Just another day in Rescue!!

The shelter told me they had a momma with sick babies, so I went to go meet her today. Needless to say, everyone came home with me…. I mean look at these faces, how could I possibly say no. 🥹🤷‍♀️😻
Momma is very sweet, but also incredibly young, VERY skinny and VERY dehydrated. All the babies have upper respiratory issues so we will keep a very close eye on them, weighing twice a day and supplementing their intake as needed. We started everyone on antibiotics and gave them all subQ fluids, B12 and penG to help them out.
My Thanksgiving week just completely changed, but saving babies is what we do no matter the time of year!!! We will be posting names as we get to know everyone, and all 8 of these precious souls will be available for adoption in a couple months!!

11/21/2024

The babies would like to say a very sincere THANK YOU for the donations from our Amazon Wishlist!! Unfortunately Amazon has changed again and no longer allows me the option to send a thank you email. Please know that every item is VERY appreciated and helps us save lives. ❤️🐾

Eye Baby update!!
These sweet beans went to see our partner vets today, and I am very happy with the outcome.

Jaimie came into care with awful ulcers and I was pretty worried that she may lose one or both eyes. The ulcers are healing very well, and while she has some pretty significant scar tissue on her right eye she has vision and no surgery is necessary for her!! She is scheduled to start her forever life with a very lucky family. ❤️🐾

Sploot was born with eyelids that did not fully develop and she also had large eye ulcers. The ulcers have healed well. She has one eye that isn’t properly formed and some hairs that may be an issue down the road. However, since she is doing quite well it was decided that she can wait until she is big enough for her spay, and get those hairs permanently removed at the same time. Smawl will schedule her spay surgery with a specialty vet so that she can get the best care possible. Great news for her, and she is ready to find her forever family! 🐾❤️
Frieda had eye ulcers and one eye that didn’t fully develop. Because that eye is so much smaller than normal it sits deep in the eye socket, and it is not a functioning eye so the vets feel that it is best to remove the eye when she has her spay surgery. This will ensure that no infections develop down the road, and she will be a happy, bouncy one eyed cat! (She is technically a one eyed cat now, since the eye never formed correctly). Smawl will schedule her spay at a specialty vet so that she can get both procedures done at the same time. She is a spunky, confident, happy girl and will make some lucky family VERY happy!
Monty has made a full recovery and he is very excited to find his forever family this Saturday!
These babies are absolute perfection, and I am so honored that I was able to be a small part of their story.

You can meet them this Saturday from 11-3pm at the Smawl Cat Castle. Email [email protected] for adoption info!

It has been an exciting week for the Eye Babies and Hurricane Babies!!! Quarantine is officially over, so Monday morning everyone got a good bath and made the move up to the Kitten Room!!! They have been having good fun exploring all the new toys, climbing cat trees and lots of cuddle puddles.
The Eye Babies are continuing to amaze me; they ALL have sight and while they are still healing they’re doing really well. They are scheduled to see our partner vet on 20Nov, where they will get examined by both the feline expert and the surgeon to see exactly what each one will need.
Monty has made a full recovery, and he looks fantastic. Sploot looks like a totally different kitten now that the ulcers are healed, she is missing some eye lid on both eyes but her eyes are now able to fully close and it certainly doesn’t slow her down a bit!! She is always the first one to climb the cat trees and loves to be up high. Her balance and mobility has improved to the point you cannot even tell that she had any issues! Frieda still has a bit more ulcer healing to go in one eye, but she’s doing great. Jaimie had the worst ulcers so she is taking longer than the rest but she can definitely see. She loves the ball mazes, and is always the first one to greet us when we come in the room.
Milton and Helena are super happy to have 4 new friends to play with. Helena is the sweetest, most polite little girl who will sit on my foot and lightly tap my leg with her paw when she wants attentions. Milton, on the other hand, has a LOT to say about everything and he is not shy about telling anyone who will listen! Thankfully he also has an epic purr motor to balance out the mouth, so he is the full package. 🤣
