🐾 A Hard Truth from Saving Livy 🖤
With everything happening in our country right now, animal welfare has quietly taken a back seat — and the effects are hitting us hard. Donations are at an all-time low.
The Subscribe & Save boxes that used to arrive like clockwork… the small deposits that helped us cover vet bills and formula… they’ve all but stopped. And as intake calls keep coming, our finances are slipping deeper into the red again.
💰 HOW YOU CAN HELP TODAY:
🐱 Donate supplies — kitten food (wet & dry), litter, bleach, paper towels, trash bags, syringes, and medical gloves.
💸 Financial contributions — every dollar helps cover vet care, medication, and food.
🏡 Adopt or foster — help open up space for the next life waiting in line.
🚗 Volunteer — transport cats, help at events, or lend a hand behind the scenes.
🙏 Share this post — spreading the word truly saves lives.

I hate scaring our supporters or making posts like this — but I also believe in transparency. I work around the clock for this rescue, with my rescue phone in hand, cats on my mind, and action being taken behind the scenes every single day. Sometimes my life feels like a complete sh*tshow (for lack of a better word) — but I keep pushing forward because these animals deserve it.
To make matters worse, during the time I was away on what was supposed to be a rare family vacation in the mountains — a trip meant to help me disconnect from the rescue (ha, as if that ever really happens) — we were hit with fraud on our rescue credit card totaling $1,653.38.
We had to scramble to move funds and payments around just to keep things afloat. That card is what we typically use for supplies and monthly bills to earn cash back, then pay in full at the end of each month. We've been proud to stay debt-free for quite some time, so seeing anything but a zero balance was gut-wrenching.
Now, we’ve had to switch to purchasing everything directly through our business checking account — which means we’re losing that small but steady cash flow that helped offset costs. Add in that adoptions are at an all-time low, and we’re not receiving much in adoption fees as cats and kittens cycle through our foster program. It’s just… a perfect storm of struggle right now.
We know every rescue hits “drought” periods — times when donations slow, fosters burn out, and things get quiet. But this one’s hitting especially hard. I’m trying to make ends meet, keep spirits up, and hold the line — but I’ll be honest… I’m exhausted. I pour countless hours into this organization every single day, year after year, without any pay of my own. The only “payment” I need is the peace of mind that Saving Livy can keep going without breaking me — and right now, I’m really feeling the strain.
🖤 From the bottom of my heart — thank you for standing by us, sharing our posts, donating, fostering, and believing in what we do. We can’t do this without you.
