When we rescued TJ from Caddo shelter he was 15yrs old. It’s been a year now so our boy has graduated to claiming “16 years young” He is on heart medicine, pain med, glucosamine for his joints, and today we started Librela. Librela is a monthly injection to help with arthritis. We have placed both our senior hospice dogs on it. Loving and spoiling these seniors in their final years takes a special heart. He is with our other hospice senior Miko loving life at momma Charlottes house. 🥰 She loves our senior residents and gives them a great final home full of love.

PET MODEL CALL-
Im working on paintings for Valor Veterinary Emergency Hospital. I'm accepting pet photos incase I may want to use in one of the projects. If I use your pet, you cannot have the original as it's going to the ER clinic but you can purchase a print. Feel free to comment below with any CLEAR pictures of your pet. The more clear and detailed the better chance you have at being selected. Face level is also best. Example are the images below. While I can't do them all, I'm also selecting based on the background/design/ desired color I'm going for, so please no hard feelings if you arent selected. Figured yall would enjoy the chance at being selected too. 🥰

Beautiful little Astrid. Last week she had a slight sneezy thing going on. We sent her to the vet just to be on the safe side and she got an injection and has been doing good. She has such a pretty face and a great personality to match. Astrid is also our baby with the healing broken foot. We’re glad we were able to get her from animal control and have her medical done and spoiled while she gets ready for adoption. 💜 she will be so happy when she snags a family

To add to Mongoose' last post. Her and Lupin with Port City Cat Rescue are great buddies. If anyone was looking to adopt a pair...they would not object! Just look at how cute they are together! They scored the same foster home and have been pals while they wait for homes. (Yes, Lupin only has one eye, he had to have surgery) Mongoose was a bottle baby with us that has been tiny for her age. They are a cute little duo.

Little Mongoose is so precious! Amazing little personality. After realizing she was a girl (woops) she also goes by names such as Goosie and Mongoosie 😆 she has been spayed, kitten vaccine sets, dewormed, microchipped etc and is up for adoption! We are creating her bio today for www.rockersrescue.org

08/21/2024

Super sweet precious looking kitten right?! Well she considers herself a KITTEN GANGSTA! Valka is going to be available for adoption after her spay so we are trying to turn her into a LADY…. but she has a few objections to that 🤣 We are pretty sure she has “only child/single kitten syndrome” and doesn’t realize that her play can hurt. Sweet and spicy at your service if a kitten gangsta is what you need in your life. We will continue trying to teach her the proper lady ways while she waits 😆

No dog should live life on a chain or in a cage. It’s a shame people think it’s okay.

08/19/2024

Astrid wasn’t winning at hide-n-seek but she was close 😆 this is our girl with the healing broken foot. She is so very sweet.

It’s time for the news… CUPID WAS ADOPTED! 🎉
If you don’t know about Cupid kitten, let me fill you in. Rescues will often get those “extra special” cases. The ones that are rare and you have to fight really hard and go every extra mile in sight. You have to make hard decisions and worry yourself silly and question every choice you make. Cupid was one of those cases.
I’m going to start at the beginning though. Once upon a time, a beautiful Calico (Momma Val) was all alone at a hotel going door to door greeting people. 🐈She would be aided by Bossier City Animal Control and enter the shelter. She gave birth to beautiful kittens. They were supposed to go to a northern rescue but got sick before transport. Our rescue stepped in for the family. Momma Val, Cupid, Lovebug, and Truffle.
All have now officially been adopted by the way 🎉

When Cupid was little, his foster mom noticed a dip in his chest. 😩(Hooray for observant fosters… her keen eye saved his life) He was brought to the vet and determined to have Pectus Excavatum. His sternum was curved inward, leaving no room for his heart and lungs etc to grow as he did. Without a knowledged surgeon on this rare case, Cupid did not have a long future ahead.

With many calls and inquiries, we found a surgeon in Dallas willing to take him on. 🏥 They needed to place a chest plate on Cupid that would have 9 sutures going from the plate, down around his sternum, and back to the plate. These would pull his sternum into a more correct position. The surgery had a high chance for the sutures snapping, but we raised the donations and went ahead. Cupid was so precious and he wanted to live.

There was a scare with the initial surgery but our boy pulled through. Cupid kept his plate on perfectly. He had to wear handmade shirts to help protect it. Due to some concerns, he had to keep his plate on longer than expected. That was fine but it also left us with many road trips to Dallas. Our awesome vet clinic Benton Animal Hopsital also helped relay with Dallas at times too. In the end, Cupid had a sign of infection and our clinic had to relay with his surgeon to remove the chest plate here. 🩻 X-rays were continued and Cupids chest looked much improved!!!!

This was such a wild journey. So many emotions for us. So many worries, concerned, and questions. One thing we did have though was HOPE. We wanted to do everything we could to let that sweet little kitten survive and go on to have a happy life.

After Cupid healed and was ready for adoption… he very sadly remained unwanted by people looking for kitties. Cupid went through all of that and then he sat here unwanted, unseen. It blew our minds. How could nobody want this special boy?! Along this journey he had a secret admirer though….Her name is Mary Ann and she is also the Queen this year for the Krewe of Barkus & Meoux!
Mary Ann messaged us…. She had been watching him and even donated toward his care. She decided he needed to come HOME! ❤️ Cupid has been getting adapted to his new home and we couldn’t be happier for him. IT WAS ALL WORTH IT. Cupid (now named Charlie) and our volunteers want to thank you all that donated toward his care, helping save and change his life. We couldn’t do it without yall. Huge thanks to his foster momma Stephanie that took such great care of him and to his new momma for seeing the precious deserving baby that we loved and wanting to love him just as much. Yall rock! Those extra special cases make for extra special happy tails!

We had to make the difficult decision to let Timmy be at peace this morning. Despite all efforts and fluids and medicines, his body was deteriorating. While he has been nervous and annoyed with us for having to give him medicines and all, he came up next to me at the vet and rubbed his head around my hand. We loved you Timmy.

08/09/2024

Miko went today to get an injection to help with joint pain 🩵 Just look at that handsome smile!!

08/08/2024

Valka also left Bossier City Animal Control with us for medical. We noticed she had some discharge and wasn’t feeling good. She acted sensitive to touch around her tummy. She’s at our vet being monitored and getting fluids for dehydration. Another X-ray tomorrow incase she may have some constipation issues.

We had 5 kitties total at the vet today 😅 we appreciate any help.

08/08/2024

We visited Timmy at the vet today. His numbers went down again. 😞 If he gets worse, we will have to do the right thing. It’s so hard when the “right thing” isn’t what our hearts want. I would love to see this boy bounce back and have an awesome life. I know my love for him can’t help with his body fighting against itself though. Taking it day by day as he gets meds and they watch his bloodwork.
To help us with expenses: www.rockersrescue.org/info/donate or call Benton Animal Hopsital at 318-965-2371 and say you’d like to make a donation to Rockers Rescue.

This is one of our new babies, Astrid. She was dumped outside a vet clinic and they brought to Bossier City Animal Control. We met her when doing photos there, swooped her up and got her to our vet today for X-rays. Her back foot is broken and broken across the toes. It is already working on healing this way, so we will monitor and see if she does okay. If she presents with issues we will amputate though. This girl is SO friendly and just wants love.

Did you know? Every pet spayed or neutered at Robinson’s Rescue gets a green line tattoo at the time of surgery! It’s a neat way to let future vets know they’re already sterilized. A small mark with a big purpose!

It's about time I introduce Timmy. He's been at our vet clinic a few days and we are unsure if he will pull through. They are trying hard. We would appreciate your prayers for him and any donation help toward his medical.
Let me dive into his story. Timmy is one of the 80 cats that came from a single home and were kindly taken in by Bossier City Animal Control. All of the orange cats were very fat but each week as I go to the shelter to take cat pictures and network, Timmy has been steadily losing weight. He had tons of food right there near him, but just wasn't feeling good. When I saw him last Wednesday I said that's it... you need to come home for some tlc. I asked the shelter if I could borrow him and they were happy for us to do so! This boy would see food and sniff it and walk away. So I knew we had some major hills to battle. I finally got him a "favorite" snack and was happy to see him eating and drinking some. His drinking went back down to a small amount though and let me say, he has been very dehydrated despite efforts of providing fluids. .
We got him to our vet the other day and they've been running tests and tending to him. Sadly since being there he has levels dwindling even with the meds he's been getting. They are trying hard to save him but we aren't sure which way this will go. :( We love Timmy and would appreciate your prayers for him. Donation help toward his medical can go to www.rockersrescue.org or call Benton Animal Hospital at 318-965-2371 and ask to make a donation to Rockers Rescue.
We also took in two kitties today from the shelter that will be going to our vet tomorrow, one with a broken foot and one with discharge. You'll see posts on them soon as well. We appreciate any help.

If you remember sweet Roe that we got from Caddo shelter as a pup, we went to visit her in her home today 💜 she definitely acted like she remembered us. She was SO excited! She’s very spoiled. We get to see her on fb with her fur siblings and they even go to the dog park at times too. You just may see her there one day. It was a great visit!

08/06/2024

Our hospice old man Scooter went to the vet for his yearly. He bounced around happily until they broke his heart with the poke-pokes. Then he happily bounced out of there! 😆 Got to love them senior pets.

Cupid (front) has an adoption meet next week ❤️I know we have all been anxiously awaiting that for him. We will keep y’all updated. Mongoose (female 😅) was spayed at Robinsons yesterday and will have an adoption bio up soon. Someone’s going to luck out with this clingy sweet girl.

08/01/2024

SURPRISE! We discovered this morning that Mongoose....IS A GIRL!
That came out of left field, haha! Orange females are rare and we forgot to do a double check as "she" grew. We will need to get her a pretty pink collar to apologize 😆

Spay/Neuter your pets! EVEN the strays you choose to feed outdoors. If you see an ear tip on an outdoor kitty, that means its already altered (woohoo)

Luna Rae says: I is pretty, I is smart, I is pain in butt to strangers 🤣, I is good cuddler and good protector. I is also fur adoption.

Little Mongoose. 😻 he goes for his neuter next week. Our volunteer says that he sleeps in bed with them each night now and …. wraps around her face 🤣 If anyone is on the hunt for a clingy kitty, Mongoose just may be the baby for them.

07/22/2024

Cupid’s life was literally saved with a life changing surgery and many months with a chest plate. Finally healed, he sits unwanted. He has had no adoption applications. He’s such a special boy. We are just waiting for that special family to come along.

Talk time- per usual, I take time to check our messages and emails that consists of tons of people requesting help with animals. Animals they found, dont want anymore, ones they see at shelters, etc. Today, I did this after hours of also working on networking animals at our local shelter as I do the kitty photos. I do all of this because I love animals.... I do it because I care and try to make a difference. The same goes for the other local rescues too. Busting their butts and taking time away from their families to try to do good. So for me to have an ugly reply this evening was just peachy. Someone with cats they "rescued" asking for help. We sent back how we are unable to help and offered resources. They compared us/our local rescues to "Scammers just raking in donations." Which is laughable but also hurts my heart for that to be said about us. Any donations we do get, go to the animals. We are constantly having to ask for donations just to save lives and take care of the ones in our care. We are constantly having to think of fundraisers just to help pay for basic needs (which if you've noticed, prices have increased on everything these days) We dont get paid. We dont have a magical building to keep every single animal in need. For every 10 we are messaged about in a day, we are also thinking of the tons of ones in need at our local shelters.
It is WRONG to speak badly about the very people actually trying to help save lives every day. We don't deserve that.

Speaking of our needs though, we do need more flea/tick preventions soon for our pets so if anyone can help, please go to www.rockersrescue.org/info/donate/
Hollywood Feed Shreveport and Benton Animal Hospital are also donation drop off locations for us. Please label anything for Rockers Rescue. We do still need more canned kitten food too. Friskies shreds and Fancy Feast pure' are popular ones for us.
Thank you for any help.

Pictured below is me yesterday snuggling a kitten at Bossier City Animal Control while working to get kitty photos done/marked down. I guess its my current photo proof Im not a horrible no good scammer menacing around our local area. I can only pray for people that judge us so cruelly.

Thank you to everyone that helped make this happen for our Buddies of Bossier City Animal Control!
