***Adoption Pending!***
Princess Consuela still doesn't know why no one's adopted her!
She loves watching her foster mom do water changes on the fish tank.
She's got the biggest belly that she loves getting rubbed!

With an extremely heavy heart, we said goodbye to our little Romeo this morning.

Romeo came into foster at two days old with his sister. His foster worked nothing but miracles keeping him alive, tube feeding for over a week to keep him fed while his body and brain caught up.
As he grew, he was always a little slower but so precious, he melted your heart. He tried so hard to be BIG.

When he was about 5 weeks, his "specialness" became more questionable. We tossed some ideas out there but soon his appearance raised a particular one. Could he have hydrocephalus?
Yes, he did. For nearly a month his doting foster has been researching, consulting with experts in the field. We have compounded special Romeo size medicines to help his condition. While only surgery could ever cure him, we hoped to let him grow so we could potentially explore his options.
That future wasn't in the cards for this adorable, loving little man.

Rescue brings more than kittens to your door. These special cases, oddities...we see more than many vets because of the volume of neonates that come through our doors.

This is where your donations go...helping Romeo live his best life, however short.

Thank you to his foster who went above and beyond for this little CowBoy man. We'll never forget you Romeo.

Are you looking for an all around perfect cat? Meet Winnie!
This sweetie was born on a farm. They actually named her Winston, then when they found a litter of kits they realized he was a she! The owner reached out to us asking if we could take her in, along with her babies, since temps were dropping and she was concerned about the kits living in the barn.
Most farm cats don't mind people, but typically aren't the friendliest, but Winnie seemed like she's been living in a home her whole life. The family has young kids who loved up on her and so now she's the sweetest lady ever. Great at being picked up, LOVES to be petted and getting all of your attention. Been around numerous cats. Doesn't seem to be fazed too much by the dogs at her foster house that she's seen, but hasn't met.
She won't be available to go to her new home until mid-late December, after her kits are fully weened and she's spayed, but we're taking applications now to have a new home lined up!

This week for South Dakota Gives it's all about the data!
So here's some stats about what we've been up to this year!
As of today, we've had 168 intakes.
We've held two alter clinics, and including the one next week, we'll have helped 241 cats get fixed in those 3 days.
For our alter assists and TNR assists we're at 134. That's 134 cats that would not have been able to access affordable spay/neuters and would have continued contributing to the cat overpopulation.
We've had 25 incubator babies (can only fit one litter in an incubator at a time and we have two) and 14 bottle babies.
We were able to help people in 25 different towns (not including our alter clinics).
Not bad for a group that hovers around 15 fosters/volunteers!
But that number would be ZERO if we didn't have the continued support of our community ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We also owe an amazing thank you to our vets for everything they do for not only our rescue kitties, but by extending our reach and allowing us to assist many others outside of our organization.

***Garnet has been adopted!***
Why are black kitties so hard to find homes for?

We get all kinds of reasons...too plain, boring being the most common.
Black kitties are anything but boring. They're sleek and shiny, mysterious and match any décor!

We have some wonderful black kitties that are waiting to show you how perfect they can be.
