Did you know...?

This litter from Chalfont was born with a fever coat.

Very rare and known as a "stress coat"

Happens when mama is sick with fever or stressed during pregnancy .

It has no negative impact and will eventually turn to what their true color will be which is black.

Pretty cool though.

TNR's from Cobalt Ridge Levittown

This neighborhood has many black & tuxedo offspring.
No doubt it's from Big Daddy on the left.

The female was spayed, vaccinated and released back to her origin.
At 1 yr old and less than 5 lbs, she had given birth.
Thankfully she will never endure that again.

The rest of Big Daddy's family was also fixed and returned and are happier than ever.
He will be returning this wknd after his neuter appt.

3 kittens were brought into rescue from this colony.

Adoption fees waived

In an effort to prevent the Chalfont kittens from returning to their colony , all fees waived except microchip registration of $15

It sucks when rescues have to TNR the friendly ones and especially the Littles, but there's just no space.

Everyone knows the black ones are last on the list for adoption. I have some really friendly ones in the group and I'm working with the Torti girl's attitude problem.

They will all be vetted.
References and backgrounds checked.
It's still an adoption, not a free giveaway.

If you are interested in 1 of the 11 kittens that came from this colony, on line 1 of application write Chalfont black kitten.

The Importance of being a foster

Paisley and Pruitt were part of ABL rescue the day they were discovered at 1 day old.
Now they're 9 wks old and this is the first time I'm seeing them.

There was no communication with the foster and she didn't drive and getting her on the phone was always an issue.

When we did speak, it was short 1 word answers.
I absolutely hate lack of communication and now these babies suffered because of it when they could've been getting exposure.
Anyway..

This brother and sister duo were bottle raised and are the only survivors of a litter of 5.
Because the feral mama wouldn't nurse in captivity, we decided to pull them from her but nothing compares the milk of the mother especially during the 1st 10days of life.
But that's another discussion.

Now available for adoption
Levittown location.

I have had enough!

3 calls this month of adopters wanting to give back their cats for spraying after having them for for nearly a year .

You decided to adopt.
You knew that was a 20 yr commitment.
Stop using me or any rescue as a crutch the minute something goes wrong.
There are many reasons for spraying and it is fixable but people are so easy to give up.

Newflash‼️
Females spray too.

Google is at your fingertips. Use that as a guide and work with your vet for options.

Dumping your cat on me is not an option with everything I am doing now.

Chalfont Colony continued

Wrapping it up with 1 kitten left to get.
The conclusion of this project will be a total of 46 cats+kittens.

The first 8 kittens were taken to another rescue.
The 2nd batch of the 5 fountain kittens were taken in by KittyMamas Sanctuary
The kittens currently in my care from this project total 11 and the rest of the adults will be TNR.

Don't wait until your colony gets out of control.

It's been a heck of a week.

I'm gonna need a whole Lotta black cat lovers to make this work

Update on TNR mom's

Granny, Franny ,Dovey and Starling were spayed and returned to their caretaker.

Granny is Mom #1
Franny +Dovey + Starling are Her 1 yr old daughters.

All but Starling came in with litters.
Between them they produced 15 kittens who have all been adopted except Bailey.

None of the adults adapted to indoor life or touch to the degree of being adoptable.

This is them with their feeder, enjoying life.

TNR. R IS FOR RETURN .
Returned to Where they came from and where they are happiest.

As people, we want to save them all.
Sometimes They don't wanna be "saved"

Still available

There has to be somebody out there who sees Skeeter for the magnificent kitten he is.

Handsome, gentle, affectionate, playful,loyal,goofy, funny, friendly and a cuddler.
He runs to greet you with excitement!

Nobody has even come to meet him😔

The problem is when I say he's 12 wks old People want the absolute youngest and smallest at 8 wks old.

😠😫😞

Transport found

7 of the 11 adult cats trapped last night are Black

Until we know who the mama is to this group, they are being bottled fed by Kelly Beckert .

Dawn Price was instrumental in securing these babies.
YouTube never fails when playing kitten sounds. They came running right out from under the shed screaming their little faces off.

Foster home needed‼️ The three black kittens that were rescued the other day are off the bottle and eating on their own. That Foster already has other kittens of mine and we are looking for another home for the next several weeks. If you are interested please comment below

A good Samaritan brought this girl in this morning. She was seen dragging her hind legs and in desperate need of help. Unfixed, unchipped, senior girl Siamese mix from Doylestown. I'm sad to say she was already in respiratory distress. Her front leg was broken and she was paralyzed in hind legs despite no visible sign of trauma. I named her Jasmine and was with her in her final moments. Picture of medical bill in the comments

Carlos is available for adoption! This overly affectionate boy is friends with everyone. Not a shy bone in his body! Chalfont location Adoption fee $75 Application ⬇️

If you like a chatty kitten then Leai your girl. All. Day. Long. Still available. Somebody jailbreak her please

Ozzy is finally up for adoption! It's time this handsome gent gets outta here and finds a home to call his own. Ozzy is approx 5 yrs old, fully vetted and his adoption fee is $100. He will best be suited in a home with atleast 1 other cat, no small children or dogs and a calmer household. He will require a patient adopter for him to adapt to another new environment.

Abby needs a foster ASAP‼️ Supersweet, affectionate, 100% Lovebug, playful, lapcat, loves to be held. BUUUUTTTT This girl is a BULLY! She is scaring everyone and it's not making a good impression for meets. All cats are cowering in corners and hiding to get away from her. Please help

Immediate Foster or adopter needed‼️ Georgie is 100% lovebug lapcat and gentle boy of 2 yrs of age. Fully vetted and tested negative. Sounds perfect except he is a Bully cat. There is no room for such a cat here right now as I'm out of rooms and cages and can't keep him seperated. He is creating chaos amongst the adults and I simply can't have it. Sadly he will be put back in his colony he came from 2 wks ago by Wednesday if a foster cannot be found. He would be able to come back in the fall when more space opens up. Please comment if you can foster Georgie and keep him seperate from your other cats. ADOPTION FEE WAIVED

Volunteers wanted. 1 hour a day or 1 hour a week, there's always something to do.

UPDATE: HER NAME IS HILLARY AND SHE IS THE SWEETEST GIRL. THE EAR IS CAUSED BY AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE KNOWN IN WHITE CATS WHICH AFFECTS THE EARS CAUSED BY ULTRAVIOLET RAYS. WHITE CATS ARE PRONE TO EAR CANCER FROM EXPOSURE TO THE SUN APPARENTLY. Antibiotics started and waiting on vet specialists to return call from my vet after the wknd. Vaccines updated, tested and chipped. Hillary will remain in my care and not go back outside. ----------------------------------------- Cats deserve better than this This is an owned outdoor barn cat I was told not to trap. The owner is delusional. She didn't want anyone fixed. Saw no reason for it. She likes all the babies. She wants to watch the kittens grow up and then after they get big she said I could have them. Change of plans Warning:Graphic pics in comments.

Sign up to become a foster by filling out the application link below. I have 1 cage left and 14 more cats to get this weekend. Check out a small portion of what's going on around here https://petstablished.com/foster_form/50556/generic
