We are ready for the @downtowngrandville Shop Hop tomorrow!! Here’s a sneak peek 👀 at the deals we will have! 🛍️
Flame came in as a TNR 1.5 months ago. CLEARLY she had other plans.
She was rail thin and profusely leaking from her bottom. It had nothing against constant sanitation and medication.
When she isn't playing, she is a velcro baby. She will hug your face and soak up all the love until you physically remove her.
If Flame had been returned, we truly do not think she would have made it.
How to Trap a Faye 🧚
The key to trapping a Faye is patience. Find a cozy spot and settle in—she’ll come to you when she’s ready. Make no sudden moves; she is a creature of careful observation and quiet judgment. Extend a hand, but don’t insist—Faye will decide if you are worthy of her attention. If she grants you the honor of pets, start slow, perhaps a light cheek rub or a delicate head scritch. Should she deem you especially trustworthy, she may curl up beside you or offer a gentle head bump. But beware—attempting to pick up a Faye is a critical mistake. She is to be admired, not contained.
Faye is a shy but sweet girl who would do well in a quiet, patient home with no young children. She is good with other cats and cat-friendly dogs, especially if they are Faye-sized! You can meet her at our adoption center in Grandville Friday 3:30-7:30pm and Saturday/Sunday 12-4pm.🧡
Update:
Today we trapped 3 tipped cats at yesterday's location and 2 untipped, bringing the total to 11.
We are settling in, getting flea treatment, prepping the others for spay/neuters but... we snuck a quick pet in on one for the already tipped kitties.
Let's discuss calicivirus.
Cats can get upper respiratory infections and mouth diseases from the highly contagious RNA virus known as calicivirus. A four-in-one vaccine that covers calicivirus can help safeguard your cats.
You've met Sweetie before, she came from a large colony at just over 3 pounds, emaciated, and literally on deaths door before a kind trapper scooped her up.
Tests have been performed, numerous veterinary appointments have been attended, and she has been in rehabilitation for a few months. Her illness is calicivirus. The only thing we can do is control the symptoms when they appear because it will never go away.
But what does that mean for adoption?
It means an understanding adopter will have to come in, understand that she will likely flare up from time to time and need medication and support. They will need to monitor her teeth and ensure that, should she require them, dental care is given top priority.
Sweetie is a velcro cat. She wants to be where you are OR where other animals are. If she isn't cuddled up with a human, she is often cuddled up with her fosters dog or cats. Other than having this lingering virus, she is the perfect cat. She would do well in a home with kids of all ages, dogs, and other cats. She is playful and cuddly.
Our big kids are thankful for your wet food donations.
It is their favorite time of day!
Molly comin' into the weekend like...
Wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble (yeah)
Mamba has been adopted and returned twice. No fault of her own. The adopters didn't give her a chance to settle in and returned her within days.
Our fosters are amazing at loving these babies until the right home is found and we always take our babies back if adopters no longer want them/can care for them.
As you can see, she is sweet as pie 💓
