Who is this handsome cat? Kiki is a pretty boy with a great personality. This resilient little guy went from roughing it in the great outdoors to surviving not one but two femoral head ostectomy surgeries. But now, he's back in action, ready to conquer the world one cat tree at a time! This social butterfly doesn’t just stop at humans; he’s got a fan club that includes dogs, cats, and kids of all ages. So, if you’re looking for a cat with a flair for the dramatic and a heart full of love, Kiki’s your guy. Adopt him, and you’re not just getting a cat—you’re getting a full-on survivor with a playbook for life and plenty of snuggles to go around!

This beautiful lady is Marigold. She's 1 & 1/2 year old Vizsla mix who found herself as an unclaimed stray at a local animal control. This girl loves hard and attaches to her human like chewing gum to hair. Are you starving for attention and in constant need of approval? Marigold is your own personal cheerleader who will follow you everywhere and explode in celebration over the tiniest of things you do. Just sitting down is rewarded with both paws thrown over your shoulders and her forehead squished into yours. She doesn't like being away from you for very long and doesn't like being in her kennel for too long either. She will call to you to come get her so she can be by your side so no homes with shared walls. Also no young children or elderly since walking around the house causes her to explode with joy which she expresses by leaping into the air as if she's going to jump over you. She is a hardcore cuddler and insists on laying with her cheek pressed against yours. Marigold is a special needs girl that is going to require the right home that has lots of patience and the willingness to work with her. We know you are out there!

You can find Marigold on New Leash's website under Adoptable Dogs.

Last week, we took in 4 kittens to try to help them. A single girl who was in rough shape after being found at a gas station, and 3 others needing help after multiple kittens found outside with them had already passed. The little siamese had been losing weight and not wanting to eat.

Despite everything we did,, the single girl Twyla and the Siamese boy passed away. In the case of the group, a 4th kitten had passed while hospitalized at an emergency vet and although an initial panleukopenia snap test showed negative, a lab run PCR came back as positive.

These two little ones deserved their chance at a full life, but they didn't get it. The other two kittens have so far done well.

Spay and neuter for cats is more important than ever before. There are too many cats. There are more cats than homes that want them. More cats are euthanized each year than dogs.

Kittens can get pregnant and have kittens of their own within 4-5 months of age. There are too many kittens and cats already. We need to stop this cycle. Rescuers want to be put out of volunteer work and not be needed anymore.

Rest in Peace babies. 💔

***this is covered*** thank you!

Does anyone have a parakeet that they know of that needs a new home?

Earl is lonely after the passing of his buddy, and our vet is looking for another friend that needs a home to join him.

Send us a message if you know of anyone needing a home.

Hello Marley, the ultimate cat’s cat with a heart of gold! Coming from a home with over 60 whiskered pals, Marley is the social butterfly of the cat world, thriving in the company of other kitties. He's a creature of habit who loves his routine, especially when it comes to mealtime—don’t mess with his feeding schedule, or he might just stress-pluck a little fur. But don’t worry, he’s not a food hog; he just likes to know the buffet is always open. Marley’s ideal home is one where the feline friendships are plentiful, the food bowls are never empty, and his new family understands the importance of keeping his world calm and consistent. With a steady supply of love, routine, and maybe a little Fluoxetine for those extra-anxious days, Marley will purr his way into your heart and be you and your current kitties best friend forever if given the chance. So pop on by today and give this guy a few pets. See if he charms his way into your heart and home.

Benny is almost one month into his FIP treatment. He was down to around 6.5 pounds and now weighs 8.2 pounds. We are so amazed at his fight to live and so happy for this progress. ❤️

Not the news we wanted to share today, but our sweet little blind Munchkin passed away. She had done so well to this point, but started having seizures and wasn't coming back out of them.

Rest in Peace little one. You mattered and the world was made better for the time your little paws were here. ❤️🐾🐾❤️

Coral was found out in the country on a very large property and never reclaimed this spring. She had been waiting a bit for her people to find her, and just look at how happy she is to be the queen of her castle. 🥰 Congratulations to Coral and her new family!

It is the perfect Tuesday morning to drop by for a lick of coffee and to meet this orange fellow, Bernie! Say hello to Barnie, the lanky lad with a heart (and mouth) of gold! Despite his medical resume—heart murmur, toothless grin, and all—Barnie’s a sweet, affectionate cat who just wants to chill in his cat tree and hang with his feline buddies. He might be a tad bit timid at first, but give him a minute, and he’ll show you his softer side. Barnie needs a family that’s cool with his quirks and 100% committed to his care, but trust us, he’s worth it. He has personality plus and will make a loving home feel an abundance of affection daily.
Barnie’s the kind of guy who’s seen it all and is still ready to snuggle—he’s basically the cat version of a wise, old cowboy with the toothless grin of a retired prizefighter. Swing by the cafe and see if Barnie’s quirky charm wins you over!

We are sad tonight to update that little Charlie passed away today. 💔

Charlie came into rescue in November of 2022. He had spent over a month waiting for a foster home at a local impound. We had a foster willing to take him in, and he had 21 months as a spoiled and loved part of a home.

Charlie was estimated to be 12 years old when he first arrived. He needed a dental badly, but had a significant heart murmur and needed a full work up to ensure he could undergo anesthesia. He's had a couple echos and dentals during his time in rescue and now a few months shy of 14 years old... but last night he had a seizure, had slipped further into heart failure and it was time to let him go.

Thank you to Charlie's foster family for being his happy ending and loving him like your own - a we wish we have for every pet out there. ❤️ Second chances matter. Rest in Peace 😇

Littlefoot is still growing like a w**d and waiting for his forever home. He came to rescue as a mangy little pup from a reservation, and he's healed up and blossomed to a six to seven month old beautiful blue-eyed boy. He loves to play and does well with dogs and dog-savvy cats. He will do best in a home that will give him structure and boundaries and continue his learning. He's a smart boy!

Congratulations to Chickadee and Teddy for finalizing their adoptions today! Chickadee was pretty new to rescue, but Teddy was one of our more special intakes - his family had been reaching out to sanctuaries for placement for him, and 14 months ago we were able to step in and help. 🏡👨‍👩‍👦‍👦❤️🐕🐾

Congratulations to all!

Bert ❤️

Check out Bert's ridiculously adorable face! Those big eyes and that fancy tuxedo? Irresistible! Swing by and meet this goofball of an entertainer. Sure, he might’ve started off as a stray with a “tough guy” look, but don’t be fooled—Bert’s a big ol’ buddy at heart. His idea of exercise? A slow blink, if you’re lucky. So, he needs a family who can coax him into some playtime to keep that waistline in check. After coming from a place where food was like a rare treasure, Bert's now on a mission to inhale anything edible in sight, so you’ll definitely want to master portion control. He’s cool with other cats but keeps it chill, and while dogs haven’t been part of his foster experience, he’s the type to play it cool no matter what.

Jett ❤️

A teeny little one, so much smaller than the rest. She's about 6-7 weeks now, but just weighs a pound. She was born blind, but it hasn't stopped her from being an expert snuggler. ❤️

Meet Kianna!

Kianna came to us with 2 other dogs after her owner could no longer care for her. Although her first several years were less than ideal, you’d have no idea with how happy and loving she is. Kianna previously lived with kids and (dog savvy) cats and has done great with both.

Don’t be fooled by her age, this 9-10 year old is still jam packed with energy and is ready to run and jump around at any time! She enjoys walks and is working on walking on a leash in a straight line rather than zig zagging all over and becoming a tripping hazard. She’s been doing great with potty training on a consistent schedule but tends to potty in the house when left alone, so kenneling has been beneficial to prevent accidents. Kianna is kenneled overnight and when left home alone and does great.

As you can tell, Kianna is a gorgeous fluff ball that while soft as a cloud, produces tons of fur. She’s hoping her new owner has a great vacuum and lots of lint rollers to keep up with her shedding!😄

It’s Kianna’s time to have her dream life, to have her golden years shine brighter than her earlier years!

If you think you could be Kianna’s forever person or if you know someone who could be, feel free to reach out!

Kianna is microchipped, fixed, up to date on core vaccines, heartworm negative, f***l tested, and started on monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. She also had a dental cleaning upon coming into rescue.

****We have let this sweet baby go in peace- she had been kept in a garage since Sunday not eating and drinking before she came into our care today and it all was too much for hee little body to take. Her emergency bill tonight was $480 plus the amount to be billed by the vet for her afternoon stay. Rest in Peace little one. 💔****

We were not in the position for this, but we couldn't turn away a baby needing help. This kitten was found by someone and hasn't been eating or drinking since they found her on Sunday.

We took the kitten to one of our vets and she spent the afternoon on oxygen receiving IV fluids and antibiotics for a pneumonia diagnosis.

Lilo's breathing didn't improve this afternoon and she's en route to emergency hospitalization to support her for the overnight that is looking at an early estimate of another $1,500 to $2,300.

We still have $18k in vetting bills that we need to pay, but we can't let this baby suffer.

Can you help us help Lilo? She deserves the chance to survive. She's just a baby 😭

Benny has hung in there for another week, and for that we are thankful.

He's made 3 trips to the vet in the last week, and one of the days, he had 300ml of fluid taken out of his abdomen.

Due to the severity of his condition, he's been getting two FIP injections a day initially to help him hopefully turn the corner. This runs about $35 per day for his medication. He's also been getting steroids, daily sub q fluids, and B12 injections.

He's been eating pretty well lately and this morning, the dog's Royal Canin Select Protein kibble was the ticket and there was no way we were going to say no.

He weighs back to 7lbs tonight - still a lot to go, but headed the right direction. ❤️🙏🐾

08/03/2024

We are getting desperate. 😭 😭😭 There's so much need but we just can't do it without some help. We are starting to get low on food again too. Especially dry cat food.

This week we've paid another $5,300 to our vet balance and we are sitting at $18,000 left to pay. Benny's current medications are running almost $20 per day.

We are seeking donations of baskets and items that we can use for our upcoming silent auction. Themed baskets, local items, monetary donations for us to purchase items, experiences or event tickets - all are welcome! Silent auction items are needed by August 15th.

If you would just rather donate and help us pay down our vet bill, that would be amazing too!
Venmo:

If you can't volunteer, foster, or donate - could you ask a business if they could contribute an auction item? Everything helps to help us keep helping those without a voice.

***added a few pictures from the last auction as examples, but anything helps! ***

Donation drop offs available in Brooklyn Park, Lindstrom, West St Paul, Inver Grove Heights. Email [email protected] with silent auction questions.

In May of 2023, Nova was used to being a scared dog on the run. It took time for her to warm up to being in a home, and to learn how to be a dog, but after 14 months in rescue, Nova has her home to call her very own.

Congratulations to all! ❤️ 🐾🏡
