** Surrenders Alert **

The calls for surrenders due to people moving and not being able to take their cats with them is more than 60% of our volume and has been growing since the pandemic. We simply cannot take this volume of adults as we have very few adult fosters (people want kittens). Most people call with at least 2 all the way to 5 or even 10. Surrender requests are far outpacing stray requests.

The second largest reason is surrender due to illness and death.

Please consider these things if you want to be part of this solution and the overcrowding of shelters that results in euthanasia of animals both cats and dogs:

1. Have a living estate will for your animals. Unfortunately many people make assumptions that their family will take their pets and care for them. We are sad to report this reality to you- this is rarely happening from where we are. No matter our age or current health condition we must ALL be prepared. Have a conversation and get it in writing. There are many online tools.

2. If you manage or own rental housing please understand that your housing limitations are creating a crisis. With the case of cats, as long as cats are spayed and neutered the incidence of spraying is low and even IF this is usually to the detriment of furniture clothing etc and not to the actual living quarters. Flooring, especially wood floors, can be easily cleaned using the right product. Cats generally cause much less destruction than dogs. Require spay/neuter instead ans be a big part of the solution.

3. If you are moving please try to find pet inclusive housing. Put these parameters into your search and only allow it to pull back options that let your animals go with you. We make commitments to our animals when we adopt and always need to realize that this is somewhere around a 20 year commitment.

4. Please consider to foster adult cats. Cats often hiss and growl at first but will acclimate with time. This is their natural instinct, but how they react when meeting is not an indication of whether or not they will get along. It takes adult cats days, weeks sometimes months to acclimate.

5. Adopt, donate, share this post.

The saddest part of losing a cat is the silence they leave behind. Even if they only walked into our hearts for a few short weeks, their unconditional love leaves a void.

No more gentle purrs, soft paw steps, or warm snuggles.

Rest in peace, our dear Chloe. You will be forever loved. 🐾 ❤️

Hazel escaped the Huntsville lawn cages that you might have seen posted about several months ago. She's been waiting for her forever home a while now and she wants to tell you a little bit about herself:

😇 I'm a couch lounger, and very low maintenance
🐦 I'm an expert bird chatterer so I will make you laugh
💋 I only require ear scratches and butt pats.....often 🤣

One more thing: she's got her mamma belly on in this photo and wants everyone to know she's slimmed down 😍 😹

🔥 Smokey Update 🔥

Smokey is on his long road to recovery. Before anything else, we want to thank his amazing foster Tiffany Griggs Tiffany Griggs for caring for him 24/7. Fostering is a selfless act of love, and she has gone above and beyond, acting as his full-time nurse thankfully having the medical skills to help him through this period.

Smokey currently has multiple bandages that are changed at least twice per day. His wounds were oozing and had to be debrided to heal correctly. He takes various medications each day, some to stave off infection, and has a healing cream placed on his skin. You can see in the photos that Smokey is now a little pink, which may seem alarming, but this is his new skin forming and healing. Soon his soft orange fur will grow back!

When Tiffany first took Smokey home, he was shivering and couldn’t seem to stay warm. She decided to put him in her incubator (she has one for “bottle babies”), and Smokey finally curled up to relax and went to sleep. Now, he often sleeps in the incubator and may do this until his fur grows back and he can regulate his temperature.

What’s more amazing is Smokey’s attitude. No matter what he has gone through and continues to go through, he just wants to be loved on. He has an incredible appetite and takes his meds like a champ! We think Smokey is thankful and knows he’s being nursed back to health. He can feel the love from the moment he was first picked up, from the emergency clinic, from his foster, and from ALL OF YOU 🥰.

What’s next for Smokey? He has a few weeks to a couple months of recovery. Once he’s healed up and ready, we will begin to look for his forever home. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and love for Smokey ❤️❤️‍🩹.

Honey is asking why she's not adopted yet. We don't know what to tell her.

She says she's sweet and all she really wants is to curl up in her favorite spot on the couch every day, or to bask in the sun mid-day on her balcony. Her affectionate nature and gentle purrs will melt your heart if you meet her.

Honey has spent a portion of her life outdoors and would love a catio or safe space outside.

Did you know that female orange cats are rare? 80% of orange cats are male!

Male cats need only one orange gene from their mother to be orange. Female cats, however, require two copies (one from each parent) for the same vivid hue.

🐈 AXL is waiting up at Petco for his family 🐈

Axl was catting around in Bella Vista and living the bachelor life. Some good samaritans found him and decided it was time for him to settle down and find a family. We agreed.

This guy is a pretty large cat and just 3 years old. He loves attention and he’s also relaxed, easy going and chill. He has a battle wound on his nose that is healing and a deep meow that got him named after Axl of Guns ‘N Roses. He’s been enjoying his Petco introduction lounging in the catnip so he may be even more relaxed than normal 😂🌾.

Axl has been outdoors his whole life so we don’t know how we will do solely indoors. He will be the best cat for whomever takes him home.
