Bitten By A Kitten Rescue

10/19/2025

Jamie here! As many if you know, Liz has taken on leadership of Bitten By A Kitten, however, I will be continuing to help with social media and fundraising at least until the end of the year. With that said, sweet Mindy was seen by this afternoon and after any evaluation, along with x-rays, it has been decided that she will definitely need a hip surgery at some point within the near future. Overall, she is managing her pain well and the surgery can hold off until we’re able to fundraise for that procedure. Today’s visit was $450 and we are about $50 shy of what we need to finish the payment.

Meanwhile, a kitty named Rosie that is also a part of the rescue was seen this week as well and the total for her visits and treatment came to $400 which included her visit and medications.

with the sanctuary closing, and the change of hands in leadership, donations have been down, and we are definitely in need of funding in order to make sure that these veterinary bills are covered. If you can and are able to, please consider making a tax deductible donation by going to the Link tree Link in the bio on Instagram or at the end of this post on Facebook! As always, thank you all for your support!

Jamie here and I am SUPER late on creating this post… however, as I promised… let me introduce you all to the new director of BBAK!

This is Liz, and she came in contact with me when I thought I was going to have to completely shut down BBAK. However, after discussing a few issues with her, I realized that I would only have to shut down the sanctuary and let her take things from here! She has taken on several cats from the sanctuary building and has several fosters under her care as well as foster families who are also taking on cats and kittens. She also has a true heart for rescue and a thirst for knowledge, which are both irreplaceable traits for those who are working in rescue. With that said, here is her testimony on/why she became a rescuer:

“My love for cat rescue began the day I met Georgie, a stray who chose me as her person. Through her, I discovered the incredible need for fosters, volunteers, and TNR (trap-neuter-return) programs to help community cats live safer, healthier lives. Since then, I’ve been passionate about supporting rescue efforts and doing my part to make a difference—one cat at a time.”

Now, with that said, for this time forward, Liz will be the person of contact. I will be slowly signing everything over to her. Everyone please be patient because this has been a massive transformation in the rescue. If you have any issues or any concerns, please reach out to me first and I will filter them out and contact her. We are trying to slowly integrate her into the director position and make sure that she’s not overwhelmed. In the meantime, thank you, Liz for stepping up! And for anyone wanting to support the rescue here on after, please make sure you go to the link link in the Rescue bio on Instagram or at the following link on Facebook: https://linktr.ee/bittenbyakitten

Jamie here, and I am officially getting ready to leave the East Bay Area California for good. Of course the universe would not let me leave the area without rescuing another animal right? This little girl was found on a busy street in Vallejo, California a few days ago while returning a rental car. She was running in and out of traffic and was almost hit by several cars so I pulled the car over, chased her into an empty lot by some train tracks where I was able to corner her and a homeless tent, a rapper in a blanket and take her home. I have contacted the local shelter to see if anyone has been missing a dog. I’m currently following the proper protocol to make sure that I give her owners the opportunity to step forward. Should they not step forward, this little girl will be a permanent resident with my boyfriend and me.

Jamie here, and as many as you know, we have a new director for the Rescue, who has actually taken on several of the kitties that were at the sanctuary. Right now, we are an urgent need a funding to help. Make sure that Mindy is able to get her x-rays done, and in order to make sure that the remaining kitties that are with Liz will be able to get the proper medical care. Please consider making tax deductible donation to help us out by going to the link tree link in my bio on Instagram and at the end of this post on Facebook. I will be introducing our new director this weekend! I’m really excited about this new transition for the Rescue. She really has a huge heart, and a great deal of knowledge, and I know she will definitely carry on Anje’s legacy in the best possible way!

Jamie here! As many as you know, the sanctuary space belonging to Bitten By A Kitten Rescue is officially closing this week. In the midst of all of this, we are still paying for medical expenses and helping other rescues that have taken on Cats ensure that they are receiving the best possible care. This means that when a medical situation has risen, I do my best to help cover it when I can. Now, with that said, Red (AKA: Garfielda) was recently taken to the vet to have some blood work done. Her blood work showed that she has the early stages of kidney disease and is getting placed on a special diet. Her vet bill was just over $450 at Muir Oaks, and of course, because she came from BBAK I have opted to cover the expense.

next, I have some amazing news! Ricky, Bobby, and Bobby have both found solid Rescue space! They are going to the same rescue in Oregon. However, there is going to be a transport fee and they will need to be sent off with supplies and medication. If you can and are able to, please consider making a tax deductible donation by going to the Link tree Link in my bio on Instagram and at the end of this post on Facebook! Thank you all so much!

As many as you know, the sanctuary portion of BBAK is closing, and I have thankfully, with the help of some amazing people been able to find homes for the majority of the cats. Now, aside from about three semi feral kitties there are only two that for sure need a space to go. Sadly, they are the hardest cats to place. We’ve got Ricky Bobby and Bobby. Both of them are special-needs. Both of them wear diapers.

Ricky Bobby had a tail pull injury Early on in life, and is incontinent. He wears diapers and has to be changed multiple times a day. Geere is also on a special diet and must be monitored to make sure that he does not get backed up. Aside from that he is extremely friendly, and gets along with other cats. However, digging to his special diet is extremely critical to his overall well-being.

Bobby is a sweet kitty with Manx syndrome. He is not able to go to the bathroom on his own, and because of this has to have his bladder expressed and have someone manually help him 💩💩💩 2 to 3 times a day. He wears diapers just in case he leaks. I changed him 2 to 3 times a day . Aside from this, Bob is extremely affectionate, energetic, playful, and just needs a family that’s able to handle his needs .

I have tried every special needs Rescue I can possibly think of and I’m literally at a loss for what to do with them. I am not up to humanely euthanize these guys just because they don’t have a place to go so if someone can send me in the direction of either a rescue or a home that can help either one of them that would be greatly appreciated! I only have until Sunday to have them placed.

“Ummm excuse me! I’m trying to wer here!” Ricky Bobby went in for his quality of life check up and definitely surprised everyone once again! He went from looking like he definitely was not going to make it last week to showing up super strong this week. Huge thank you to Dr. Arnot from and his amazing vet tech for taking extra good care of him today!

Along with this great news, I have some more great news, friends! Though the sanctuary space for the Rescue is closing, the Rescue itself does not have to close anymore. I will be signing over a leadership to another rescuer that I have been in discussions with. To anyone making monthly donations, thank you, please continue to consider making those contributions to help her out as she is taking on a rather huge task. I will be introducing everyone to her very soon!!

to everyone that has supported this rescue, thank you! As of now, yes, we are remaining open, however, the sanctuary is closing, and I am handing over leadership. If you would like to make a tax deductible donation to help with the future efforts of Bitten By A Kitten Rescue, you can go to the Link tree in my bio. All donations go towards saving the lives of the cats and kittens in our care and the ones that the new leader will be taking on. Thank you!

Welp my little drama kings are off to live in a theatre in San Francisco! Arturo and Miko our shy boys who never fully came around, and I knew that they needed a special place for them to go. After speaking with a fellow rescuer, Dianne, who has been helping me place some Kitties, she helped me find the perfect spot for these two! They will be living in a theater in San Francisco, where they will help keep the mouse population down while enjoying their daily meals and having free roam of their own little special space. Huge thank you to Dianne helping me make this safe and happy space Possible for them!

East Bay area California, WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! I absolutely have to place these cats before the end of the month so that I can get the building cleaned up and completely move out by the 30th. I want them in safe places where I know they will be cared for. I am still continuing to raise funds to help us with this transition in order to make sure any cats that go out to other rescues will have their medical needs met. To make a tax deductible donation, you can go to the link link in my bio or at the end of this post. To volunteer, adopted cat, etc. you can send me a direct message! https://linktr.ee/bittenbyakitten
