Just days before Christmas, we want to share a story that reminds us why we do what we do.

Tia was one of three adult cats and a tiny kitten found abandoned on the highway with no food, no water, and no way to survive on their own. Somehow, they did. And somehow, Tia found her way to us.

From the beginning, Tia was painfully shy. She stayed tucked away, watching the world from a distance. We knew she wasn’t “unfriendly”, just frightened. We also knew her perfect home would have to be someone patient enough to let Tia bloom on her own terms.

Then Tia met Ashton.

Within one hour of taking Tia home, Ashton was witnessing something none of us could quite believe. The quiet, withdrawn cat we all knew began to soften, lean in, and trust. It was like watching a switch flip except it wasn’t a switch at all. It was safety. It was connection. It was home.

If you watch the video above, you’ll see it for yourself. This wasn’t training or coaxing. This was love recognizing love.

But the Christmas magic doesn’t stop there.

Not only is Ashton adopting Tia and giving her the forever home she’s waited so long for… Ashton is also joining Storybook Rescues as a volunteer. Because sometimes the ones who open their hearts to our animals end up becoming part of the rescue family too.

This is what Christmas looks like to us:
✨ Second chances
✨ Quiet miracles
✨ And love showing up exactly when it’s needed

Merry Christmas from Tia, Ashton, and all of us at Storybook Rescues 🎄🐾
Some stories really do have the happiest endings.

✨ Gather ’round for a feel-good tale straight out of Storybook… ✨

Once upon a time (okay… two months ago), in the land of Sealy, we were out trapping when we discovered seven teeny-tiny, squeaky little kittens. Barely four weeks old. Pocket-sized. Jellybean-sized. Fairy-dust-sized. 🧚‍♀️🐱✨

They were tiny, but ohhh they were mighty.
Six weeks of potions (okay, meds), spells (okay, vet visits), and nurturing later… they were finally ready for their happily-ever-afters. 💖

But fate, aka a transport van with mechanical issues had other plans. 🚐💥
Their journey was delayed.

And that’s when our heroine entered the story. 🌟
Christina, a graphic artist from New York (by way of Russia), spotted little Kimmie on PetFinder. And BOOM ❤️ love at first swipe.

We told her, “Don’t worry, transport is coming! She’ll be there by the 13th!”
But Christina said, “Nope. My heart can’t wait.”

So what did she do?
She flew from New York to Austin 🛫
She drove from Austin to Ellinger 🚗
And she met me in the middle of Texas to claim her tiny soulmate.

I may or may not have told her she was crazy… (I did!)
But honestly? It takes whimsical magic to recognize whimsical magic. 😉✨

Kimmie, now named Aucya (which sounds like something a princess kitten would absolutely approve of) is already living like royalty. 👑🐾
Christina has sent videos and a photo that belongs on a Christmas card. 🎄💌
(Video fairies have placed them in the comments.)

Some stories write themselves…
Some require a little rescue magic…

And this one ends the same way all good tales do:

And they lived happily ever after. ✨❤️🐾

🎄🐾 It’s beginning to look a lot like… ADOPTIONS! 🐾🎄

Two more cuties found their happily-ever-after today!
✨ Chloe is off to her new life with Renee
✨ Tali (our brave highway-abandoned guy) is now loved and safe with Chrysta

Talk about Christmas miracles! 🎅🏼❤️



Check out the video of Tali in the comments. I think he was saying, “Hurry up and take me home!”

GIVING TUESDAY: READ THIS. IT MATTERS.

Btw: this is a photo of our kitten and its adopter!!!!!

✨🐾💛

Today isn’t just about giving.
It’s about what happens next.

Because when an animal is abandoned on the side of a county road…
When a senior calls us whispering that they can’t afford to feed the pets they love…
When kittens are born in a tractor shed during a storm…
When a horse is starving…
When a family is overwhelmed and embarrassed to ask for help…

We show up.

Not because it’s easy.
Not because we have room.
But because someone has to and somehow, every single time, we figure it out.

This year, Storybook Rescues has helped:
• Cats
• Kittens
• Dogs
• Horses
• Minis
• Goats
• Wildlife
• And people, because often the heart you save is attached to the animal you rescue

And we’ve done it all on grit, grace, faith, and the belief that compassion still wins in this world.

But the truth is:
We can’t keep doing this without you.

If you’ve ever said, “I love what Storybook does…”
If an animal of ours has ever made you smile, cry, or believe in good again…
If you want to make a difference that is real and immediate…

👉 Today is the day.

Your Giving Tuesday donation doesn’t disappear into a large organization.
It turns into:
• A spay/neuter appointment
• Lifesaving vet care
• A warm barn stall
• A trap for a desperate colony
• A second chance, right here in rural Texas

It becomes a living, breathing rescue story and you get to be part of it.

🚨 Important Community Announcement: Outdoor Cats Are NOT Plotting Against Us 🚨
They’re just living their lives… and occasionally judging our lawn décor. 😼

Let’s clear something up:

Most outdoor cats aren’t sick, wild, dangerous, or forming a tiny feline mafia.
They’re just out there vibing, sunbathing, and minding their fluffy business.

BUT, and here comes the teachable moment 👇

💥 The real chaos starts when they’re NOT fixed.

One unfixed cat → turns into a community-wide kitten explosion → turns into your shelter crying in the walk-in freezer → turns into “Why does my porch now have 11 cats??”

Enter: TNR

(Trap–Neuter–Return, aka Fix the cat, save the world.)

🐈 Trap: Bribery with tuna.
✂️ Neuter: Snip-snip, vaccines, ear-tip = glow-up.
🏡 Return: Back home — but now without the urge to make 47 kittens.

Why TNR works like magic:

✔️ No more kitten factories
✔️ No more late-night love songs
✔️ No more spraying competitions
✔️ Happier cats. Happier neighbors. Happier everything.

And the best part?

Fixed outdoor cats live perfectly good lives outdoors, especially when community caretakers help with food and monitoring. Very few ever need to be euthanized for medical reasons.
Translation: They’re tougher than all of us.

🙅‍♀️ If you’re not going to TNR…

At least let them live.
Because killing healthy cats isn’t “population control,” it’s just cruel and outdated by about… 50 years.

🐾 Support TNR.

🐾 Support community cats.
🐾 Support the humans who care for them so they don’t have 400 kittens in your flowerbed.

Brock has found his forever human! Christopher scooped him up, and now neither of these boys will ever spend another holiday alone. Something tells me Brock is about to be rocking a giant red Christmas bow any minute now. 🎀😹

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

I want to share a note and photos we received from an adopter today. Messages like this never get old, and I’m happy to say we receive many. Every single one reminds us why we do what we do and how deeply your support matters.

From the $10 monthly donors to the larger gifts, your generosity truly changes lives. It means the world to our animals. It’s humbling to have this kind of steady, heartfelt support behind Storybook.

From all of us at SBR: Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you for caring about our mission. I say it often, but I can never say it enough how grateful and appreciative I am for each and every one of you.

May your day be filled with laughter, love, and the reminder that you are special. ❤️🐾

I have copied and pasted the adopters message in the comments.

UPDATE

Another truly fairytale ending for Smithers. Actualy I dislike the word ending… it’s a new beginning! He has found his princess who will give him the kingdom he truly deserves. Thank you Caitlin for adopting!



This sweetheart didn’t grow up outside — he grew up loved.
Somehow, he ended up alone and struggling… but he never lost his gentle heart.
He deserves a warm home, a soft bed, and a family again.
Please consider opening your home — or share to help him find one. ❤️

Seven tiny house panthers just checked into PetSmart Brenham, and honestly… they’re already running the place. 😼💥
Hand-raised, sugar-sweet, and apparently training for the Kitten Olympics because this play session was WILD. 😂🐾
Come meet your new favorite mini-panther before someone else falls in love first! 🖤✨
