I love this small town and how the people connect to help out animals, even the possums. Today I was able to help connect a person who found a baby possum whose mom had unfortunately passed connect with people with Native Animal Rescue of Santa Cruz County to get him to safety! Thank you Jessica Wing Daniel , Amy and Wes.

🚨 Found Cat – Boulder Creek 🚨

This sweet young female lynx point was found here in Boulder Creek. She’s about two-three years old, very friendly, clean (except for fleas), and clearly used to people. She is spayed yet does not have a microchip.

If you recognize her or know who she belongs to, please reach out right away so we can get her back home safely.

If no owner comes forward, she may be looking for a forever home soon. 💜

📍 Found in: Boulder Creek
🐾 Female, lynx point, approx. 1 year old
💡 Very sweet & social, no microchip

This is powerful. ❤️ It perfectly captures both the heartbreak and the resilience needed in rescue

If you’re thinking about getting into animal rescue, here’s something you need to know:

You’ll need armor—not just for the hard work, but for the people.

Compassion alone isn’t enough. You’ll need resilience. You’ll need to remind yourself daily why you started, because the world will test you.

People will cheer when you post a happy rescue story. But when you say no—because your rescue is full, your funds are low, or your team is exhausted—those same voices may turn critical.
They’ll forget the animals you saved and focus on the one you couldn’t take.

Don’t let it harden your heart.

Some will praise your care, your process, your kindness—until they want to surrender a pet and you ask questions or try to help them work through it. Suddenly, you’re the villain.
That’s part of it.

You’ll lose relationships. Some friends or family members won’t understand why you fight so hard for animal rights. Others won’t know how to handle your grief after sitting with a dying rescue all night.
Let them go.

People will call every hour, message you at 2 a.m., expect you to be available 24/7. And when you finally pause to breathe, they’ll say you’re fake, you don’t care.
It’ll sting—but breathe anyway.

Other rescuers will criticize how you operate, even if they’ve never set foot in your rescue. Some will help. Others will just talk.
Focus on the work, not the noise.

You’ll see things you can’t unsee. You’ll witness cruelty. And sometimes, no matter how fast you get there or how much you give, you’ll still lose them.
Those are the nights you’ll cry alone, with no one knowing.

But even in that pain, you’ll keep going.
Because despite the judgment, the burnout, the loss—the work matters.
Every life saved is a reason to continue.

Rescue is beautiful, heartbreaking, and unforgiving all at once. But if you’re in it for the right reasons, you’ll find strength in the heartbreak and purpose in the pain.

Just don’t lose yourself in the process.



For my friends, my partners, my fellow rescuers—this is for you. For everyone who wonders why I don’t answer, why I forget things, why I miss or cancel plans—this is why.
