Not every day is sunny in cat rescue. Miss Kitty came to us in February after her owner passed away, and family couldn’t take her. At 5 years old, vaccinated, and super sweet, we thought she’d be easy to re-home. 😺

After arrival, we noticed she needed a dental cleaning, which we arranged with a vet partner. All seemed well until her foster saw she’d swollen up last Tuesday. A vet visit Wednesday revealed subcutaneous emphysema—air trapped under her skin—and crepitus in her fat tissues, confirmed by x-rays. 😿

By Friday, the condition seemed stable with treatment. But Monday night, Miss Kitty worsened, drooling and struggling to swallow. We rushed her to an emergency vet, where they found a mass under her tongue, likely squamous cell carcinoma, a fast-growing cancer. It was blocking her ability to eat. The kindest choice was to let her cross the rainbow bridge to reunite with her momma. 🌈🙏

Why wasn’t the mass caught earlier? Its location made it hard to detect during her dental or exams, which focused on finding a chest injury causing the air buildup. We now suspect micro-tears from cancer metastasis were the cause. 😔

Cases like Miss Kitty’s show why your donations matter. They support “fospice” cats—those in hospice foster care—and others needing extensive medical care or surgery before finding forever homes. Your gifts provide food, vet care, and love, helping cats transition to their next chapter. Thank you for being our partners in care! ❤️🐾

Without increased donors and adopters, we’re currently unable to take in more cats—but we wanted to share a story of how we still helped a family in need without straining our already tight budget:

In February 2024, we assisted with three feral kittens abandoned under a homeowner's workshop. Our plan was simple: they would foster the kittens, we’d cover spay/neuter, and then place them in a barn home. But during the process, the homeowners fell in love with the kittens and decided to keep them. The cats now live happily in the workshop, complete with a cat door, a creek-fed pond, and woods to explore.

All was well—until this week, when “Brother” returned home with a snare trap wrapped tightly around his belly and caked in mud. We don’t know if someone freed him or if he pulled himself loose from the stake due to soft ground, but we’re just grateful he made it home.

His owner managed to cut off the long section of wire, but Brother escaped before the cinch could be removed. So began the next mission—getting him into a drop trap. He wasn't cooperating, so we left a cat-friendly trap and walked the owner through how to set it up. After the owners experienced a sleepless night, Brother finally went in around 2 AM and off the rushed to the emergency vet.

There, he was sedated, the snare was removed, and he was shaved to check for injuries. Thankfully, despite how tight the snare was, he had no serious wounds—just a rough haircut and a scary experience.

From the photos, the snare looked rusty and well-used—or possibly abandoned. Thankfully, Brother came through okay.

For context: the snare was legal in design, featuring a stop to prevent over-tightening and another to release tension. According to state law, these traps are only legal on private property with permission or during specific hunting seasons on public land.

Given the area, we do not believe this trap was placed legally.

Not our kitten, but yes they do their best to get out of work!

Please read this, we cannot say it better. We are tired, and without fosters, donors and adopters, we cannot take in additional cats. If you feed feral cats, please also take responsibility for their reproduction potential before you are overwhelmed by the shear numbers.

While we have vowed to never have another litter named after Princess Bride Characters, it does not stop us from loving the movie or spoofs.
