I need saving...DESPERATELY!!!

My name is Tiggy. I am a seven year old handsome man. I am a a marble tabby! I was the trusted companion of my human mommy my entire life after she rescued me from some bushes at Jimmy John's when I was a kitten.

My darling mommy has passed away after a brief battle with an aggressive type of cancer. My heart is broken and I am now all alone. My mommy's daughter cannot keep me because she is at her limit of animals where she lives. What now?!?

I need to have time to get to know you. A calm home would be best for me. I have never been around children or other animals but older children should be fine as long as they understand that I will need time to adjust. Life is really scary for me right now and my future is uncertain. Will you please foster or adopt me? I need a new family or my new person to love again and hopefully, you will love me back as much as I will love you.

Love and so much hope,
Tiggy

*If I need to be brought up on any of my vaccinations, it will be done before I am placed.

Hi!

I’m Tinkerbell! I was rescued from an abandoned home along with my mama, Pixie, and brother, Peter Pan. We were living under a house with our mom. My mama was brave and asked this nice lady to help us! She ran to her car and begged her to come save us too!

We are now in a foster home, but we would love to have a forever home! I must be adopted with my brother, Peter Pan, because we are the best of friends. He is more outgoing than I am, so we even each other out! We like other kitties and doggies too. Once we get to around you, we just want your attention. We are the sweetest things.... EVER!

We are both loving and playful. I a fluffy girl with big fluffy ears and Peter Pan is a Russian Blue!

If you’re interested in adding me and Peter Pan (last picture) to your family, please let my foster family!

Love,
Tinkerbell & Peter Pan

We are both loving and playful. I am a cute little Russian Blue! My sister is fuzzy with big fuzzy tipped ears! Once we get comfortable with you, we just want your attention. We are the sweetest things... EVER!!!

If you’re interested in adding me and possibly my sister (last picture) to your family, please let my foster mom know!

Meet Mars,

Mars came to me hungry and scared. I assumed he was feral so I fed him and approached him slowly over a couple of weeks. One day, I just decided to take the opportunity to pick him up and put him inside. Well, feral… nope! He melted in my arms as to say “thank you”.

I'm pretty sure he thinks he’s a dog. He makes the sweetest “coos”, wags his tail when he’s happy and rolls over for belly rubs. He will also “talk” back to you as long as you can carry on a conversation with him.

He’s approximately 2 years old and is a small boy.

If you’re looking for an absolute sweetheart of a kitty or the personality of a pup without the high maintenance, Mars would make the perfect addition to your home.

ADOPTED!

Hi!

I’m Big Boy! My story is quite a mess. I was looking out the window of my home one night and saw these crazy looking cars with flashing lights on them that said “police.” Some big guys wearing uniforms took my human and put her in one of those cars and they drove away. Usually, when my human leaves they come back home, but not this time. Those guys must have wanted to keep my human. I don’t understand why. I waited for what seemed like forever for my human to come home. I was hungry, thirsty, and VERY lonely.

Two whole months went by and FINALLY I heard the keys to the door jingle! I was SO excited and ran as fast as I could to greet my human, but it wasn’t her. It was a couple of nice ladies coming to clean my house out. They were very surprised to see me, they said they didn’t even know I was there. They gave me food, water, and tons of attention while they packed up my human’s belongings. I was so happy to have company, I kept talking to them and giving them lots of love!

They had to leave, and were sad to leave me behind. They told me they would be back for me. They came back and took me to another house. The lady said she’s my “foster mom” and that I need a new home. She makes sure I have tons of food and water, and gives me love! It’s much nicer here, I’m not lonely anymore! I’m hoping I find a forever home soon. My foster mom’s kitty doesn’t like me, so I have to hang out in the bathroom until I find another foster or home.

I am a BIG boy, just like my name says. I get along with most cats, and dogs too! I’m going to be neutered soon, and get all my vetting up to date.

If you need a handsome, super lovable kitty, reach out to my rescue and adopt me!

Love,
Big Boy

Hi!

I’m Lainey! I was found running around all alone, very skinny and dehydrated. My paws were burnt from the hot ground and were very painful. A nice person took me in and gave me food and water. She couldn’t keep me long, so she reached out to a rescue and that’s how I ended up here!

My foster mom is pretty cool and I like it here, but I would love it even better if I had a forever home. I am a very good girl. I love car rides, snuggles (especially on the couch, right in your lap!), going for walks, and belly rubs! I am doing super good with my potty training, and I’m a really good girl in my crate! I love to play with ALL dogs and even cats, too! My foster home has small humans called “kids” and they’re totally AWESOME!

As much as I love my foster home, I need to find a forever home where I can bond with my family. Do you think you can be my new family?

Love,
Lainey

Salutations!

My name is Princess Mononoke! My mommy was found outside and was super pregnant! A nice fellow brought her in so that she would have a safe place to give birth but then he didn’t know what to do with five kittens! Our new foster mommy is also very nice. She jokes that it is like the WWE in our room! :)

I am the shyest kitten of the bunch and a bit reserved. Food is the way to my heart. I was fed wet food by hand a few times and I warmed up. I will come up to you, sniff you and purr when you pet me. I can be curious too and will play with you!

I thrive when I'm with my siblings; I would be at my best if adopted with Howl or Yakul, they’re so outgoing that they end up making me come out of my shell too. I'm really hoping that I will get my forever home soon and I'd love to have one with you???

Love,
Princess Mononoke & Howl, Yakul, Sophie, Calcifer

Well, hello there!

Please call me Sophie! My mommy was found outside and was super pregnant! A nice fellow brought her in so that she would have a safe place to give birth but then he didn’t know what to do with five kittens! Our new foster mommy is also very nice. She jokes that it is like the WWE in our room! :)

I'm one of the tabby girls in my family. I'm not as energetic as my brothers, but I love to play with toys and your hand. I can be a little bit shy, but the second you start petting me, I start purring (I'm a little purr machine) and then I won’t leave your side.! I am very loving, cuddly and I love to nap by a window!

I'd be happy having my forever home with one of my siblings but another kitty friend would be perfect too! I'm really hoping that I will get my forever home soon and I'd love to have one with you???

Love,
Sophie & Calcifer, Howl, Yakul, Princess Mononoke

Salutations!

Yakul is my name! My mommy was found outside and was super pregnant! A nice fellow brought her in so that she would have a safe place to give birth but then he didn’t know what to do with 5 kittens! Our new foster mommy is also very nice. She jokes that it is like the WWE in our room! :)

I am an orange tabby but my orange color is almost a pastel orange!
I am the most social one and the most outgoing too. I have lots of energy and I love to play with my siblings and humans! I have already mastered the art of meowing to beg for food and I will try to climb up your pants to get to the wet food. I am VERY brave! I also enjoy climbing on cat towers and humans.

I'd be happy having my forever home with one of my siblings but another kitty friend would be perfect too! I'm really hoping that I will get my forever home soon and I'd love to have one with you???

Love,
Yakul & Princess Mononoke, Calcifer, Howl, Sophie

I am a FEMALE orange tabby! So, I'm kinda rare! I'm a little shy at first, but I warm up really quick. I am the biggest one of the litter! I love to be petted and to nap on fluffy blankets. I am the most independent of the bunch. I like to play with my siblings but I'm seen playing with a toy by myself just as often!

I'd be happy having my forever home with one of my siblings but another kitty friend would be perfect too! I'm really hoping that I will get my forever home soon and I'd love to have one with you???

Hi!

I'm Howl! My mommy was found outside and was super pregnant! A nice fellow brought her in so that she would have a safe place to give birth but then he didn’t know what to do with 5 kittens! Our new foster mommy is also very nice. She jokes that it is like the WWE in our room! :)

I'm actually a really sweet boy. I am quite outgoing and so curious! I love to play with my siblings but when there are humans around I prefer to bounce all over them. I haven't been around dogs but I'm young enough that I should adjust just find. The cutest thing I do is if you have your hand on the floor, I’ll get on my hind legs, put my front legs up in the air and pounce on it!

I'd be happy having my forever home with one of my siblings but another kitty friend would be perfect too! I'm really hoping that I will get my forever home soon and I'd love to have one with you???

Love,
Howl & Princess Mononoke, Sophie, Calcifer, Yakul

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Please - If you find a bird, NEVER put water in it's mouth. The little hole you can see at the back of this birds tongue is their airway. One wrong drop in there, and the bird aspirates, meaning it drowns. They can't cough the water back up, and it's a horrible death.
Baby birds get all their moisture from the food the parents feed them.
If you find an adult bird that is dehydrated, offer it some water to drink by itself, or you can dip a cotton bud in water, and wipe the tiniest bit down the side of their beak, making sure you avoid the nostrils.
People are messaging me saying they've syringed water in to a birds mouth. This is usually a death sentence, and the bird goes downhill over the next few hours.
If you find a baby bird, keep it warm. If they don't have full feathers, they need a gentle heat source. They can't make their own body heat. NEVER feed a cold bird. Their digestive system stops when cold, and this also results more often than not, in the bird dying slowly.
Warmth is key.

ADOPTED!!!

Greetings!

I'm LoneStar. I had been hanging outside of a house for quite sometime but I didn't want to be outside. They think my owner may have passed away or moved and I was shoved outside. I wasn't doing well on my own. The door opened and I walked on in!

I'm the sweetest of sweetest. I have perfect house manners. I just want to be with my owner. I will follow you, sit on your lap, sleep with you and love you! I want you to be ALL MINE and I don't want to share you with another kitty! I don't mind small dogs but my foster isn't sure about large ones. I certainly wouldn't mind a nice calm kitty friend.

I'm about five years old and I adore being pampered. Don't you think I deserve it? I'm such a pretty girl! You can't really tell from my pictures but I have a big bushy black tail. I even will have a nice conversation with you with my tiny meows. Please don't shove me out... EVER!

Love,
Lonestar
