UPDATE- Blackjack was adopted Saturday. Blackjack was enjoying all the attention at the Sanctuary. But he was VERY ready for his furever home. Well, his wish came true.
Sweet Blackjack is now living with a family that will spoil him. Thank you to everyone who supported his life saving surgery. Thank you to the medical staff who saw immediately what a special guy he was. Thank you to all the volunteers who gave him love and pets when he was feeling unsure upon arrival at the Sanctuary. And thank you to everyone who said a prayer or sent healing thoughts his way! You all made a difference.

Meet our August 2024 Kitty of the Month.....Wrecker!

Hello, I'm Wrecker. I am a mature DSH black and white male, grateful for all the patience and medical help I have received. I have transformed into a fluffy kitty now that seeks attention and some brushing and pets. After a restful nap, I will participate in wand play and I like to roll all over the catnip banana or toss around a toy. I'm a quiet and independent guy overall who can be a bit choosy about when I want affection, although when I'm ready I'll rub against your arm or leg seeking some pets. I can be assertive at times with other cats if they get in my valuable wet food. Otherwise, we respect each other and mind our own business.
When I came to Wild Blue, I had a severe upper respiratory infection and lots of dental issues. I have since had dental surgery to remove all my teeth, and I finished a special medication to eliminate my stomatitis symptoms altogether. That medicine transformed my life, and I look and feel fabulous now! My interest in human touch varied throughout my recovery, but now I'm feeling young and playful! I prefer a calm approach and slow hand motions and then pets or brushing are welcome, but I do have my limit so watch my cues. I like to nap a lot and sometimes I don't care to be bothered then. Calm assurances and conversations help me get to know new people, and I like to be able to choose my attention. I did test FIV+ during my medical review and my estimated birthdate is 3/16/14. I would prefer a calm and quiet home, preferably without kids and other cats. If I can fill a spot in your heart and home and you are willing to be watchful in my care, please fill out an application online at www.wbcats.org/adopt.

Team Charity Case stopped by Wild Blue Cats today and took a tour of our facility and dropped off a big donation. The amount of help Wild Blue can provide with their amazing donation is huge! We hope they realize what a difference they have made! Thank you so much!!

Update on Blackjack - Yesterday Wild Blue took Blackjack for his follow-up appt. His surgery two weeks ago went so well that the dentist thinks he may not need another surgery. He will be tube fed for 9 more days. Our vet, Dr. Erin repaired his tongue in surgery last week and it looks great. Everyone who has met this big guy has fallen in love. It is hard to believe that someone chose to be so cruel to him.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to his surgery costs. We received enough to pay for his procedures. Click here to read his original story.

Meet our August 2024 Volunteer of the Month..... Dan McCullor!

My name is Dan McCullor and I've been a volunteer with Wild Blue since December 2023. I've always loved cats and am grateful to have some time and the opportunity to volunteer at Wild Blue, helping to care for the ferals and barn cats (mostly feeding and cleaning) and jumping in for last-minute help when I can.

Originally from Western NY, I've been in Colorado since '93. I'm married and have two daughters, 16 and 24, two large dogs and currently only one cat – all rescues, of course (volunteering curbs my urge to get more 🙂 ). I am an IT Support Engineer for a software company and enjoy spending time with my family, hiking/camping in the warm weather, playing ice hockey in the winter, and traveling whenever I can.

Wild Blue has a lot of very talented people doing great work and I am proud to say I am a part of that team!

We are so thankful for you Dan!
Wild Blue Cats is lucky to have you!

Cat a Day part two.

Cat a Day part one.

Taus is a super hero!

Cat-A-Day- Day Eight- it's a two cat day!- Featuring Taus and Gravity. Taus is 8 months old and he was born with a birth defect similar to spina bifida. His lower back and tail are paralyzed. You would never know that he has any sort of condition because nothing slows him down. Recently his foster mom filmed him coming down the stairs with no issues. She also found him on top of a HUGE bean bag chair. Taus is so funny and he has so much upper body strength that he can do anything he sets his mind to. He does wear a diaper when cruising around the house. And he has a support cat of his own. Gravity is his BFF and his bonded friend and they will be adopted together. Gravity loves her back scratches and is a super sweet girl. They sleep together all the time and just wrestle and play like all young kitties should do. Please consider adopting this adorable pair! They really do want a furever home for Christmas. Go to wbcats.org/adopt to fill out an application.

Today Wendy Tobiasz and Sabrina Utter went to Loving Living Local to talk about Wild Blue Cats and Fancy Feast 2.3. Check it out and share this post to help us raise money to Save Precious Lives!!

A major milestone reached yesterday at Wild Blue Cats! Dian Fossey, fostered by Tracey had 7 babies and one of these babies took us over 10,000 kitties saved!! That’s 10,000 kitties saved by Wild Blue Cats!!! What a milestone! Thank you all who have helped us make a difference in the lives of all these cats and kittens!! YOU got us here!! ❤️ ❤️
