands are tied and are desperate for help. We are open to getting him into a vet but not having the funds in advance feels irresponsible. We are also willing to surrender him to another rescue who is in a better situation financially as our small rescue can’t keep up.

We appreciate any helpful advice and comments. Any negative comments will be deleted.

Please share!! 💔

❤️‍🩹🥹Arlow made it to the vet this morning. His bill was $183 and will be posted in the comments. He has an eye infection and will be getting treated with an ointment. His ears were treated for ear mites and now he just needs to heal until he is healthy enough to get vaccinated in a couple of weeks.

Thank you to the staff at Wheat City Vet Clinic for spoiling him today. And a big thanks to Shaleena Marie Hales for fostering him and cleaning him up last night upon arrival with a warm bath and some warm eye compresses to relieve some discomfort.

Donations can be sent to help with this young fellas bill to [email protected] or you can purchase raffle tickets for our Summer End Pedicure Draw, August 31st.

Good morning from Billie Joe and Midnight ☀️ Both awaiting their forever homes and now officially roomates.

Midnight is fully recovered from her spay surgery and Billie Joe finally has a friend to hang out with.

Adoption Fee’s- $48

08/08/2024

Cha Cha, Sandy + Marty Maraschino (all female) received their vaccinations this afternoon! Now everyone has been vaxxed and they are ready to go to their forever homes 💉👩‍⚕️.

Adoptions have been slow therefore we have decided for the month of August we will offer 10% off kitten adoptions. All adult cats are still 60% off their original adoption fees. 🎉🌈
That means:

Fully Vaccinated + Spayed/Neutered ⬇️
Adult Cats: $48
Kittens: $108 (includes sterolization surgery when 6 months of age)

All kittens and cats that are available for adoption are on our website at 👇🏼

Featured below is Marty (torti) and Rizzo (black and white) 🐱

Good morning! 🐱🌞
Dick and Jane Update:

Dick and Jane (the two feral kittens from Erickson) had their first vet appointments last week. 👨‍⚕️ 💉

Dick has a scratch on his eyelid and his third eye lid is attached. It is likely infected and he was prescribed an eye gel for 10 days. When Dick returns for his sterilization surgery they will snip the third eye lid (releasing it from his actual eye). He has also been sneezing (but Jane has not) so it is possible he has a URI, which the eye drops will help with. They have been dewormed and received their first vaccinations. 🎉

The bill was paid in full! Thank you everyone ❤️‍🩹

Anyone who can help these orphaned babies?

04/08/2024

🎉ADULT KITTY ADOPTION SALE 🎉

We use the word “adult” lightly because these babies are under the age of 2 years old, and they’ve simply grown out of their kitten stage therefore none of them have had any adoption applications 🥺

🩶 Smokie
🖤 Midnight
🧡🤍 Billie Joe
🤍🧡🤎 🖤 Olivia Newton John

60% OFF ADULT CATS ADOPTION FEES- (regular $120). That’s less than $50 for a fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered cat.

None of these cats are feral. They are all friendly and eager to meet their humans. Please share 🙏🩵

We officially have paid off Ina’s unexpected surgery, thanks to the help of our followers and Hoemsen B C Alicia. 🎉🙏

Ina has been missing her baby but is healing. She has been snuggling with her beanie baby in replacement of her kitten. As hard as this is for her, the kitten was still nursing from mama (as they had not been separated) and it was inevitable that they would need to be apart during this recovery period. ❤️‍🩹

Ina will be returned soon to her previous owner, who has been constantly checking in on her wellbeing and missing her. Please no negative comments as every not everyone’s situation is the same 🫶.

03/08/2024

Posting our invoice for transparency.
Luckily it was a little less than we anticipated as they gave us a “higher estimate” but we were still short $221.59.

Update on Ina post surgery:
She is being incredibly affectionate, however foster has mentioned she is “looking for her baby”. We know this will be a hard adjustment period for her. We will be looking into getting her blood work + x-rays in the future to be sure that she is healthy now that the mass has been removed.

Joan Jett: Joan Jett also had a visit at the clinic today to clean any parasites/earmites that may have transferred to her from mama before meeting her new foster family. Her bill was only $46 and was paid in full. She is a healthy kitten that now awaits her first set of vaccinations and hopefully an adoption in her near future 🐾🙏

02/08/2024

TODAY IS THE DAY FOR INA’S SPAY 🎉
IMPORTANT UPDATE ⬇️

Ina (13 years of age) is finally getting her spay, however we have had some unexpected news. We were made aware prior to her surgery (during her physical exam) that she has a small mass on her lady parts that could potentially be cancerous.. 😿

This can be easily removed during her spay surgery, however it does had an extra expense that we weren’t prepared for. The total today will be $639.11 as we agreed to have the mass removed.

Donations are greatly appreciated.
We are still waiting to be approved for our next raffle through the LGCA (application is still pending) so we are kind of in a bind. If you would like to purchase merchandise we have:

🤎Coffee mugs: $15
🤎Tumblers: $25
🤎Adult tee’s: $35
🤎Youth tee’s: $25

E-transfers can be sent to- [email protected]

We appreciate you all. Thank you. 🙏 invoice will be posted later today for transparency.

Update on her kitten Joan Jett: Joan will be going to her new foster family this afternoon and is still available for adoption 🐾
