A last-minute rescue to close out our weekend.
Even though I’ve been sick and trying to recover, a neighbor’s post stopped me in my tracks she was giving away three kittens for free. As many of you know, we are broke… scraping together every penny just to care for the animals already in our rescue. But when babies are in danger, saying no just isn’t an option.

She explained that she had been feeding the kittens and their mom in her garage, but she was genuinely terrified of cats and couldn’t keep them there any longer. Her 92-year-old mother had been helping too, but they simply couldn’t keep up. This was already the mom’s third litter, and some of the previous kittens had tragically passed away from unknown causes.

Even feeling like absolute crud, I knew I wasn’t going to let any more kittens die.
So we drove over and picked them up:
Three tiny kittens and their momma are now safe, warm, and finally off the streets.
We’ll also be helping her get the remaining two cats altered so this heartbreaking cycle ends once and for all.

Rescue is hard, messy, exhausting, and financially draining but these little lives are worth every sacrifice. ❤️🐾

If you’re able, please consider donating. Every little bit helps us continue caring for vulnerable babies like these and gives us the ability to say YES when another life needs saving.

People tell us all the time that they want to help..... Here is one easy way to do that that is super impactful for our needs right now.

The most important thing that we need right now is specific food for our animals with spacific needs.

I often tell people the most impact you can make outside of a monetary donation is to create a food drive amongst yourselves. We don't have to be involved and you can do it however you want. You just have to create a food drive with your friends and families and colleagues. You promoted, you can let people know it's for us, you collect the product and then we will coordinate the drop off. We have had many , many very impactful people do this for us , including scouts: a couple of teens have made it part of their eagle scout project, people have done this as a work project on their own, people have also created one to do with their friends and family. This is definitely a more impactful way to do it than just share our needs on our post.

Let me know if you need any guidance or thoughts on doing something like this. You don't even need to ask permission from your job or anybody, as long as you're doing it yourself and you're collecting all this items and working with us to drop off and deliver.

For the dogs,

We had our second photo shoot yesterday in hopes of bringing in funding for ebarr.

3 family's purchased a mini session and got pictures taken. The photographer Kristin Minorgan-Pinto also donates her time and skill to photograph to help promote the animals for ebarr.

I've personally had several of my dogs photographed with her and
Chauncey Andre Chub-Chub Martinez
as some of you know , is my new edition. Some of you saw Chauncey being posted very , very quickly , and then kind of disappeared off our page. Because bulldogs have a way of wiggling into your heart, and I could not resist.

LOOK AT HOW FRICKIN CUTE THESE ARE!!!!!
For all of you that missed out, let us know if you are still interested. In the meantime , enjoy my big meatball.

As promised, a wonderful update for Charlotte.

I went out and picked up Charlotte today from her medical foster and delivered her to the people that stepped in and found her that very cold morning and ultimately broght to to Antioch Animal Services where we were alerted. We adopted Charlotte to her original finders.

Of course she remembered the people who saved her and she remembered her doggie brothers Tyson and Rocky.
She walked in the house and acted like she had never left, she was happy to be home.

It was OK for Charlotte to move on, while lil Hope is only 3 weeks old. Charlotte has not produced milk and was more interested in the other dogs and people than lil Hope. And that is just fine.It's time for Charlotte to shine.

Is happiest of tales to Charlotte and her family.

* Remember rescuers, want the best for the dog, and sometimes they can't be adopted out to the general population and have to be pulled by a rescue. However , that does not mean that's the end of the line for a good samaritan who found the dog and did the right thing by bringing them to the shelter. We always try to search out the finder and talk to them, we always wanna know the back story, and we're always thankful for those of us in the community that stops what they are doing , especially at three thirty in the morning to help animal in need.

I will post a positive little update for Hope later

Here's a link where I explain how she was found detail

We got word about a little wobbly kitten at the Solano County Animal Shelter who had been placed up for general adoption.
The issue? While the shelter means well, they simply don’t have the capacity to properly educate adopters about special-needs kittens—especially those with neurological conditions. And without that crucial education, these babies often end up confused, mishandled, or returned. That’s where we step in. ❤️ Our role is to advocate for these special kitties, educate adopters, and make sure they find the homes that truly understand them.

✨ Welcome Salsa!
Salsa is a sweet three-month-old kitten with mild to moderate cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), often called wobbly cat syndrome. While CH affects coordination and balance, it doesn’t stop these cats from living full, joyful, adventurous lives. CH happens when the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for balance, coordination, and fine motor control—doesn’t fully develop. Their balance may be off, they may wobble, fall, or move a bit differently, and their brains simply process movement signals a little slower. But what they lack in coordination, they more than make up for in heart. CH cats are happy, playful, affectionate, and incredibly resilient.

We spend a few weeks assessing all of our wobbly kittens before making them available for adoption. This helps us understand their comfort levels, identify their challenges, and learn what kinds of support or accommodations they may need.
One of the biggest mistakes we see is people treating CH kittens as fragile or keeping them confined, which actually slows their development.

The best thing for them is to live like normal cats—with a little help and a lot of encouragement. They learn, adapt, problem-solve, and surprise us every single time.

If you’d like to support Salsa and the other special kitties in our care, you can visit our Amazon Wishlist:

Thank you for helping us give these wobbly wonders the chance they deserve. 💛

Minnie Mouse had a photo shoot today to bring awareness, she's been with us for over two months and would love to find a forever home.

2.5 year old Mini Mouse

This little spunky 21 lb frenchie girl will keep you smiling. She's had exposure to kids and met other dogs today and didn't seem to have a problem.

No medical issues.

Minni is a enthusiastic, busy and full of energy so we would prefer her to be in a home with children over the age of 8.

If you are interested in Mini Mouse
Please go to our website at Ebarr.org
Find and fill out the application and return it to [email protected]

Please remember that Ebarr requires the adoptor to have pet insurance on any frenchies, bulldogs or bullies.

Happy Thanksgiving!
We are so thankful to all the animal rescuers,
To all the medical staff who help us do what we do,
To all the good samaritans who stop to help an animal in need,
To all the pet parents who keep them even though it's hard,
To all the people that say it's only one more,
To all of our adopters,
To all of our donors,
To all of those that stop by our houses and drop off a bag of food when we didn't even ask,
To all of those who send us costco, chewy, and Amazon orders,
And to all the animals that hold on until they can be rescued and turn out to be our biggest blessing and we cant even imagine our lives without.

Sometimes rescue throws curveballs we never saw coming. One of our dedicated fosters was scrolling through Marketplace when she found a post offering two six-month-old cats for free. Immediate red flag. Free animals are far too often scooped up by the wrong people—yes, even abusers.

She didn’t hesitate. She messaged the poster, arranged pickup, and prepared a full quarantine setup in her home. But when she arrived, she discovered something no one mentioned: both kittens were covered in ringworm.

For anyone who hasn’t dealt with ringworm before, it can feel overwhelming. It’s highly contagious, stubborn, and its spores cling to anything they touch—making it easy to spread to other animals, kittens, and even humans. It’s a true zoonotic disease. And this foster? It’s her first time dealing with it. Scary, right?

But she didn’t back down. With the right tools, education, meds, and support, she jumped in headfirst to give these girls the care they desperately need.

This is exactly why we enforce a strict 14–21 day quarantine period for every new intake—because situations like this happen more often than people realize.

We don’t have names for these sweet girls yet, but their foster is already head-over-heels and will surely find the perfect ones.

✨Itrafungol oral medication is pretty expensive but we prefer to use this over dips as its less traumatizing to our cats and more effective. Please help us continue stepping up for animals who have nowhere else to go. Animals treated like they’re disposable until someone finally shows them they’re not. Every share, donation, and word of support keeps us going.
