Cherry update 🍒
Cherry and her siblings have recovered from Panleuk but unfortunately, Cherry is showing lasting neurological signs.
PLEASE share this if you are able, we still desperately need funds to help cover her vet bills. Thank you!!!
Now isn’t that such a sweet sound?!? 🥰
Cherry is being VERY vocal about how happy she is to be back home!! When the vets told her she wouldn’t make it through the first night, Cherry said “I got this!”
We are so so so beyond happy that ALL of the fruit kids are back home and recovering! Honestly, we didn’t expect this. It’s incredible that they all made it through!!
We have raised $2200 (😱😭) so far but the total has reached $3500 so we still need your support! Once again, thank you thank you THANK YOU!!
“Apple here! I have an update on my siblings!!”
GREST NEWS!! As of this morning, Cherry, Honeydew, and Mango all seem to be improving! Their fevers are beginning to break and they’ve even been eating and drinking on their own. While we’re tempted to call this a miracle, the truth is, the diligent work of their foster mama and the veterinary teams at both MedVet and TAHO saved these kittens’ lives. We are keeping them hospitalized for another day just to be sure they don’t take a turn but for this first time this week, we have hope they will all pull through!
Unfortunately, we did have to admit a fourth kitten to TAHO this morning. Bianca, who was introduced to the fruit litter just days before they got sick, showed signs of a fever this morning and vomited. She will be receiving the same care as her foster siblings and we are hopeful she will make it through this as well.
As you can see, Apple is still at home with her foster mama (notice all that PPC!!) and doing well. She is monitored for temperature and weight hourly so we can catch any signs as easily as possible.
Now, let’s talk about the less adorable side of all of this… the money. 💸 We are BLOWN AWAY at the support we have received this week. In the last few days, we have raised almost $1500. 😱 THANK YOU!! As amazing and generous as that is, our current estimate at TAHO is $2700. Keeping four kittens there today as well will likely take that to over $3500.
If you already donated but still want to help, we would love if you could SHARE this post with your network!! Getting the word out is the only way we’ll continue to get the funds we need for these kiddos. And again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Meet B I A N C A 💕
This innocent little lady was dumped and abandoned outside of someone’s home late at night. Luckily, the home owners found her and happen to be the parents of one of our Board Members, meaning this kitten was very quickly placed into the love of our foster home. She was so scared and covered in fleas!
After a nice warm bath with dawn dish soap and fresh food and water, she has turned out to be one of the sweetest and most spunkiest kittens! We are guessing she’s roughly 9-10 weeks of age, she’ll be joining the Fruit Kittens 🍎 after her 2 week quarantine. She’s going to be spayed and vaccinated on November 9th and then she’ll be ready for adoption.
She would make a great addition to any home. How can you say no to that little squeak!? 🐭
“Hey, hey ma! I fink I can smew my famiwy” - Ontario ♥️
This snuggly stud is still looking for his family, he is adorable and cuddly and is looking to share his love with someone.
Can you help Ontario find his forever family!? He would be great as a single cat {with lots of human attention} or would enjoy the company of other furry siblings.
Share his post! Help Ontario find his fam!!
“Ma! Ma, hold still! I need to smell you.” - S C I O T O 🐾
This little extra thumb purring fuzzy ball is stealing our hearts and we can hardly stand it! He is so sweet and will meow and chirp at you to get your attention. He loves to be pet and held like a baby. He is a very sweet boy and is most definitely ready to find his forever home.
He does interact well with dogs as his foster home has 2. He actually runs and jumps over the gate to go be with them. He would also do great in a home with another cat to play with - or he could be adopted with one of his siblings.

Who would’ve guess that a paper bag could provide so much entertainment for a little kitten??
Joey is the last Friend’s kitten still available for adoption. He had a minor leg injury that has healed well and had an X-ray to recheck this week and he got cleared for adoption!
Joey is currently being fostered with other cats and a bigger dog. He gets along with them all and would do best in a home with other pets. He does have lots of built up kitten energy and loves to wrestle with his foster cat siblings.
Interested in meeting Joey? Fill out an adoption application and we will get the process started!

Who loves TNR? We do!
This week we went back to the Dublin Road colony where we trapped 3 adults + we rescued 4 little kittens. The adults went to the vet yesterday where they were spayed/neutered and received their rabies vaccine. The 4 kittens are in a foster home socializing until they are of age to be vaccinated and fixed. They are doing very well! We will introduce them later this week.
Today we went back to the colony to return the 3 adults and we happened to catch it on video. Check it out!
TNR {Trap, Neuter and Return} is SO important and is the most humane way to get a handle on the outdoor feral cats. Our rescue is proud to be heavily involved with this practice.
Want to support our efforts? We have several items on our Amazon Wishlist that contribute towards our efforts. Certain items like canned food, paper plates, puppy pads - all come in great use when we are out on a TNR project.
Thank you for your support!
The work of TNR never stops. We’ve already trapped 12 cats from the Dublin Road colony but as you can see, we still have our work cut out for us.
Leave a comment or send us a message if you want to get involved in our TNR work!

This little eager lady is ready to start growing up and eating big girl food like her mom! They’ve only been with us for a little over 24 hours and they are all adapting very well. Malice {momma cat} is the sweetest girl, she begs for pets and cuddles. She’s obsessed with her food and LOVES to drink water. She’s a great momma and is showing her babies that we are safe and are here to help them.
All the kittens are extremely cute and are developing wonderful personalities. More updates to come soon!
😻
Now that the boys are home and stable, they’re getting medications twice a day! Follow along as we show you how we administer medicine to a sick kitten!
