Welcome to F&C kitties!! I don't think you'll be here long!

I call this- "A Whole New Pup!"
This boy continues to amaze us with his ability to navigate and the happiness he's exhibiting now that those pesky painful eyes are out! I'm guessing he's going to Chicago next transport, so get ready! Go, Huck, GO!!!!!

We've had a lot of amazing adoptions this week, which we'll post soon, but more importantly, our boy Huckleberry was cleared for surgery! We found out that his one eye was severely injured and the other eye was destroyed by glaucoma, rendering him completely blind. We had both of his eyes removed and he immediately feels better! This boy is the sweetest pup you'll ever meet. He's housebroken and loves all people, cats and dogs that he meets. Thanks to your generosity, Huck will live a pain free life of pure joy! He will make his way to F&C once he's healed up, so if you're looking for a great dog, let me know!

We seem to have this phenomena in Alabama where our male FIV+ cats turn into Mama's to our orphaned kittens. In a room full of beds, hiding places and other cats, Cap, Bottle and Frogger prefer to snuggle up, and even suckle the arm of. our guy Jitterbug. We also have our fair share of photo bombers, too....

Hi everybody. I cannot thank you enough for the kind words, good wishes and compliments you gave us yesterday. My staff and I appreciate you so very much and are constantly uplifted by your generosity and support. Thank you.
Now as I like to say, back to business.
This is Jellybean. She’s about 11 years old, 14 pounds and a very happy and healthy pup! She was in a home whose woman is now in assisted living and could not take her with. She’s lived with another dog, will go outside and use a p*e pad inside and is cuddly as can be. Please email [email protected] to meet this cutie pie and I’ll set it up. xo.

I cannot believe I am writing this post.
On Monday late afternoon I got a text from our Medical Coordinator that Cakepop was looking kind of "p***y". If you don't work in animal welfare, that's the broad
term used when something just isn't quite right. She was put in a cage in Iso and we were watching her behavior and ins/outs.
She was cuddled up in bed resting comfortably and had eaten a good dinner.

To our shock and horror, Tuesday morning she was deceased.
I keep going back to these points in order to try to make myself feel better.
1- She came in a sh*tshow and has known nothing but love and kindness since the moment we met her.
2- She was in a safe and comfortable space and passed in her sleep
3- She would have died a painful and slow death on the streets if she didn't make her way to us

While all of these things are true, and I understand that we never knew of her genetic make up, we're destroyed in a way that only comes from giving your entire heart and soul and thinking you have a win.
Please send good thoughts and healing vibes to my staff at F&C. They work and love tirelessly and endlessly and every animal who crosses their paths is much luckier because of it.
Yesterday we got a reminder that rescue can take you on the highest highs and deliver the lowest blows on the same day and it's incredibly unfair.
Peace,
Abby
