Jamie here! I came down to the Sanctuary this morning, and there was a sweet delivery of cat beds and litter. There was also a huge delivery of litter and food sent to my home for the sanctuary! I want to give a big thank you to everyone who contributed these items! Debby, Esther, and whoever delivered the litter to the front door of the Rescue… THANK YOU! Also, big thank you to Sam and Jessie from we’re coming by today to help clean! You all are amazing ❤️

Ummm how did this happen?! Sheba is a kitty that was fostered with Tasha. Tasha was adopted out yesterday to a wonderful home. Sadly, I received a phone call today from Sheba’s adopter saying that he could no longer care for her. As a result, five minutes later, she was sitting on the front porch of the Rescue along with all of her belongings. There are reasons why people surrender animals, however, there is a clause in my contract that if someone should have to rehome one of the cats that I adopted out, they must contact me first. However, I don’t think that he really knew that this was the case and contacted me regardless. I’m just happy he did. Anyhow, she is safe and decompressing. It can take three days to a month for a cat to fully decompress so I’m taking my time with her and hoping she starts to come out of her shell again soon. In the meantime, if you are willing to foster or are interested in adopting her, please let me know! She is the sweetest of the sweet and really deserves the best!

Tasha was rescued from the streets of Richmond, CA at about 6 weeks old. She went to a foster home for several months and sadly, the family had to return her to the rescue however, she always seemed out of place. Tasha likes doing her own thing. She’s not really into hanging out with other cats, she really enjoys human company, but other cats she can do without. This is very rare when it comes to felines. Cats are known to be social creatures, so when a cat proves to be one with a Singleton mindset, it’s crucial to find them the proper home. A man named Chris reached out to me recently, asking about her, and after an interview and a brief visit with him this past weekend, I knew that he would be the best person for her. He came down to the Rescue this evening and took her home! Tasha!!!

Lilies are pretty but they’re extremely toxic to cats. True Lilies and Day Lilies are the types that can lead to sudden kidney failure if any part of the plant is ingested. Even inhalation of the pollen can be deadly. The water in the vase is toxic to cats as well.

The best way to keep your cat safe is to avoid exposure to True Lilies or Day Lilies by not bringing them into your home.

If you suspect your cat has come in contact with the plant, seek immediate veterinary care.

Jamie here and these scruffy little nuggets have been with me for the past few days. Two of them are going to foster care today and one is staying with me so she can soon be paired with little Fiere. I will be letting the fosters choose the names for the kittens that she is taking on, however, welcome these guys to the BBAK crew! Also, as always if you can and are able to, please consider making a tax deductible donation to help us reach our $3,000 kitten season goal so we can care for these guys and the many other kitties at the rescue! Donation link is in my bio!

Jamie here! This is Miss Bella, and she was recently surrendered after living in a home with a dementia patient who is sadly not taking care of her. She is severely emaciated, and is going to need blood work and extensive medical care. As many of you know, we are in the middle of Kitten season and BBAK already has several brand new Kittens on board, and we could really use funding and supplies to help us get us through this time! If you can and are able to, please consider making a tax deductible donation or purchasing an item from one of our wish list by going to the Linktree Link in our bio!

Biscuit was brought to my rescue from Pitsburg from a friend of mine. She was immediately spayed, vaccinated, and sent to a foster home. I do have to say I am incredibly grateful for for connecting me to her Foster, Tammy! This little girl is off to her forever home after receiving a whole lot of love!

One minute, he’s cuddling with mamma. The next minute, he’s styling his hair and wreaking havoc in the litter box. This little man is the ham of the litter for sure!

Adoption update! Tilly (formally known as Ariel) was adopted by a wonderful family and El Sobrante. She has become best friends with the family’s 9 year old kitty! They’ve become so close, that all Tilly needs to do is make a little chirp when their nine-year-old is sitting on their Human’s lap, and she goes running to cuddle and play with Tilly! I’m so grateful for stories like this, it encourages me to continue doing what I do! To everyone who supports this rescue and has adopted one of the little ones that I’ve cared for, or one of my fosters cared for, thank you for being a part of The journey!

I have gotten so many requests for orange kittens, and I’ve literally had people walk out of adoption events because I did not have any on hand. For some reason, this happens in waves with different types of kitties. One year people are looking for kitties with Siamese traits, then tabby, cats, tuxedos, and now the orange cats are in high demand. Every time I’ve had orange Kittens available they are gone the moment that they are ready for adoption. I can totally understand why though they have a wonderful little personalities! Anyhow, right now the Rescue is in need of dry and wet mother and baby cat food, science, diet, kitten, food, ringworm, treatment, and funding for medical supplies and visits. If you can and are able to, please consider making a tax deductible donation or purchasing an item from one of our wish list by going to the Linktree link in my bio if you are on Instagram or at the end of this post if you are on Facebook! Thank you so much! https://linktr.ee/bittenbyakitten

Millie’s little house is empty this evening as she passed away just a few moments ago. What’s mind-boggling to me as the fact that she was improving. Her outrage burst from the neurological FIP were no longer happening, the tremors were slowing, she would grab my hand for pets, and she even was escaping from her kennel to go be a part of the group in the free roam area. However, the night before last, she stopped eating on her own and rapidly began to decline. I immediately contacted the team over her case, and we increased the dosing of her medication, started her on critical care, however, this evening just after I wrapped her in a brand, new, clean blanket, throw away the trash, I looked back at her… she blinks at me as though she was saying goodbye and passed away. I hate FIP with a passion. I’ve never dealt with such a complicated disease in my entire time of rescue. It pops up in so many different ways and each case is so different. One minute it looks like it’s going in the best possible direction in the next minute they’re crashing and dying. I’m sorry everyone I did what I could. I just hope that she knew she was loved.
