💔 Rescue Realities 💔

While I am deeply grateful that people see Kitten Kornher Rescue as a safe haven, I want to share some insights on what our work truly entails. This morning, I received a call about kittens supposedly outside our door. When I went out, I found three young kittens left in a covered crate, labeled “Free Kittens.” Even two sheriff’s deputies were nearby, curious about what had happened. To be honest, this was a total surprise—I had no idea these kittens were here until that moment. We will however take them in and assess them to get them ready for new homes.

Please understand that while I never want to turn an animal away, this isn't how our rescue usually operates. Bringing in a new group of kittens requires careful planning for space, resources, and immediate care. Dropping animals at our doorstep puts them at risk and can overwhelm our capacity to provide them with the best care.

If you find an animal in need or are facing a tough decision about a pet, please reach out first. We’re here to help, but communication is key. Let's work together to ensure every animal has a safe, caring journey to their forever home.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. 🐾

This has been a twist on how I thought my night at the Kitten Kornher Rescue would be. I feed all the cats and cleaned all the cages, went to dinner, and came back for a last check of the night only to find Fiona delivered 6 babies. She had cleaned them but not chewed through the umbilical cords. 2 were in the litter box, 1 was on the floor and cold, and the remaining 3 were in the bed with mom....so off to the vets we went. All seem healthy and the vets and techs took great care of everyone. We are now back and settled in for the night. I am so grateful to have this emergency vet not to far away!

This little chunker has reached a pound! Way to go and keep fighting little Poncho! You are loved by so many. And a huge THANK YOU to Dr Garrity and Boulder Creek Veterinary Clinic for helping to save her life.

🌟 Meet our newest rescue! 🌟
This incredibly sweet, very young black kitten, named Fiona, was brought into our care just the other day, with stunning golden eyes that melt your heart. Although she’s barely more than a kitten herself, she’s already expecting babies of her own. We're giving her a safe, loving space to bring her babies into the world, but it’s hard not to feel sad knowing she’s far too young for the demands of motherhood.
This is one of the many reasons we urge everyone to spay or neuter their pets. It’s heartbreaking to see such a young cat already facing the challenges of motherhood. Spaying and neutering helps prevent more homeless kittens from being born, allowing young cats like her to enjoy their carefree kitten days as they should.
Once her babies are born and weaned, this little sweetheart will be ready for a forever home where she can finally be pampered and enjoy her own kittenhood. 🌸

These three brothers are looking for anew home. They are a bit shy, but with the right person, they will learn to trust and love you forever! They are about 6 months old and will be neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated.

✨ Poncho: A Little Fighter ✨
About a week ago, this sweet 3-week-old kitten, Poncho, was brought to Kitten Kornher Rescue. She arrived covered in fleas, severely anemic, and in need of urgent help. Tuesday, she went to Boulder Creek Veterinary Clinic, where they recommended a blood transfusion as her only hope since we had been doing everything we could at the rescue.
On Wednesday, Poncho returned to the vets, accompanied by her amazing buddy Smudge, who generously donated blood to give Poncho a fighting chance. That's where Dr. Garrity and her team worked with Poncho. There were some tense moments, but Poncho pulled through! The first night was touch and go, but she’s proven to be a little fighter. Every day, she’s showing more strength and determination.
Thank you all for your prayers and positive thoughts! Your support means the world to Poncho and all of us at Kitten Kornher Rescue as we work to give her the bright future she deserves.
Stay tuned for updates on this little warrior’s journey! 💪💜

Update.... she has survived another night! We will keep fighting! Thank you to all those who have helped.
Lil Poncho has taken a turn for the worse. Headed to the vets at 5. I just don't know what else to do for her. If there is anyone who would be willing to donate to her bill, that would be greatly appreciated. You can either Venmo, or pay the vet directly. Taking her to Boulder Creek Veterinary Clinic.

Update on Poncho! She survived the night and is doing well today. She is eating slurry, using the litter box, land drinking the bottle. Keep the prayers coming. We are not out of the woods yet, but she is going strong.

This post goes out to all my friends who wonder why I ignore my phone sometimes, or don't go out on a Friday night, or can't go to last minute invites. Big Grey's little sister has come to join me at the rescue tonight. She was so covered in fleas that when I gave her a bath, the water turned to blood red. She seems to have more energy than her brother did and is eating a little better, but she is not out of danger yet. She is so anemic due to the fleas and dehydrated. Hopefully with fluids and bottles throughout the night She will survive. She is wrapped in my poncho and on a heating pad to stay warm. It will be a long night.

Rescue is hard! Today someone brought a young soul into the rescue. He was cold, dehydrated and weak. I got him set up in a warm bed with a heated pad, prepared a warm bottle, and gave him fluids. I showed him love for hours before his young body just could no longer go on. I know he felt love and warmth, had a full belly, and my husband even gave him a name before he passed. RIP Big Grey! Tomorrow is another day and I will try again with another. Thank you for all of your support in trying to save these little ones!

I had a great time at First Friday outside Kitten Kornher Rescue. Harlow was so personable with everyone who stopped by. And thank you to everyone who donated this evening towards her upcoming eye removal surgery. We are $267 closer, yet we still need about another $1300.

Stop by the Harvest Festival happening this Saturday in Boulder Creek. We will be in the parking lot behind Joe's Bar from about 12-4 and will have some furry little ones available to meet for adoption.

🌟 Cat of the Week: Betty Davis 🌟

Betty Davis has been a true hero in our rescue! This sweet girl arrived at Kitten Kornher Rescue at the young age of 10 months in late March 2024, already pregnant and full of love. She soon gave birth to 5 healthy babies who have all found their forever homes. But her work didn’t stop there—Betty even helped raise another litter of kittens like the nurturing mama she is! ❤️

Now it’s Betty’s turn to find her own special home. She’s been waiting patiently and is more than ready to shower her future family with affection. Could you be the one to give this deserving girl her happy ending?

Betty Davis is:
🐾 About 1.5 years old
🐾 Will be Spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped on Oct 16th
🐾 Loving, nurturing, and ready for her furever family

Help us find Betty Davis the home she’s been waiting for! If you’re interested in adopting or learning more about her, please send us a message! 🐱🏡
