Bitten By A Kitten Rescue

01/22/2025

Jamie here and I wanted to say thank you to everyone who donated to help Ed receive the care that he needed today! I will not know the results until Thursday, however, what I will say is that the vet is looking at the possibility of FIP, liver shunt, and/or thyroid disease. Overall little one, it seems to be in good spirits, however, he does get tired faster than the other kittens. I keep him isolated when I’m not at the rescue in order to make sure that he doesn’t overdo himself while we are finding answers. Today’s visit was a total of $272. Once I get the results back, I will let all of you know!

Jamie here, and we are just $50 shy of what we need to cover Ed’s bloodwork! This doesn’t include any meds that will be sent home. Please consider making a tax deductible donation to help cover today’s visit! You can do so by going to the following link: https://linktr.ee/bittenbyakitten

Hi everyone! As many of you know, Ed is not doing well at all. He has an appointment this afternoon to get blood work done, however, the Rescue is struggling financially, and we could greatly use support to help him get there! The appointment today is $250 for the blood work. That’s without any meds that they may prescribe. If you are able to, please consider making a tax deductible donation by going to the Linktree link in my bio on IG or to the following link if you’re on Facebook: https://linktr.ee/bittenbyakitten

Hi everyone! Jamie here, and we have some appointments coming up one of which is extremely important!! As many of you know, Ed is in the process of getting tested for FIP. There’s no clear way around it. We have to do multiple tests and cancel everything else out. I am currently talking to the vet about getting him started a trial run of FIP meds. In the meantime, I am fundraising to get these appointments covered! If you can and are able to, please consider making a tax deductible donation! You can find the Linktree link to donate in my bio if you are on Instagram and at the following link, if you are on Facebook: https://linktr.ee/bittenbyakitten

Jamie here with a content warning before I continue this post. What I’m about to discuss as a sensitive topic and if this is something you’re not able to handle, please continue scrolling. With that said, recently there was a three month old puppy named Thanos that was listed as an emotional support animal for a woman named Havanna Miller. Recently, someone videotaped her limitlessly beating the puppy on her back patio. Total of 17 strikes with a belt as a puppy, cried in agony. Animal abuse is not only inexcusable, but it’s also a federal offense. I’m asking you all to go to the following link and sign the petition to help get justice for this little guy! https://linktr.ee/bittenbyakitten

Jamie here with a quick note about the TikTok posts that I have done. Some people have taken it upon themselves to assume that because I posted a photo that includes a political figure’s name in it that I’m either for or against that person and really all the posts we’re about were the fact that they took TikTok down early and then they put it back up. I took a screenshot of what TikTok provided for me every time I opened the app when it originally shut down and then when it turned back on.

If you know me personally, I generally keep my political and religious viewpoints (aside from my view on the TikTok ban) off of Rescue and personal pages because I have found that no matter what side of the spectrum you land on any topic, many people will disagree with a point of view, and then turn around and withhold funding from any organization because of a director’s viewpoint. This comes from firsthand experience seeing this happened to other rescues as well as myself. My main concern is the animals that I take care of and making sure that they have everything that they need. With that said, aside from the TikTok band, and my view on it, my political and religious views are really not something. I’m willing to discuss with people outside of my close circle of friends.

More over, I understand that TikTok is a controversial topic. there is, however, a topic I will stand firm on, and that is TikTok and the fact that the ban was literally taking our right to free speech. For the government to remove it based on their idea of it being a security breach, they would have to go and remove our phones, computer, computers, tablets, Alexa, flatscreen TVs, etc. because the reality is if another country wanted our information they would already have it simply by tapping into the very things that are made in those countries that are dwelling in our homes every day, listening to every word we say. 

TikTok is an amazing platform that helped me touch base with rescuers and people all over the world and spread the word about a cause that I’m very passionate about which is Animal Rescue. Not only that, but it helped provide over $2000 from the creator fund just the past two months. As many as you know, I am working diligently to keep this rescue up and going, and to have that money coming into the Rescue during a critical time when we have had several medical cases along with increased rent, etc.  was amazing. 

Overall, my goal is to maintain a civil atmosphere on my Rescue pages and personal pages. I truly hope that those of you who are on TikTok will give the Rescue a follow as this is where I post a great deal of the behind-the-scenes work that’s done and I’m planning to do quite a few live videos where I spend time with the kitties and talk more with people who have questions so I can give them some live answers.

Welp, that was short lived!!! to anyone on platform such as Facebook and Instagram, who are not following the rescue on TikTok. Please make sure you give BBAK I follow is the username for the TikTok platform as well as the Instagram platform! If you’re looking for a way to support the Rescue and don’t have funding to do so, you can always go on TikTok watch some of our videos and help with interaction! The more you interact, the more you watch, the more the Rescue will make to help support our cause!

Christmas in January? Well, I guess it was! Huge, thank you to Vicki and Theresa for coming out with lots of goodies for the kitties last night! Brand new beds, tons of scratchers and hideaways, and so much more! Also, a big thank you to each and every person who came out last night to help at the Rescue!

01/19/2025

Welp, here it is! I went online to say my final farewell’s to over 20,000 followers and a great deal of people who were supporting the rescue this evening to find it s**t down early. BBAK was a member of the creator fund and we were actually getting funding to help keep this rescue going…. The creator fund alone provided $1500 for the Rescue last month and another 500 this month. Countless other rescues relied on income from the creator fund and from people who were donating online through TikTok alone. A lot of other creators didn’t have much of a social media presence outside of TikTok, and now it’s stolen from them! all I can say is that this is devastating so many levels for a lot of people!

Jamie here with an update on Ed and the kitties that we are supposed to be receiving from Southern California.
First off, Ed tested negative for coronavirus, which means the probability of FIP is very unlikely. The next step is more bloodwork and another round of deworming. I’ve also spoken with his vet about having him checked for a liver shunt. Ed and his siblings are incredibly small for their age, and there are a few factors that could contribute to this that would also make his tummy round the way it has been. I will make sure to keep you all updated as I get more answers. In the meantime, he will be seen by the Evergreen Vet next week for Moore testing and investigating his situation. The quote I’ve received for the next round of testing is $250. To make a tax deductible donation to help with his care, you can go to the Link tree link at the end of this post.

Kitties from the fires! As you know, the rescue committed to take on several kitties from Southern California. However, with the chaos down south, it has been really hard to get transport up here from SoCal. I’m still working with Bright Haven in hopes that we can make this happen, in the meantime, I am in contact with a few other rescues down south in an effort to make sure that the spots that I’ve created for these guys does not go unused. I will continue to keep everyone updated on the situation as I receive more news.

Big thank you to everyone who has been supporting this Rescue! Again, if you would like to make a tax deductible donation to help us continue the work that we do and to keep the cat sanctuary open, please go to the following link tree link where you will find all of our donation links! https://linktr.ee/bittenbyakitten

Jamie here and I just did an updated video on what the cat sanctuary space is looking like now! A lot more work to do, however, I am so happy to see how far it has come! Big thank you to all of my volunteers as I could not do a single bit of this without you!

Jamie here and it’s been a long time since I’ve really posted anything on YouTube, however, my goal is to be more consistent. I wanted to give you a tour of ...

There’s always that one sibling that hogs the bed, and obviously from the look of panic on Joe’s face at first, he was not ready to deal with it. After a moment, he realized that the only way to enjoy the bed was to put up with justice, stretching across him and squishing him into it lol! These little nuggets are up for adoption! If you’re in the East Bay area California, and are considering making a Kitten a part of your family, please send me a direct message and I can get you set up with an over the phone interview!

I absolutely love this!! 🍟🍔🙏❤️😎

I swear Tristan is not mad, she just has a classic case of constant RBF 😂 Tristan is super sweet, shy at first, but definitely a affectionate once she gets to know you. This little girl would do wonderful in a home with other cats or a kitten her age! If you’re in the Eastway area California and are interested in adopting her, please send me a direct message!

Jamie here and I wanted to give a big thank you to people who have donated cleaning supplies, food, litter, etc. for some reason Amazon is not letting me do the little thank you notes back to people who have sent things and PayPal does not let me send a thank you note either. If you have donated on Venmo or Cash app, I’m able to like and/or commentso I’m always sure to say thank you! I am extremely grateful for each and every person that has supported this Rescue!

Big thank you to everyone who donated to help Ed see the vet today! Whatever the diagnosis, he has a pretty big road ahead of him. He has a small amount of fluid in his abdomen, inflammation in his intestinal area,and we are waiting to hear back on his FIP test results. If he comes back positive, he will automatically go into treatment. There is a medication for this and it’s not a death sentence. However, if he’s negative, there will be more testing done. I am continuing to Fundraiser for his care. I included today’s vet bill, which was completely covered. Thanks to all of your donations.

Jamie here with an update on Ed! Sadly, it doesn’t look good. He has a grade 3 heart murmur and the vet is working on getting a final diagnosis for Possible FIP. He is showing all the symptoms, however, there is hope. There is a medication that was recently made legal in the US that can save him. I will keep you all updated on his final diagnosis and how you guys can help if you’re able to! Thank you all so much for your support during this time this is absolutely devastating.
