Incoming!!!!

Because of all of our amazing adoptions last month, we had some space! In cat rescue, space created fills almost the same day. Which might seem like an endless battle, but it isn’t. I like to think small scale and saving that one which betters the whole. Also fortifying that when I adopt them out, I save two lives. That one…… and the room I make for another. Cat math none of us can argue with!

Pics to come but we welcome a new litter of kittens, and a 2 year old male freezing outside after his owner moved and left him.

For the kittens we teach them that humans mean no harm. Your shelter human means Churu and then becomes a worthy adversary. As your brother in arms cracks and gives in to this Churu madness, the last kitten realizes the reward is better than the fear. They then join us at Kitten School where the real fun begins.

For the two year old. We have to teach him that the human who left him months ago is never coming back. And at the same time we teach him that new humans are ok….. but just this once. And I have to show him that if he can be loyal once more, he will never be in this spot again. I promise. Cats this age tossed out need a few lessons in manners to remind them what home feels like, and always perhaps a little grace…….

He will need to learn to live with others, and how to eat without seeing them as a threat. He will learn on his own that every sound doesn’t mean fear. I can show him what true love actually means, and is not conditional. Out of all he will learn, that is perhaps the most difficult.

So we will welcome the new recruits to a better life that starts now. We will get them fixed and vetted, as they should have always been. And into the most amazing homes!

If you want to sponsor a spay/neuter spot……. They are $65 to $80 per. Or if you would like to send supplies to help them transition, please see our wishlists below! I am attaching a pic of Orbin taken by one of our amazing fosters over the holidays. Why is Orbin still here? He is one of a kind!

You guys are amazing! Thank you from all of us at Kitten Scoop!

Hi Everyone! We have a fundraiser opportunity!

A supporter of ours’ son fixes laptops and said he will pay us $20 for each broken or unwanted laptop we receive. We will be collecting these all this month. Please email for a drop off time.

[email protected]

I know that personal info on a laptop is a concern, but if you do not know how to wipe the hard drive yourself, he can do it for you when he picks the laptops up, and I will confirm they are wiped.

This is the first time we have done a fundraiser like this, so I am sure there will be questions. Let us know! We will answer as best as we can.

Thank you all!

Looking back on 2024, I know that it is a year I will never forget. Our first year in our new building. Despite all the work it needed/still needs. That place is where I am the most happy. Where I can truly make a difference in so many lives. You can’t even begin to place a value on that. I know in 2024, we have done the most for our rescue efforts than we have ever done. Which only tells me that 2025 just brings a challenge to do more, and be better at what we do.

Bring it on. I wake every day with the notion that even if I save one life, my purpose is filled. Even if that life is my own by choosing to go on. I am still winning. I am thankful I don’t struggle with this, but some people do. The new year brings uncertainties that they find hard to comprehend, or navigate. And if you are reading this, and are a person who struggles. Just know that every cat I save……… One of the first things I do is tell that cat thank you, and give them a name. People ask why I do these rituals and the answer is always the same. I give them a name because if they come in bad shape, they won’t die without a name. And I thank them for holding on to hope long enough until someone came to save them. I always then tell them their hard part is over now, I have work to do.

My work, is the very best part of my day……every single day. I get so excited when it’s almost time! It is what I was born to do…….. save them. For 2025 ahead, we will grow more, and save even more. I have no doubt. But just know the cats that cross our threshold, hold on just long enough to be saved…… If you are a human who struggles, your savior is out there…… you too can hold on just long enough. And if you struggle and need some encouragement….. You know where to find me!

And for all of you who simply showed up in 2024..........I cant thank you enough. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our Christmas Giving Tree didn't do so well! Partly because I was so sick and didn't get to post. We did get a couple of cats sponsored with foot traffic but there are still many who didn't. If you want to pick your favorite long timer......or familiar face when you visit, they would truly appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️

We are in need of dry food for both kittens and adults. Also in need of kitten/adult wet food. I will be stopping on the way to the shelter for wet food as we wont have enough for today. So any help is welcomed. Thank you all so much!

"What greater gift than the love of a cat." May today and every day be warm, snuggly and full of purrs. Happy Holidays from the gang at Kitten Scoop!

If you have met little Doja, then you know he is demanding. He is bigger than his brother Kazu, and by far, the loudest kitten in that room. You never know what his issue is. It can be something small as a whisker twitching the wrong way….. to full blown starvation hunger. After all, mom hasn’t fed him in like five minutes. When you walk in, you know he is there. He lets you know just how late you are with his wet food.

He says he is a small kitten in a large world, and he doesn’t want to fall through the cracks of a broken system. He is quite the diva kitten……… I don’t know how that much drama got into 8 ounces of kitten, but here we are. I must admit…. He is the cutest thing I have seen in awhile

Piero is a dreamer. Forged from unicorn dust and pixie plush. He will craft his biscuits in the air, as you hold him like baby, whether you want him to or not. In a sea of kittens in Kitten School….. he is the only orange tabby. He plays second fiddle to no one, yet all who are near come in closer to listen to him play. He is calm and wise beyond his years, errr months….. on this planet. He surely is one of the great ones…..

Piero, Lets have a chat sir.

Chatting is optional, but petting is not! He climbed up beside me to further his point……

Now, How is your day today? Did you do anything fun? See any visitors? Did you chase Lucia on the wheel? Your sister is quite fond of you, you know.

Today was awesome and chill. The neighbor next door walked her dumb dog and then walked the smart one after that. Man, those two need to get it together! Lucia was off chasing Montero today, and good riddance. I wanted to relax, stretch my paws, and take an extra long nap, and wait here forever for you to come of course.

Sounds like a very productive day indeed! Can you tell me why you pulled out Montero’s eyebrow whisker? I raised my own eyebrow at him when I asked…… to emboss the question further, so he knew it wouldn’t be left unanswered.

He whistled “snitches” through his teeth and fake smile. My laugh couldn’t be kept! Piero knew that humble was the only way to go at this point. To minimize the lecture he was about to receive.

Well for sure he didn’t deserve it. Also for sure, I didn’t mean it. I was cleaning his face, since he cant see it himself, and that whisker was dirty beyond repair. I don’t know where he was to create such a mess, but I did do him a favor.

He doesn’t see it that way, Piero. He is of the notion you did it with malicious intent.

ME? NEVER! That’s my bro! I would never yank a good whisker! Even if they do grow back. Takes time, and little man will surely need it! How about I help him out….. we can stick together and I will be all the whisker he needs to get through this difficult time.

How about you just apologize and call it a day? Give it time to cool off and learn all over again what makes brothers actually stick together and what is worth it.

Sure! I can do that! I will go give him his ApawLOGY right now in fact.

Piero! Keep your paws to yourself! Not playing!

Sheesh ok, ok, ok. Its not like I don’t have another brother……

Honestly though, he is gentle and loves to be cuddled. His antics are creative and brave, and all whom meet him love him instantly. Your next heart cat is waiting for you……. At Kitten Scoop

Lucio is a sweet sweet boy. He is tiny, when compared to the world we live in. He is humble, and not bold or brazen. He is a common short hair brown tabby. He is not on the large side, or have distinct markings. He is not super fluffy, or have extra toes…….. Nothing about his appearance will make him stand out and say “pick me, pick me, I AM THE BEST.” I suppose for him, that is quite alright. He doesn’t feel like he is the best. He thinks he is just average, and average sits with him well.

Lucio, why do you always wait for the others to leave my lap before you climb on up? You always sit there on the side and just wait until they have had their pets. Why?

I don’t need to push a kitten out of my way to get love. I will wait for it, and it will come. I have learned this.

Why yes, I am never done until I have pet you all. But what about when people come to see if you are a fit for their family? They are as anxious to meet kittens, as these tumblers are anxious to please? Why not fight your way to the people who aren’t me?

Because someone always loves the forgotten and left behind. Someone will see me, and choose me for me. That is who I want to spend the rest of my life with. That is how I will choose a human for me.

Do you think these human meet and greets are tedious? I mean, boring. I forget I am talking to kittens sometimes.

They are not boring or theedius. I like seeing all the humans who come. They do get around to play with me too. Just never first, and that is ok too. When it is my time to shine……. They wont be able to resist this charm! You will see.

Ok Lucio, I will wait with you, and until then, I will enjoy our daily pets and cuddles.

Lucio is waiting for you at Kitten Scoop

Have you seen Dakota? He is the stunning man pictured below at Kitten Scoop. He is brother to Duncan, I had posted about yesterday. Dakota is the largest of the 3 black triplets in Delta’s litter. Dakota is a one cat show who runs everything. He is first and last on scene and doesn’t rest until he has toppled everything over in an effort to get your attention. He was the first to learn the cat wheel and teach others…… the first to greet you in a room of kitten mews and purrs. He is literally the first and last kitten name I cry out when I am there….. always tinkering with something and pushing boundaries.

Trouble doesn’t quite cover the extent in his name, and quite frankly it is too bland for his nature…. He wouldn’t have it. His flair for the unique and quest for the undiscovered has earned him two kitten stars at Kitten Scoop. One for creativity, and one for leadership. He is determined to stand tall and do great things. A kitten with this much moxie is someone’s heart cat…… I just know it. He is waiting…….. Kitten Scoop

Duncan is by far my favorite kitten in the entire rescue. He is always near me when I am there. He often plays with my strings on my pants while I prepare the kitten plates of food. He is the first on my lap when I sit down to spend time with them. The first to trip me when I am walking through the room, as a means to slow down and bend over to pet him. His tail is always half cocked like he is ready to pounce, but he seriously is just bursting with excitement that his favorite human is there to see him. After all, he has literally waited all day…….. and in kitten hours, that can seem like a year.

Duncan! Get over here! It’s time for bed!

Grumbled mouthful noises……… 5 more minutes!

Ok Duncan, you can have five more minutes, but you have already used them because that was the excuse 15 minutes ago.

20 minutes then, I almost have dis fing!

How many times have you missed it today I wonder?

About 100 times I think. So this last time, I will surely get it.

Well sir if 101 times indeed was the magic number, then you would be the luckiest muted, bi color kitten there ever was. All the other kittens give up after about 20 times.

That is why I have to get it this time. They haven’t learned yet that you have to keep going to get what you want. Sometimes what you need. Never give up.

Never? Even if you are a tired kitten who needs his sleep?

Never……. Even if I don’t get it today, then I am just practicing to be better tomorrow. Then I will get it.

Well that is logic I can’t argue with, I will wait here five minutes more………

If I had to put words to his character, those would be it. He never stops learning and achieving new things. He also wears his heart on his tiny paw. A heart so small that just melts you as soon as you walk in the room. Not just a feline survivor statistic…… Duncan is a friend to humans. ❤️

There is never a dull moment with these two!! These deeply bonded twin sisters guarantee infinite laughs, love and snuggles.
