Ash is developing those Cursed Victorian Child (tm) eyes. I canā€™t quite capture how pale they are, they look crazier in person. We are at with Ash and Blinkin - nothingā€™s wrong, just a checkup! Itā€™s Blinkinā€™s first vet visit and I want to ask about Ashā€™s possible need for a prosthetic. Maybe sheā€™ll be fine without one, but Iā€™m still concerned about long term bone/joint strain from walking lopsided. As for Blinkin, Iā€™m not sure whether he has small, deformed eyes or none at all- weā€™ll see! He wonā€™t, though. šŸ„

Obligatory Blinkin posting. Look at him. Not a care in the world. He has already learned how to climb out of the playpen and fling himself into the void- aka the like 2.5ft to the floor, but can you imagine just leaping blindly off a ledge with no idea what was in front of or under you? What a brave little dummy.
Heā€™s gaining a little weight, too. Gotta chonk him up, heā€™s all fluff no meat.

Do you want to adopt? Support the rescue? See our kitties? Hereā€™s our linktree!

Itā€™s posted in every bio, but Iā€™m trying to remember to post it directly in the feed more often for visibility.
Be sure to check out our PetFinder page! We just had 3 of our kiddos that were on there adopted but will be updating it in the next few days. We have 13 more cats and kittens to list. It never ends, but we love them all ā™„ļø

Linktree. Make your link do more.

šŸšØ SOS šŸšØ
Fellow rescuers and rescue supporters:
Terramycin, an antibiotic eye gel, is going to be regulated from Jan 1 onward and move from being OTC to prescription. This is our most-bought medication. It is used to treat a variety of eye infections, and eye issues go hand in hand with the URIs that are so painfully prevalent in cat colonies. A huge percentage of the cats that come through our doors have some kind of URI or eye issues and Terramycin is a lifesaver.
When we can no longer get this medicine OTC, we will have to pay an exam fee for every single cat just to get it. Given how often we use this, that means vet bills- which we are already thousands behind on from this year- will greatly increase again.
On top of that, I often use Terramycin to treat cats in the colony I manage that I canā€™t quite get into a carrier and to the vet. They trust me and me alone enough to be medicated, but getting them to the vet would require gabapentin or a suit of armor, one of which is *also* prescription and one I donā€™t have (but very much want, letā€™s be honest).

With this news, Terramycin has bumped its way up to our most-needed item on the list of wishes. Weā€™re just going to stockpile as much as we can.

Our info is our bio for how to help- any donations to the vet bill fund are also GREATLY appreciated.

Please welcome our newest kiddo, who our Minister of Names has dubbed Blinken- a nod to Robin Hood: Men in Tights, because Mel Brooks is a national treasure. One of our forever cats is named ā€˜Abby Normalā€™ in another Mel Brooks homage.
Heā€™s very sweet and social and loves attention and being held. Heā€™s easily startled, understandably, and doesnā€™t like being held without his feet supported. He might be able to see shadows but thatā€™s about it. Weā€™re guessing heā€™s about 6-7 weeks old.
Weā€™ll be taking him in to the vet next week Tuesday but he seems to be in great health- he was born like this. Iā€™m 99% sure that he was raised inside and dumped due to his condition. Heā€™s too clean and friendly to have been born outside. Whatever his story is, heā€™s safe now, thanks to Lourdes and her quick action.

Soā€¦ you know how I said we were closed to intakes? Well, obviously, there are exceptions lol. This sweet baby with bilateral microphthalmia was dumped at the antique mart I vend at. My dear friend Lourdes, who owns the shop, has been active in rescue for DECADES- thatā€™s how we became friends. I went to shop for antiques, saw her traps outside, got to talking, and now weā€™ve been friends for a couple years. The problem with being known as a cat lover/rescuer is that people think itā€™s just fine to dump defenseless animals on your property without asking and without notice.

How sh*tty of a person do you have to be to leave a BLIND ANIMAL outside alone to fend for itself, assuming the property owner will find them and figure it out?

We are also planning to take in a litter of five 3 week olds and one single 4.5 week old from soon- one of our best fosters and most dedicated volunteers wanted kittens. Sheā€™s the queen of weaning and babies are her forte. Iā€™ll post pics as soon as we have them, of course!

We are running low on wet food, so thatā€™s our most needed physical item at the moment. For once weā€™re doing alright in litter, thatā€™s shocking šŸ˜…

Thank you all so much for supporting Odd Paws- it means the world to us that there are people out there that are as invested in the survival of these kitties as we are. We wouldnā€™t be able to help them without you.

Unintentionally glorious shot of Ash and her little nub. Sheā€™s upright and mobile on all fours now, so weā€™ve been able to see how she reacts to the nub- and sheā€™s using it just like normal, except itā€™s 2/3 the size of her other legs so sheā€™s lopsided.
Sheā€™s not bothered by this at all, but I worry about long term issues like arthritis & pain from the strain on her body by moving like this, so weā€™re looking into prosthetics.

We donā€™t understand how Taco and Chimichanga are still at with *ZERO* applications. They are such a playful, sweet pair! Their siblings Burrito and Taquito are still in foster- they would love to find a home together.

This is not a sponsored post, just a PSA that this rescue runs on and theyā€™re responsible for at least two of our brains functioning at all some days.
Also, Ash loves that her namesake is on the best flavor.
Seriously, though, Catfight makes the most delicious coffee I have ever tasted, and I have tried more coffee than any sane person should. Do yourself a favor and snag some!

Happy Gotcha month to my main man, the three legged wonder, the reason I stop my car to make sure roadkill isnā€™t alive and check suspicious trash on the roadside, a living reminder to always always honk your horn or knock on your engine hood before driving in cold weather, Ozzy! Our best guess is that he was in someoneā€™s car engine and fell out on the Autobahn.
Four years later, heā€™s thriving in a new country and inspiring an entire rescue dedicated to helping little odd-shaped beans like him.

Our wonderful foster/volunteer took some cute pics of Burrito and Taquito at the PetSense adoption event. They looked so cute in their little outfits šŸ„¹
This is how they pay their rent at the rescue- they must dress up.
Burrito, Taquito, Taco, and Chimichanga are still looking for their forever homes- the whole Mexican food gangā€™s still here! Is one of these little love bugs your soul cat? šŸ‘€
