Hey, Y'all!

I've been getting asked why we don't post animals back stories. So I wanted to explain.

We believe that when someone decides to surrender that they are doing what's best for their animal(s) and we won't allow people to be criticized or shamed by the general public. It's a really hard thing to go through and we won't permit anyone making it worse.

Additionally, We get animals from sensitive situations that may involve legal issues or that require our discretion and non-disclosure.

That's not saying that we don't get some coming in with heartbreaking pasts. I have even had dead animals surrendered with their cage mates clinging to life by a thread. I see the worst in humans far too often. We nurse them back to health and do everything we can to give them a wonderful life. So we let their past be their past. 🫶

This picture is a shower curtain I want. 😊

Hi, I want to get everyone up to date on things and I have a couple of things that I just need to say. I know that this is going to be a little long but please bare with me and share.

Update on my health:
We are doing MRIs and some other things to get my migraines under control. They are now taking over around 29 days a month.
We just found out that I also have a heart murmur. I have to get a fancy ultrasound before we know what we are doing about it. But this might be the cause of my blood pressure bottoming out and the possible seizures.

With all that being said, we really need donations for the rescue. Any change you can spare would be a huge blessing. My sisters are going to be handling the care of the animals and are taking care of me but we have had nearly no grants this year and many of our regular donors are unable to give any longer. We do not get government funding.

What we need immediately is the Purina kitten food. Some of our litters are being wiened and most of the cats we have are under 1 year. You can have Walmart, Amazon, or Chewy deliver right to us.

Now for the thing I need to say. Someone was offended by something my sister said on her personal page to someone else. Please remember that rescuers are still people. We get upset and say things we don't mean. It's an ugly human trait but we all have it. I'm not making apologies for it or excuses because I think that, even in the raw feelings, we have the right to say absolutely anything we want to say, even if we don't mean it. The rights we have cost the lives of thousands of people who fought and served to preserve them. Don't let that be forgotten.

Thank you all for your love and support.

Our primary specialty is hospice care for senior animals especially ferrets. It seems crazy to me that anyone would put up such a lack of compassion and empathy. Not just crazy but absolutely disgusting.

Happy Holidays!!!
Yep, I have started it. I wait all year for this.

I wanted to remind everyone to check out our Walmart charities profile so you can pick us as your round up Charity AND so you can see the rescue animals wish list/registry for Christmas. 🫶
