Not a fun surprise. But this guy was in the right place at the right time. And we have the BEST vet team a rescue could ever hope for.

Burp Reynolds, the catio is closed, sir.
There may be knee deep snow drifts out there, but the wood stove is keeping all the kitties toasty in the cat barn!
I've shared this trick before, but it's one of my favs! Have your cat's sisal scratching posts seen better days? Give em a little trim with clippers! Works great and is super satisfying to do.
It's also $5 Friday and if this tip just saved you hundreds on cat tree purchases, consider making a donation at theranchcatrescue.org/donate
Oh McFly, bless. This boy ain't right. He sure is pretty tho!
He's mostly fine, probably. He's not deaf. You should see his head snap when I open a can of food. But he loves the vacuum and climbs across it on his own. Would make a fantastic adventure cat, but is lacking survival skills.
This trio of brothers came in yesterday from City of Bloomington Animal Care and Control and I can already tell you that I am obsessed with them. Just look at those perfect little orange monsters!! These boys are 8wks old and have Cerebellar Hypoplasia. The motion centers of their brains didn’t develop in utero, making them wobbly. It won’t get worse, but it also won’t get better. As they grow they’ll gain more muscle tone and learn how best to use their wonky bodies. Once we have a better idea of their needs they’ll be available for adoption but with little buddies like this it can take a minute. I’ll update our wishlist soon with some special supplies that will make their lives (and ours) easier. For now they are happy, rambunctious, and absolutely perfect!
They came with the names Norman, Nedry, and Nelson. Do we keep them or do y’all have any suggestions?

Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to do some work around here! It’s about damn time, Beverly!
I’ve been joking about Bev, but her story is really sad. She and her three siblings were born in a mobile home which was moved across town. Unfortunately, their feral mom didn’t make the move with them. Feral Cat Friends tried at both locations to find mom but were unable to. Beverly & Co had been alone for at least two days - possibly more. At around a week old it had a deadly end for her three siblings. Beverly was starving, dehydrated, covered in fleas, dirty, and was getting a respiratory infection. I spent days carefully cleaning and tube feeding her. She got lots of meds and supportive fluids but she’s finally turned a corner and is eating on her own. She’s active, vocal, and surprisingly affectionate for a tiny baby - already purring!
Bev isn’t out of the woods yet, but she’s fighting hard and I’m so proud of this little trooper.

What in The Dark Crystal did I just wrassle away from the cats?! Volume up to hear its angry clicking jaws!
And don't worry, lil friend was released outside mostly unharmed. Physically, at least.

Y’all are amazing! Surgery is fully funded! THANK YOU! My day started at 5:30a literally herding cats. Got everyone ready, on the bus, then was stopped by a train stuck on the tracks like half a mile from our destination. But after an hour delay and traversing some back roads we made it! As a bonus I got to go across one of Indiana’s historic covered bridges which I hadn’t done since I was a kid. I love the click clack of the boards! The cats are in the awesome hands of Dr Lee and I’ll travel back to pick them up this evening.
