TLDR: Our community is still struggling after Hurricane Helene. Please help support our community support effort at https://givebutter.com/feral

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we’ve been working tirelessly to help both people and animals in our community recover. We've been distributing pet food and supplies, reuniting lost pets with their families, and providing critical care for sick and injured kittens who survived the storm.

Over a month and a half later, the damage continues to impact the most vulnerable members of our community, including feral cats and displaced pets who are struggling to survive. The need for help has not diminished. If anything, it has become clearer that we must prepare for a marathon, not a sprint.

The long-term recovery from Hurricane Helene is daunting, but together, we can ease the suffering and bring hope to the animals and families who are still struggling. By contributing to these efforts, you can ensure that no animal is forgotten in the wake of this disaster.

Your generosity has already saved lives. Please join us again in making a difference for these cats and our community. Every dollar matters. Every act of kindness helps.

Please consider making a donation today to help make sure the animals in our community don't get left behind after this unprecedented disaster ❤

Chrissy, Janet, and Jack were found in the rubble of a home that collapsed during Hurricane Helene last month. We have been in touch with their people (who are luckily safe!) and they have given their blessing for these cuties to find new families. They're sweet, cuddly, and absolutely gorgeous!

We want to send our BIGGEST thanks to The Milk Drunk Foundation for helping our friend Plymouth! Plymouth came to us when he was just days old, with a severely cleft palate that required him to be tube fed and would eventually require a surgery. We were prepared to give him everything he needed... then Hurricane Helene wiped out our hometown of Asheville.

When the hurricane came, Plymouth was only 2 weeks old. He was being tube fed warm formula every few hours and was being kept warm in an incubator as kittens his age can't keep themselves warm without outside help. But then, suddenly:
🚫There was no electricity to keep him warm
🚫There was no way to warm his formula, risking his ability to digest it
🚫And, worst of all, suddenly Plymouth was having to be tube fed in the DARK, making an already dangerous act SO MUCH MORE DANGEROUS

A month after the hurricane, vet care is still so hard to access, and there is no clear timeline on when surgeries will be able to resume as there is still no safe water running through the city pipes.

So when The Milk Drunk Foundation generously offered to take him and make sure he gets the care he needs as he grows, our Director happily jumped in her car and hand-delivered him to Florida. We're so, SO grateful for partnerships like these that help save the most fragile lives ❤

Unfortunately we have a sad update to share about our friend Sweet Tea. He suddenly passed away the day after we met him. We haven't shared before now because his loss was hard on our team along with all of the devastation that has happened in our community due to Hurricane Helene. Unfortunately Sweet Tea's body was too frail and already in the process of organ failure by the time he came to us and there was no amount of supportive care that would have saved him. We have seen many people asking about him, so wanted to give an update. Sorry for the delay, but we hope you will understand our need to privately grieve all that has been lost in our community over the past 3 weeks, including this sweet, sweet boy 💔

We still have no power or water at our Kitten Nursery in Asheville, but yes of course we will take the near-dead kitten and try our best to work a miracle.

Welcome, Sweet Tea ❤️
