TWO CRITICAL KITTENS IN 24 HOURS
** graphic photo warning **

It’s been a very tough couple days for the rescue, and we’re reaching out to our community for help ❤️‍🩹

In the last 24 hours, we’ve had two unexpected medical emergencies: one with a kitten currently in our care and the other was a new intake this morning.
We need some help to cover the sudden costs.

🐾 First Emergency:
One of our 6-month-old teenage kittens, Sapphire, suddenly became very ill and needed an emergency vet visit, followed by an all-day stay for testing due to a possible intestinal blockage.
💸 Her care so far has cost around $700.
Fortunately, imaging suggests she may not have a blockage, but she is still not feeling well and continues to struggle to p**p. We are monitoring her closely and may need further treatment.

🐾 Second Emergency (This Morning): **graphic photo warning**
We took in a kitten with a degloved tail, an incredibly painful and traumatic injury. He (now named Stuart Little) was rushed to the vet and is currently undergoing a tail amputation surgery.
💸 His surgery is estimated between $651 – $1,030.

✨ Total unexpected medical costs in just 24 hours: $1,351 – $1,730.
For a small rescue like ours, this is a huge hit.

We never want to turn away animals in crisis, and we always strive to give them the medical care they urgently need — but right now, we can’t do it without you.

🙏 If you’re able, please consider donating to help us cover these emergency vet bills. No amount is too small — truly. Every dollar goes directly to lifesaving care for these vulnerable kittens.

Two weeks ago, something heartbreaking happened — and though we hesitated to share, it comes with a powerful reminder: never give up on your missing pets.

We had offered to help a family get their cat, Pedro, neutered through Salem Friends of Felines. On the morning of October 23rd, we loaded up the cats for their appointments — but when we arrived, Pedro’s kennel latch failed, and in a split second, he escaped. Despite our best efforts and the family rushing from Estacada to help, Pedro was gone.

For days, we searched, his family searched — posting on Facebook, Nextdoor, PawBoost, and every lost pet page we could find. Friends of Felines set traps and spread the word, but there was no sign of him. Still, we refused to lose hope.

Then, late on November 3rd, an email arrived: “Could this be Pedro?”
It was him. 💫

The kind family who spotted him set a trap, and by 9 p.m. last night, Pedro was safely caught. We rushed to Keizer, brought him home, and witnessed the most beautiful reunion with his overjoyed family.

Pedro will still get neutered soon — with a sturdier kennel this time! — but for now, we’re simply grateful he’s home safe.

To Pedro’s family: thank you for your grace and persistence.
To the finders and Friends of Felines: thank you for your kindness, resources, and unwavering support.

And to everyone still searching for their missing pets: please don’t give up hope. Microchip, share, search, and believe — happy endings do happen. ❤️

A little ✨behind the scenes✨look at what the night prior to our spay/neuter appointments look like!

🐈‍⬛ Disinfect/Sanitize ALL the kennels needed for the appointment (even if they’ve already been sanitized prior to being previously put away). We want to make sure any lingering diseases are gone!
🐈‍⬛ Gather potty pads and place one in each kennel so all the kitties have a soft spot to lay for our long car ride.
🐈‍⬛ Grab our microchips! We make sure every one of our cats and kittens is chipped! And we of course have to bring extra in the event one of the chips is defective or falls out of the provided needle.
🐈‍⬛ Tape & Sharpie ~ each kennel is labeled with the specific cat’s name, our rescue’s abbreviation (BSH), along with a gender identifier of an ‘F’ or an ‘M’ so the clinic knows who is who and that they belong to us when we come back for pick up!
🐈‍⬛ Not pictured here but still a very crucial step for the night prior….Withholding all food after midnight from the cats/kittens that are scheduled for surgery. If food isn’t withheld, while under anesthesia they can run the risk of vomiting and aspirating on any food remnants and we of course do not want to that. They are still allowed to have water 🫶🏼

We are taking in 7 males to get fixed! 6 kittens and 1 adult.

Stay tuned for upcoming adoption posts!

We posted Chucky a few days ago, but please welcome the rest of our tiniest, spookiest bunch!

Pearl, Chucky, Samara, Ghostface, Michael Myers and Annie Wilkes!

We rescued these littles last week. They were underweight, anemic, and just covered in fleas. They’ve gotten a warm bath, ears cleaned, flea treatment, dewormer, first round of vaccines, and some yummy meals in between!

Tiny but mighty, they are still struggling. We’ve had quite the day already dealing with vomiting and diarrhea from a few, so they’ll all be heading to the vet tomorrow. 🥺

Please wish these kids a speedy recovery so they can finally rehabilitate 🤍

If you are able, please share and/or donate so we can continue helping the kitties under our care. The money we receive is so greatly appreciated, but everything we do adds up quickly.
