We had the honor of decorating a room at Valor Veterinary Emergency Hospital! We used paintings we did, many of local animals.❤️ I hope they can bring a little extra comfort to people that find themselves visiting there. Valor is an ER vet clinic that is open 24/7 for your pets emergency needs. That’s a huge comfort in itself!

On September 1st of 2023, we rescued TJ from Caddo parish animal control. At the time, he was 15 years old. He had matting and hair loss underneath. Our vet clinic would find TJ to be un-neutered with recurrent uti issues, a bad heart murmur, and some wobbly arthritic legs. We did what we could and got that boy looking good and feeling better! Recently, TJ’s body began having issues again. With lots of vet visits, we finally came to the conclusion that it was time to say goodbye. We did the hard task and scheduled a day. Unfortunately, TJ took a turn and we had to go in sooner than expected. On Tuesday, foster mom and I were there to say goodbye.
TJ (also known as Papa) lived to be 16yrs old. He lived knowing LOVE and comfort in his final year. We had him on daily meds and injections for his joints. He was known for being snappy. 😆 Our vet techs were always warned “watch out for TJ!” and we would all giggle. With time, he found trust in his hospice home with Charlotte. He accepted her as his momma and she got to see the sweet boy he was. He always had a comfy bed with lots of blankets. He got cookies “treats” and was catered to in his old age.
On days where I am sad that I can’t do more… I can be happy knowing that babies like TJ had their lives changed for the better. He was surrendered to a kill shelter, but he was fortunate to be saved and find all the love he deserved. I sure wish that could be the fate of them all. TJ was one of the lucky ones. I know he was happy with Charlotte, being treated like a king.
We have TJ being cremated with Heavenly Acres. If any would like to help us with his final expenses, you can go to www.rockersrescue.org/info/donate
Thank you to everyone that admired him and sent him gifts along the way. His life got to be special because of you too.

I wanted to have a little heart to heart with our followers that see this post. The other day we posted needing another foster. We had 14 likes and 8 shares. That’s all. No interest. Close to 8k followers on here but it doesn’t matter. My heart hurts when I WANT to help animals but I can’t. My hurt hurts when adopters return animals to us years later and we have to figure out where to place them when their former foster home is gone or has different pets. My heart hurts that I myself cannot take in another because my hands are already full. Our donations are down as we didn’t get to do an auction this year and in general, everything is more expensive. Our foster count is down as well. I have seniors and special needs pets under us that still rely on us. Some days it’s just upsetting when our heart wants to do more, but to be our very best, we must say no. I’m hoping some help will fall into our laps soon. It takes a village.

P.S. Look how handsome senior Miko is in his winter sweater that was donated to him ❤️

KITTY FOSTER NEEDED (not for this one, but for one of the many in our local shelter!) 🥳 When you foster, you are helping us change a life. You are helping them get out of an environment where they are more at risk of becoming sick. You are giving the shelter space to aid another life. You are helping a kitty learn and get love and attention while we network them for a family. You are helping a future family welcome their new pet into their home! You are helping make a difference!
If you are interested in joining our team and helping us save another kitty, please reach out.
You can live within any of the local areas around Shreveport/ Bossier. We even have members in Bethany and Haughton and our vet is in Benton. 🥰 Your current pets do need to be utd and altered. Our volunteers represent good pet ownership. Please consider helping us.

We would also love to add an entrusted dog foster. The problem is that my home is full, and I am the back up if the foster bails. So without security, it is hard to gain a new dog foster until we have an adoption.

We also spent over $2k on our last vet bill 💵
Donations are appreciated. Stay tuned for a little Christmas fundraiser and also see our Shirt Fundraiser for Rockers Rescue .

A KITE ADOPTION! 🎉
Kite came to us from Bossier City Animal Control. He was scared and hissy so I knew he needed some good one on one to change his life for the better. While I see tons of cats each week doing their photos for Buddies page, little Kite snagged my heart quick and I knew he needed us. From scared to snuggles, Kite was ready for a home. Elizabeth was looking for a little orange boy and came across Kite online and fell in love. She was SO excited to scoop him up for snuggles. Matter of fact, the whole adoption he was being cuddled in a lap! We are so happy for Kite and Elizabeth!!!!

🙀We need another kitty foster! If you’re interested in joining our team please message us!

Little Murphy went in for his yearly the other day. We attempted to do it without his sedation, but he became a wild eyed weasel and had to be sedated anyways 🤦‍♀️😆 Murphy’s spicy side is why he’s a lifer with us. Once upon a time, he was abandoned at a gas station and had a village of people help catch him. We are glad he’s found peace and happiness with us though.
Our latest vet bill was over $2k please stay tuned as we post up some other fundraisers! We also have our Shirt Fundraiser for Rockers Rescue .

In loving memory- In 2016, Cori and I drove to an oilfield site in the middle of nowhere to go check on a dog that was there in bad shape. We snatched up that little oil field puppy we named Rori and turned her into a princess. The day we loaded her, we talked about these cute little bugs in the truck with us. We found out they were baby ticks 😆 we often joke about Rori’s cute bugs. She also got a delicious hamburger to celebrate leaving her old life behind. It was our first stop once we got off that dusty road. She happily scarfed that burger down with a grin.
Cori and her husband Jason would end up adopting Rori. She got to stay in the family and get all the love and attention she deserved. 8 years of the best new life. Recently, we got the news that Rori had lymphoma and didn’t have long. Maybe a couple weeks. That news was hard to take. I was sick and unable to visit with Rori, so I did the next best thing I could think of. I sent her mom a little money to get Rori another hamburger. It’s how Cori and I celebrated getting her and just seemed like a good way to send my love. Rori enjoyed that hamburger and the final time she had left with her mom and dad.
Saying goodbye is not easy. We appreciate your prayers for Rori’s family as they tackle the sudden loss of their precious potato. I’m so thankful her life changed for the better back then and she got to have such an amazing home and family. The words are hard to sum up this precious girls life… but it was filled with love as soon as we scooped her up all those years ago.

🎉Valka ADOPTED!!🎉
Our beautiful girl is headed to Texas with her new dad! Justin saw Valka online after he’d been searching for a friend to join him in his new home. With a new house… you need a pet to fill it with love!
Valka originally came to us from our friends at Bossier City Animal Control. She wasn’t feeling very good and we got her to our vet to be treated. Once better, this pretty girl cracked us up with her s***k, sassiness, and snuggles. We had to run her into the vet recently for a skin reaction too, causing her adoption to be postponed a tad. With a vet check over and some meds… she was finally ready to meet her new daddy! We know she will love her one on one time in her new home! ❤️

Kite is available for Adoption! 💙
Everyone adores this boy. He did a little trial with a family but sadly one of their cats wasn’t handling the new member well. They loved him lots though and, like us, want him to find an amazing home. Help us find it! Kites bio is at www.rockersrescue.org

Today we had an ASTRID ADOPTION!! 🎉
While at the Oschner/LSU worker appreciation event, Cierra spotted Astrid with us. Before even getting near, her face lit up and she gasped when she saw Astrid. I think that’s what we can call love at first sight! Cierra has a very spoiled kitty at home and knew she needed Astrid to join their family too. She came by our booth 3 times to hold and love on her.

After lots of visiting and talking, we remembered that Astrid is a bit special 😆 and we told Cierra all about how our sweet kitty was dumped at a vet clinic with a broken foot and toes. Our vet clinic said the breaks were healing well and with time Astrid got better and better with her wonky foot. Cierra didn’t mind at all that Astrid was special. She loved her just like we do!
Our volunteer messaged Cierra a picture of Astrid saying “HI MOM! When do you want to set up my adoption? Love, Astrid.” 🤣❤️ She was so happy and immediately went shopping for even more kitty goodies. We are super happy for little Astrid and her new mom! 🎊
