Just wanted to give everyone a heads up about our very busy schedule the next few weeks! We'll have so many events for you to come and meet our kittens.

Next weekend you can find us again at SiouxperCon! We'll have a larger space this year and we'll have our petting booths set up again! Heather has been keeping our theme as secret! We're excited to see what she puts together this year.

October 6th we have our painting fundraiser with Black Cat Art Studio! You can find more details about that under our events tab. No kittys at this event (darn Western Mall's rules) but it'll be lots of fun. We had a blast last year.

October 12th we'll be at Roxi & Co from 12-2pm for a fun Halloween event! Bring the whole family!

Lastly on October 26th we'll be at BOTH Pet Smarts; East from 12-3pm and West from 3-6pm.

Cute pics for attention: Coconut "watching a movie" and Macaron and Croissant hanging out.

CUTE ADOPTED KITTY PICTURES WANTED!

We're starting the process of working on our 2025 calender, but we need YOUR TKL alum pics!
Please comment below with your best, high quality picture, with their current name AND their name they had while at TKL if you remember. That will help us greatly while sorting through things.
Last year we had some super cute pictures submitted, but often were blurry or pixeled. Rememeber these pictures will end up being about 4x5 when printed.

Yesterday's post was heavy, so today we wanted to show you the flip side. The why we go through the sad and tough parts of rescue. It's for the successes.
These are all some of our tougher kits we've had this year. Each picture has their story.
We appreciate all the love and support we've received. Every day is a new day and we just have to keep on keeping on because there's always another needy kitten right around the corner.

Normally we like to keep things fairly light-hearted around here because there's so many terrible things that are happening around us on a daily basis, but little soap box rant here from Melissa.

We're exhausted. Physically and mentally. We've lost at least 5 kits this past month. Most just kept losing weight, or wouldn't gain, and no matter what we threw at them, they just couldn't make it.
Heather and Carrie have been dealing with some of their most medically needy kittens ever. One who was losing weight, then started gaining, now not interested in food again. One who can't seem to urinate or defecate, and when she does they're very hard and sticky, and the vet removed 12ml of urine from her bladder the other day. One who's only gained 4 oz of weight in the past month. Two kittens who were born in our care in April now have been confirmed having FIP and are on day 3 of 84 of treatment. Honestly that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Yet we still get people reaching out to us multiple times a week who have found kittens, their cat had kittens and want us to adopt them out, or people needing to surrender adults and asking us to take them.

TNR has officially been legalized in SD, and yet Sioux Falls STILL hasn't updated their ordinance. We need people to spay and neuter their cats, farm cats, and strays. We need more affordable options for people to be able to spay and neuter. We try to help out as much as possible, but it's hard to help others when you have such medically fragile kittens that need close observation.

Here's our FIP cats Scuttle and Uma. We're staying positive since we've had many success in our rescue with FIP cats, but it can be an unpredictable disease.

THANK YOU Roxi & Co! They donated a whole pallet, yes you read that right, PALLET of cat treats! Heather's car couldn't even hold them all so another foster has to go grab the rest! Definitely going to have some VERY happy kitties!

We're just jumping for joy over here. Yesterday beautiful Graziella was adopted!
She came into our care with her mom and siblings 2 years ago. She was in the playroom at Pet Smart East for a while, but she's quite a shy girl so she'd hide around new people and just didn't show very well. A couple saw her while she was there, but they just weren't ready yet for another cat in the house. Now that they were ready, they remembered her and how sweet she seemed and saw she was still available on our website.

Kitten season is such a catch-22 around here. We're innundated with requests almost daily typically from March-Nov for kittens found, pregnant mammas found, etc. But May-Sept we're at our slowest for adoptions because people are busy with summer vactions and activites. So by the time people are interested in adopting, many of our kits are now 6+ months old and people tend to want the little cute kittens. Then all of a sudden they're 2 years old still looking for a home. Just because they're not tiny, doesn't mean they still don't have lots of energy and love to give! Honestly, often it's best to adopt a cat that's a year or two old because they've outgrown the crazy destruction kitten period and are much calmer and you have a much better idea of what their true personality is like.

That being said, congrats Grazi on finally finding your home and we still have lots of amazing cats that are 1-5 years old in our care that are needing to find their forever homes!

Going to take advantage of this rain to do a few indoor things.

I don't often have time or extra hands to document the weekly alter runs or alter projects we're working on but here's a current one.

In early July we were contacted about an abandoned newborn. The owner brought the kitty to our foster and thanks to dedication and prayers...Coconut is now thriving.
But, that's not the end..only the beginning. We said we can't do this again...let's fix that colony.
So, here we are on day 3 of actively trying to catch this group. While they're being fed, they're still semi feral.
Thanks to the owner and family, they've caught 9 kittens and 9 adults. 3 males and 6 females will be altered as of tomorrow.
This is HUGE!
In a small town where people are threatening these cats and 1 already potentially fatally harmed, we hope controlling the numbers will not only keep the cats healthier but allow the community to tolerate them.
So many situations like this exist..in local small towns and even in Sioux Falls.
Allowing uncontrolled/intentional breeding only harms the cats in the end. They overpopulate and become a nuisance. The cats are sickly from constant breeding and fighting as well as illness from breeding and roaming.
I know I sound like a broken record but having kittens is irresponsible on any level in our society. There are so many unwanted animals in the world, adding more only takes away from those who could truly benefit...those without a voice...the homeless, stray, dumped, forgotten.
Be smarter, foster a pregnant mom, fix your cat and don't be a supplier to an on-going problem.

Here are some of our littlest recent intakes to tell you all a BIG Thank You for the Tiki Baby mousse and other supplies.
It's been a rough week trying to keep these kids alive, thriving and headed in the right direction. Most were orphaned, abandoned or weaned too soon.
We offered to spay mothers from one group and the owner wouldn't hear of it.
We are currently working on fixing cats from another location where 6 of these kittens, including Coconut, the white wonder baby, came from.
Kittens are cute, kittens are fun...sure but watching them struggle, disappear or die from illness sure isn't and that's usually when we get them.
Please, SPAY, help a friend spay.
We can't continue to take kittens without trying to stop the source.
Thank you again to everyone who sent donations and all your continued support of our on-going efforts to change the world 🌎...if only for a few.

Baby Stevie is wondering if you could help her out! Stevie came in from a rural tnr project today with her brother and a younger litter from the same colony. At this time Stevie is unable to see out of both eyes. This means her foster momma is sitting and holding her and helping her eat these tiki packets! After Stevie has had some time to grow she will be evaluated for an enucleation (surgical removal) for one or both of her eyes. She is currently too small and underweight for this procedure. If you would like to send her some tiki packets you can find them on our Amazon wishlist and ship them directly to us ❤️ See comments for a video of lunch time!
