This , remember the adorable and deserving cats and kittens who rely on donations from people like you! We work hard to keep kittens like Jack and Jonathan off the streets and adopted into loving homes. Rescue work is a community effort, and we appreciate the support of our followers more than words can say!

Thank you for any amount you can give, even if it's just $5!

(Please also like and/or share this post if you can).

Happy Holidays!
Sincerely, Janine and Donna

Is Tippytoes not the perfect name for this guy? Toes for short. Tippy for short. It just fits, I think. He's awaiting adoption. Loudest purrer ever. Please like and share. Application here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfs4vA9xkhZN7YEwN6Nqv4uor3swomN5e4ZZ9DYazC_RkiQUA/viewform

The Happy Stripes foster home is full. No more rescue work can occur until we find homes for a dozen kittens. Please spread the word! Especially to black-cat lovers -- we have nine of those in three age groups. You can also visit to help socialize and photograph the kittens. Just email us at [email protected].

Black beans! Three little boys will be available next month -- James and Jonathan are fuzzy, while Jack has short hair. They are precocious kittens, keeping up with older foster cats. Their pregnant mom, still a kitten herself, was rescued from the streets of East Cleveland in late August. Submit an application at happystripes.org

Hattie is the opposite of spooky black cat for Halloween. Dressing as a ghost? She is a fun, fully vetted, 4-month-old sweetheart. She has a calico sister, if you are needing two!

EMERGENCY FUNDS NEEDED.

Two kittens were found yesterday freezing, sick, and lethargic at a farm in Carroll County. Now with Happy Stripes, they are receiving around the clock care and need supplies such as high-quality kitten food and formula, nutritional paste, eye drops, and likely, antibiotics. Any assistance you can provide is much appreciated!

Thanks all! We will keep everyone posted on their progress.

**If you cannot help financially (we get it!), please like and/or share this post for attention.**

What happens when two brothers outgrow their favorite basket in the window? These 5-month-old guys are ready for adoption -- neutered, vaccinated and FeLV/FIV negative. Panda and Tippy Toes love each other and other cats. Panda fetches his plastic spring. Jumps on your lap for another toss. Toes stretches out in the bed next to you like he's a little person.

UPDATE: The eye exams were today, Oct. 21, and the specialist veterinarian said both kittens need no follow-up care, and the damage isn't a serious impediment to their vision. Adopters won't have to worry about future vision problems related to this issue. The bill was $408.80, so any donations are greatly appreciated!
----------
Hello supporters, we have to ask for assistance again for two kittens who suffered damage to three of their four eyes because they had antibiotic-resistant eye infections soon after birth. The infection is gone but we need to see a veterinary eye specialist to determine whether any of the damage can be lessened. The exams will cost $225.50 each. That's $451 minus a 20 percent discount for nonprofit groups. So, $360.80. That's our goal. Please like and share this post to help us reach it before their appointment next month. Bop and Boo thank you!!! (Sister Bee shed the infection quickly and escaped eye damage.)

UPDATE: Olla was adopted today, Aug. 26, by a nice older man who recently lost his old cat. Perfect happy ending to her sad story! ---------
Beautiful, old lady cat needs a home or foster. Her owner died and this lifelong housecat got tossed outside, WITH NO FRONT CLAWS!!! Please like and share so we can find her a place to call home, again. UPDATE Aug. 19: Her bloodwork today showed no problems! Kidney, liver fine. No diabetes. Estimated age of 8-10. Located in Medina, Ohio.

Calico kittens! Meet them now and take them home the end of the month after their spay. Mom is a young white and orange cutie, too. Please like and share. Application at happystripes.org

Three sisters need people visitors to help with socialization. Two dilute calicos and a mostly white kitten were born in late June to a friendly mom. Now it's time to socialize and learn to eat Churu! If you want to help work with them at their Medina-area foster home, please let us know. They need a good photographer, too. (Foster mom has a cheap phone,)

Bee, Bop, and Boo are ready for their furever homes!

Upon birth, they all had horrendous eye infections and almost lost their eyes. Thank goodness for our AMAZING foster mom, Donna, for treating and saving their eyes. Two of the kittens do, however, have some scar tissue but that doesn't hold them back!

All three kittens are rambunctious, social, and of course, hilarious to watch.

If interested in any of them, please submit an adoption application here: https://www.happystripes.org/adopt

If unable to adopt at this time, please like and share this post so we can get it boosted! Thank you all!

Black kitten lovers: I've got three 9-week-old beauties, two girls and a boy, who will be neutered July 16. Adopt them the next day. Bee, Bop and Boo, born to a feral Siamese-mix mom, have great personalities. Can you see Siamese in the shape of Bee's face? I have not been able to find a toy or perch they don't enjoy. They also are good with older cats. Please spread the word! The foster home is near Medina. You can fill out the application here: https://www.happystripes.org/adopt

Panda loves to have a seat on my desk. He's a smart, healthy 3-month-old kitten. Neutered last week and ready for a new home. Text Donna, 330-635-1230, to meet him and his brother in the Medina area. FIll out the application here: https://www.happystripes.org/adopt Please like and share!

You can probably figure out why this kitten's name is Tippytoes. He was neutered June 18 and is ready to stroll into his new home. He is a gentleman and an excellent purrer. Please like and share! Adoption applications at happystripes.org

Hello Happy Stripes army! We are in need of some help in supporting a momma cat who was pulled off the streets of Cleveland by some AMAZING college students.

This momma cat is just a kitten herself; she is literally skin and bones. She was struggling so much that even being inside with the college students, she still habitually jumps into the trash can to look for food, even though there is a bowl full of delicious cat food available to her.

To top it off, she is sweet as pie and has done a great job keeping these kittens alive and thriving given the circumstances.

We'd like to plump this momma up with top quality cat food and calorie dense nutritional paste so she can continue feeding her kittens without depleting her own energy.

Will you please contribute to her care? Thank you!

06/07/2024

Panda and Tippytoes will be ready for adoption June 19! (And their brother Muddy Mudd Mudd.) They were born in late March to a feral mom in the Portage Lakes neighborhood. Mom has been spayed and happily returned to her turf, where a human mom and her sons are feeding her. These boys are perfect in every way. Come meet them!
