Kitty Co. Cat Rescue

🐾❤️This Giving Tuesday, YOU can change a life. ❤️🐾
We’re inviting our community to come together for the cats who need us most.
This has been our toughest year yet - and we don’t say that lightly. We’ve taken in more cats and kittens than ever before, faced challenges we’ve never navigated before, and fought countless battles on behalf of the ones who can’t speak for themselves.
Right now, our team is caring for:
• A cat bravely fighting FIP
• A tiny kitten diagnosed with megaesophagus-a first for our rescue
• Multiple cats struggling with chronic URIs
• Survivors of two ringworm outbreaks
• Dozens of others needing ongoing veterinary care, medication, and daily support
• And we’re still working tirelessly to reopen our building to the public so we can save even more lives
And yet… we show up every day.
Because they need us.
And we can do it -because of you.
Your Giving Tuesday donation directly fuels medical care, full bellies, warm beds, and second chances. Every dollar brings hope. Every share helps a cat find safety. Every act of kindness keeps our small rescue going.

Spotlight Saturday....Linda's Story❤️

Some cats wait weeks..Some wait months...Our Linda girl has been waiting since JUNE of last year.
A whole year of watching other cats get chosen while she sits and hopes today might finally be her turn.

Found and trapped as a tiny stray kitten, she grew up learning the world at her own pace. She’s shy at first (and absolutely hates the carrier..)🤣, but once she trusts you?

🐾She’s incredibly sweet.
🐾She’s affectionate.
🐾She LOVES her humans.

Right now, she’s at PetSmart in Monaca — weeks with zero applications. Not even one.
She’s only 1 year old, great with other animals, and would do best with kiddos 7+ who understand gentle energy.

She’s not asking for much — just someone who sees the beauty in the quieter cats, the ones who bloom slowly but love deeply.

🤍Please consider making her the one you choose.
Apply at kittyco.org/adopt

Let’s not let her wait any longer, give her the Christmas you both deserve❤️

🐈‍⬛❤️😻 IT'S $5 FRIDAY! 😻❤️🐈‍⬛

We have 12 cats getting spayed/neutered this upcoming week, which will cost us roughly $75 per cat 😳

We also have LOTS of bills due such as our $1,000 rent, internet, our $80 dumpster bill, software bills, etc. 😫

And lastly, we have an outstanding $650+ balance due at Akeso Vet Clinic, and we have 4 medical cases undergoing costly diagnostics. Roo here is one of those kitties...

Rescue is incredibly expensive and consistent donations are what keep us going!

Today, we’re asking you, our amazing community, to chip in just $5. That’s the cost of a coffee or an energy drink but together, it can literally change lives. ❤️

🧡🍁 Thanksgiving Update: We Still Need Your Help 🍁🧡

On this day of gratitude, we want to say thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, or sent love to Elf. Your kindness is everything.

Elf is still fighting — and even though he continues to struggle to eat, he is sweet as ever and in good spirits while we wait for his radiologist results and plan of care.

But Elf isn’t the only one needing help right now, and our vet bills are growing quickly:

🐾 Budgie needed an X-ray and bloodwork to understand why his growth is so drastically stunted (Reference pic with his brother Turkey below)
🐾 Roo required a sedated nasal flush on Wednesday to investigate her recurring upper respiratory infections.

With all three babies needing care at once, we are truly feeling the strain. We are still working toward our $2,000 Giving Tree Goal, which at this point may only make a dent, and today — Thanksgiving — we’re asking for your support more than ever.

🍂 There are many ways you can help today:

🍁🧡 THANKS-GIVING TREE FUNDRAISER 🧡🍁
Help us raise $2,000 to save Elf!

As we enter Thanksgiving week, a time for gratitude, giving, and coming together, we’re asking our community to help us wrap our arms around one tiny kitten who desperately needs us.

🌱 Meet Elf.
We took in his momma from the DiNardo Manor hoarding case back in June, and Elf and his siblings were born shortly after. He has always been sweet, playful, alert, and so full of life — a little spirit determined to stay here with us.

But Elf is facing heartbreaking challenges.

At 14 weeks old, he’s only the size of a 6-week-old kitten. He is failing to thrive and is battling multiple serious conditions:
• a severely dilated esophagus and stomach
• pneumonia in his left lung
• fluid in his abdomen
• pain when eating or drinking

His radiographs are being sent to a radiologist this week to determine what’s causing this and whether there’s a path forward. His case may be fatal, and he may be too small for surgery — but we refuse to give up on him. It is likely that he may have a rare condition called Megaesophagus, which is very rare in cats and unfortunately not curable. This would be a first for us at KCCR.

His current vet bill is already over $900, and that doesn’t include the medications and care he will need next.

🍂 This Thanksgiving, we’re creating a Giving Tree of Hope for Elf.
Every donation adds a “leaf” to our tree and gives Elf another chance — a chance at comfort, healing, and a future where he knows nothing but love.

✨ Our Goal: $2,000
Reaching this goal will help us continue his diagnostics and treatment so we can give him every possible chance at survival.

💛 We need our community now more than ever.
If you’re able, please consider donating this Thanksgiving week. Your kindness means more than you know — especially to a little kitten who’s fighting so hard to stay here.
