Lucy & Kallie, our grandmothers
Rainy morning with two of our old girls, Lucy & Kallie.
Old kitties bring stability and peace to a shelter when they are treated as part of the family instead of been locked in cages.
Old kitties teach the young ones to love and care for each other.
Lucy, the tabby girl, was rescued from a farm and was part of a sixty cat colony. We worked every day during a spring and summer season to catch/spay/neuter them all. Only eight of them were returned to the property and all the others were placed in great homes.
Kallie, came from the home of a very old and sick adorable couple who lived very far away.
The mother cat and kittens were really wild living in a decrepit little shed. The couple fed them, but they could not do more for them. The area’s environment was very hostile and scary at times like a scene from one of Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories
Contrarily to her siblings, it took us eight years for Kallie to trust us. Today, she is proud of being the house’s grandmother.

Our favorite kind of kittens, the feral ones.
We are so excited! Sadly, they are a lot of them in this location and we will be busy for long time. Forget us not, please. Cat food is always needed; especially, because the winter is nearby.
We are also in need of carriers with large doors and in preference with a door that opens from the top.
We will be in Victoria and Langford on Monday and Tuesday picking up donations, doctor appointment and more papers to hand in for the Western Communities' Court conference meeting in a month from now.
We wish you all a great weekend! We love you!
Happy Easter to all our friends and followers! We love you all!
RIP, sweet tabby kitty. We are sorry for the humans who abandoned you, as if you were garbage. We hope that today from haven you can see that not all of us are evil. The couple who saved you loved you and wanted to adopt you. We are sorry for all the lack of food and misery you went through.
Last week, we met a lovely couple of animal lovers. Their hearts are beautiful and they are willing to help us rescue when the opportunity comes.
They did not have experience with feral cats and; sadly, their first rescue ended in the death of the kitty.
They contacted us after they found a feral tabby very small cat. They came to pick up a trap and followed all our instructions.
When we received the first pictures of the kitty we thought it was a kitten because of its tiny size. After watching the video we realized the sad reality of what we have been saying for more than a decade, somebody had abandoned it. The cat's behavior was from a domesticated cat and it can never be from a feral cat. A feral will never allow us to get so close to its face. It will be terrified and it first instinct will be to hiss and try to hide.
We were all so happy that they were able to trap it and to foster it!
Sadly, yesterday, they called us to let us know that they kitty have died.
We feel so bad for the poor kitty and for them.
We explained to them that this happens sometimes. We have rescued cats who have spent their entire lives outside battling the cold, the rain, the lack of food and water and an illness. When we brought them inside they poor animals died a month later.
From these devastating rescues, after observing and thinking, we finally understood the real reason of their sudden deaths.
During the years when the animal has to battle the weather sometimes suffering with an illness growing inside of them it develops a survival preservation skill protecting it from falling down. Therefore, when we bring the cats inside and they are able to relax instead of worrying to sur
We wish you all a very Happy Easter's long weekend from our families to yours!!!
On the last day of this difficult year we would like to wish you a very peaceful, healthy and happy 2023 to you and your families!
After four very stressing months we finally did it. Another milestone crossed in the ten year history of our feral cat rehabilitation group.
This is going to be our second large project because in the years 2012-2015 we also refurbished an old beautiful barn. Sadly, after we completed the renovations the barn’s owner decided to sell it.
In other words, we know how to do it, but we are going to need all the help we can get. Because building materials cost expensive.
Therefore, if some day you can donate gift certificates from lumber and hardware stores or from pet stores to help us buy what we need to create a feral and stray kitty’s rehabilitation center we will be forever grateful.
Times are very hard for us all humans at this moment and more and more little innocent animals are getting dumped everywhere.
Veterinary fees cost a fortune and not too many groups are taking responsibility in opening their doors to stray or feral cats.
Thank you all for caring! 💖
We are feeling melancholic on this snowy day tearing down our catio-jungle gym.
On the other hand, we are excited to see what life brings us in our farm.
For a few days we will not be in our computer working in our stories and graphics, please, forget us not.
A new year is upon us with lots of starving abandoned cats and kittens waiting to be rescued. We are working hard to get easy access to these poor little angels. We are going to need all the help we can get.
We wish you to have a lovely snowing day! ❤️🐈⬛❤️🐈❤️
