I hate to do this but it needs to be said. Just because you donate money does not mean I am now at your beck and call anytime you see a cat that needs to be fixed. I have a long line of trap locations we are working on. Pregnant cats come first. Last night I had to ask someone to get me an appointment at the SPCA for a pregnant community cat in an apartment complex. I am not made of money and I do not have unlimited appointments , appointments at work the rescue pays for. Sara is the one that knows what cats are going where and when . So ask her not a friend of Sara's

Places you can get a cat fixed for cheap

Sacramento SPCA
Animal Spay and Neuter
Community Spay Neuter Clinic
Snip bus
Paws of Oroville
Animal Outreach of the Mother Lode

So what is C4CC stands for Collation for Community Cats. What do they do they help people that can't afford to pay to get the cats fixed at low income clinics. Why is C4CC so important because they help 1000's of cats get fixed every year. They have a big fundraiser coming up. They need to raise a lot of money to keep them up and running. They help trappers get cats fixed at clinics. Trappers are already going broken feeding the cats they are trapping and feeding all the colonies they have already fixed. Every dollar counts, every cat fixed saves 100s more from being born. If you can join the walk, or make a donation that would be awesome.

The 19th Annual C4CC Feral Cat Walk – Put Your Best Paw Forward! Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the 5K walk starts at 10 a.m.

Welcome to Be Kind TNR little ones. Next week you will be eating on your own. Last night and this morning you hate the milk I have. You tell me F U you are not my momma and your milk sucks. You came in bottling fingers you were so hungry I was hopeful you would want canned food while I finished my lunch dinner. I was not the one that ripped you from your momma because they don't want cats there. We all know that's not the answer. I will go have the discussion about vacuum effect and TNR. Would love to see these kittens go to another rescue.

Some days you get messages and people think they can't do it on own. When in truth they just need guidance.

If you're thinking of getting into animal rescue, here's something you need to know:

You need to build armor, not just for the hard work, but for the people.

You’ll need more than compassion. You’ll need resilience. You’ll need to remind yourself daily why you started, because the world will test you.

People will cheer you on when you post a happy rescue story. But when you say no, because your rescue is full, your funds are low, or your team is exhausted, those same voices will criticize you.

They’ll forget the animals you saved and focus on the one you couldn’t take.

Don’t let it change your heart.

Some people will praise your care, your process, your kindness, until they want to surrender a pet, and you ask questions or try to help them work through it. Suddenly, you’re the worst person for them.

That’s part of the job.

You’ll lose relationships. Some friends won’t understand why you fight for animal rights. Others will be cold to you when you’re being too dramatic for them after spending the night with a dying rescue.

Let them go.

People will call you every hour, message you at 2am, expect you to be available around the clock. You will get calls and messages you cannot humanly keep up with. And when you finally pause to breathe, they’ll say you’re fake, you don’t care.

It’ll sting, but keep breathing anyway.

Other rescuers will criticize how you operate, even if they’ve never set foot in your rescue. Some will help. Others will just talk.

Focus on the work, not the noise.

You’ll see things you can’t unsee. You’ll witness cruelty. And sometimes, no matter how fast you get there or how much you spend, you’ll still lose the animal.

Those are the nights you’ll sit and cry alone, and no one knows that.

But even in that pain, you’ll keep going.
Because despite all of it, the judgment, the burnout, the loss… the work matters.

Every life saved is a reason to continue.

Rescue is beautiful, heartbreaking, and unforgiving. But if you’re in it for the right reasons, you’ll find strength in the heartbreak and purpose in the pain.

Just don’t lose yourself in the process.



Felt like this was much needed right now. For all my rescue friends struggling and for everyone who wonders why I don’t respond, why I don’t answer your calls, why I forget things, why I miss or cancel appointments… it’s because of this.

We need a few things. We have some kittens that p**p and p**p and p**p they are not pretty p**ps. The p**p has been tested negative for everything. So we are going to do a reset we feed dehydrated raw for a few weeks. On top of all the p**p they do not make it to the litter pan so we have went through my stockpile of large p*e pads the smaller p*e pads end up in a ball in water dishes. We tried to do it without p*e pads and that meant we used rolls of paper towels. Omg they are lucky they are all cute and white and can't hear anything I tell them but I still talk to them. Then one eyed Willie was not eating great I found out he has expensive tastes he loves tiki cat and eats it all at once. Omg he is so cute and loving with his cross little eye we need to get him growing so it can be removed.
