Teamwork makes the dream work!
The rainy season is upon us once more, and with some showers on the horizon, Pam, our AMA supervisor (toddler), and I set out to work. We gathered free materials to create a cozy, dry space for our small colony to enjoy their meals. Thanks for tuning in!
Tomorrow is an important day for us as we take three feral cats and two tame kittens for spay/neuter procedures and vaccinations. As mentioned in our previous update, securing free appointments for the ferals has been challenging this month, prompting us to cover these essential costs ourselves. It is vital to address the needs of these young ferals before they breed further. We kindly ask for your support, as we have consistently contributed to our community over the years. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help us continue this vital work. If a financial contribution isn't possible, sharing and commenting on this post would greatly increase its visibility. Thank you for your support!

Princess Zelda 2008-2024
In February 2023, a 15-year-old FIV+ cat named Princess was left behind at one of our community feeding stations during severe storms. Sadly, she went unnoticed by many, and we believed she would spend her final days with us until a caring family showed interest in her, even adopting a kitten she was closely bonded with. This family provided Princess with the loving home she had always deserved. Despite her difficult past, Princess radiated kindness and affection to everyone she encountered, embodying a beautiful spirit that was too gentle for this world. We are immensely grateful to the family who rescued her, allowing Princess to experience true love and compassion in her final moments. It is our hope that her story inspires others to reconsider their perceptions of cats based on age or health status. Until we meet again, we cherish you, Princess. 2008-2024 🤍
🚨Kody Goat Injury Alert🚨
🚨Kody Goat Injury Alert🚨
Kody was spotted not putting pressure on his front right leg. Upon inspection, I saw that his Coronary band (the area at the top of the hoof that separates the hoof wall from the skin) was slightly separated. This called for a hospital trip. At the hospital we approved x-rays to check for fractures, good news no fractures! Kody also received two injections of antibiotics to prevent infection and a dose of pain medication via IV. Treatment is estimated 10 days which includes confinement, redressing and cleaning out the wound area, and administrating pain medication to keep him comfortable. The vet glued a piece of wood to the opposite side of the injured hoof so when Kody does put weight on that leg the pressure won’t be on the injured side which could prolong healing time.I try to find some humor in it all. Of course, the large animals must have chatted about how Whiskeys got enough attention in the last eleven months. Whiskey must have told Aint Much and Kody some insight to receive this extra attention because now all three require daily medication! Even $1 helps impact our mission! If you’re able to donate towards today’s vet expenses we would be so grateful. All donations are tax-deductible as we are a 501c3.

Friendly Reminder: Foxtail season is back! Did you know? Foxtails are very common in Northern California (where we’re located) and not as common in places like the desert or forest. Today luckily during my feeding route for the ferals I noticed Carly had a foxtail halfway in his eye. I was able to help him and safely retrieved the foxtail in full. Foxtails occur in grassy, outdoor areas. Animals that play in uncut grass are at the highest risk. Animals that do not go outside or that do not have access to grassy areas are at low risk.Thankfully due to feline grooming habits, foxtails are less likely to stay embedded in the skin of cats. However, foxtails commonly get stuck in a cat's eye. Today for example!Please be cautious and actively check your animals regularly if they have access to the outdoors. LGDs tend to hide any weakness as their job is to protect, check them over twice!
I am their voice. I've faced a lot of medical challenges when it comes to rescue but this time it's my own. I wanted to be transparent with my followers and friends about what's been happening behind the scenes here. These past two months have been physically, mentally, and emotionally draining. On December 8th I went to the doctor due to feeling sicker than I ever have been, I was bent over from extreme pelvic pain, weakness, and extreme chills. I was informed I needed to go to the ER because it sounded like ovarian torsion. At the ER every test was run, I was informed that a mass was found in my left ovary and I would need surgery. Talked to the specialist a week later who said they just wanted to do routine ultrasounds on it and only do surgery if necessary. I also got a call in regards to my urine sample stating I had a bladder infection so I started antibiotics. As soon as I ended my antibiotics I brought in the New Year's with laryngitis which was caused by a bacterial infection and I had to be put on two antibiotics because the first one was not effective. After I ended those antibiotics I still was not feeling well, mind you the entire time I was calling women’s health, scheduling appointments, and advocating for myself. I never felt fully myself. I’ve been so tired and off and on pain came and went. They had reason to believe it wasn’t the mass since it was stable (not growing). Fast forward to last Tuesday. I randomly started having lower back pain and pelvic pain with extreme tenderness, so sore to touch my pelvic area. I was seen and immediately was given a steroid antibiotic injection and oral antibiotics to take home to treat my newest condition Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, my uterus now has an infection. This marks the fifth antibiotic in two months that I’ve been on. When I say I’m exhausted I am. After four days on antibiotics and only my tenderness getting better, I talked to a doctor who recommended that I go to the ER. Spent the whole
Did you know? We help manage multiple colonies spread out on 355 acres. It's also a common dumping ground despite the signs we got put up. Abandoning your domestic cats outdoors can be fatal to them due to wildlife and city elements, oh and it is ILLEGAL. Rain or shine our cat feeders are there every single day making sure they are fed and watered. During winter months animals need more food to help retain body warmth.
