Introducing the beautiful and sleek, Princess Pixie! 🐈⬛ She is the bell of the ball. There is no denying her status in any household. She is such a high-class and sofisticated cat, and she makes sure you know it. 😆
She's a sweetheart, though! Not so much a tolerant or patient one when it comes to kittens or playful mates. She prefers her peace. Having her space brings her happiness and makes her content. 💜 That said, she has no qualms living in a home with housemates just as long as she has some spaces to call her own.💜
This bundle of love, clinginess, and attention is Estella! He is a boy. lol As a wiggleworm baby, however, he would NOT let anyone get a clear view EVER. Little man would not sit still. It's like he knew what you were doing and NOPE. He wanted it to be a surprise. 🤣 So we took a guess in the dark, and it was wrong. He likes the name, though, and responds to it happily. Maybe that was his goal all along. 😉
He's the biggest bundle of love yo everyone - human and animal alike. ❤️ If he could be with you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, he absolutely would. Nothing in the world could or would make him happier than being with his person and just loving and being loved unconditionally!
He was rescued along with his 2 brothers from under a porch. Their mother hadn't been around in a few days at that point, so that was when one of our locations was called. It was a 2 state drive to pick up these little guys were 4 weeks at the time, and they were healthy, minus a horrible flea infestation. We got that handled quickly, though. They were scared out first until they realized they were in for a life of love, luxury, and an extended family until their forever home could be found! 💙 They've been happy, playful, bundles of joy since! Their foster & sinblings are happy to have them!
Excuse the mess in the background! We couldn't resist sharing this moment with you all. Taking a break from packing, moving, reorganizing, and some serious cleaning (due to a busted pipe and some flooding), we all had to give this little guy some much needed attention!
Mr. Bean (who has obtained the nickname "Little Dude") is doing much better and really regaining his strength. We're all so happy about this! He has really become a playful fella! Very demanding, too! 😂
All his family members at the Sanctuary look out and watch over him. his sisters have joined him as well!
Also, at the time of posting this video up, the pipe has been fixed, and the flood mess cleaned up! Thank goodness! 🙏🏻 That was not fun! The cats, on the other hand, had a ball splashing water everywhere and leaving paw prints all over the Sanctuary. They thought this was very helpful.😂
This little love bug gave us all a real scare. Fading kitten syndrome is a very real thing and it's often times fatal and unpreventable. Mr. Bean here was gaining weight, eating well, all positive signs until out of the blue, he was lethargic, weak, didn't want to eat, nurse, or anything.
A trip to the vet showed he had no underlying issues that we could treat. No infections, parasites, illness, etc. His sugar was low and he was slightly dehydrated despite our attempts to help him nurse. We were prepared to lose him.
So one of our ladies took him in. He took to her right away. She carried him around with her. Let him sleep with her. She helped get him to drink pedialite and mixed that with soft kitten food. Somehow this little guy thrived with her!
Though it was touch and go for the span of a week. Every day we all expected to hear of his passing but each day, he was there. We all were so thankful! Then one day, to her and our surprise, she said he was playing and active again! He's a little miracle. To go from such a frail state to a lively, healthy, rambunctious boy. We're so happy!
He's still safely and happily with his loving Sanctuary mommy who adores him. 💙
THIS is why we all do choose to do this. Tillie, an adorable and loving kitty, had a stroke though the cause hasn’t been a mystery. Watching her go through recovery and watching how resilient she’s been is absolutely amazing.
One of our rescues, Pumpkin, out enjoying the beautiful weather! Some rescues were outside cats. To prevent depression & attempts to bolt out the door to be an outdoor cat again (some cats are NOT good for TNR). So we work with cats to retrain bad habits with leash training. This way they can still enjoy the outdoors and act on their instincts, while not getting into trouble - or worse.
This type of training works best in young cats or kittens. Pumpkin was under a year when he entered one of our locations. He’s not a good TNR because he wants to come home. As a TNR, he would have no home & there are no safe areas near any of our rescue locations.
The Mommy he’s with now has been working on the leash training actively since a second out the door bolt happened. He’s a very happy cat and sleeps with her every night. When he comes home, usually a few days later, he comes right to her. Her location happens to be right off 2 highways. The stress if him getting out can be frightening. She now has a GPS collar on him.
Since leash training has started, he’s gotten much better! Bolting outside has become less of an issue! He’s been at her location for a year as of December 2023.
