To end on good note tonight, remember our boney friend someone reported being at Gunters Landing. Super friendly and sweet! His rib & his bones were showing and the lady who discovered him was leaving the next day (today) She witness a neighbor kicking him and all he wanted was love.

I got him to a wonderful foster home who fell in love with this handsome kitty, then to his forever momma who is head over hills in love. She calls him Johnny Cash. He will be fixed, vaxxed, and chipped on our next spay and neuter day. Momma just couldn't wait. I'm so happy to of found this sweet kitty a forever home. He's already taking over the bed and being Mr Lover Lover ❤️

Congratulations Johnny Cash, we hope you enjoy every minute of being spoiled rotten and loved on for many years to come.

Megaesophagus, something I never heard of until today. It's a horrible birth defect that causes a cats or dogs esophagus to dilate and lose its ability to move food into the stomach. It's also known as esophageal dilation. That was the case today for one of our babies. It's hard to even know that they have it. I think a lot of cases go undiscovered..

My foster mom who used to be a vet tech & nurse was doing supplemental feeding with a syringe between meals to help little man grow. With those sharp teeth, he bit off a tiny piece of the ni**le. My foster mom noticed and immediately reached out for help. Our little man Aka nutterbutter was vomiting a good bit so she was concerned perhaps the tiny fragment of ni**le was causing a blockage and rushed him to Westside. Dr Lauren gave him barium which is a white, chalky powder that's mixed with water to create a liquid that's used to help doctors see the inside of the digestive tract during X-rays or CT scans. Another words it would coat and highlight any foreign object so that it be seen on x-ray.

On the second set of xrays that is when Dr. Lauren discovered a serious case of megaesophagus. Even her dad who's been an outstanding wonderful vet in our community for more than 50 years has never seen a case of megaesophagus this bad. It's not just that he has it, his esophagus is enormous. He can't swallow the food down to his stomach so it sits in his throat and ulcerates causing painful sores in his throat. They have terrible acid reflux and it's super painful for them. Because of this, they often have other health issues. Many cats succumb to aspiration pneumonia. Sadly, there is no cure for this.

You may wonder like I did, why now? How come he lived to be 9 weeks old.

So, when as a kitten they nurse and drink milk or is on a soft food diet mixed with milk replacer like he was, gravity was doing it's job. Plus our foster mom is super attentive and burps the little ones. Holds and pats after they eat so he had been working a lot of it down. As he's growing and eating more solids his health challenges became more evident.

It's a thousand wonders we even found answers. Had he not bitten off the tip of the ni**le this would've gone undiscovered and most likely he would've passed away without us ever knowing what was wrong. We would've woken up to find little nutterbutter passed away and for a lifetime wonder how a lively, s***ky, seemingly healthy angel left us so soon.

He was held, kissed, patted, hugged, and loved until his last moments with us. Our eyes shed tears as his foster mom and I grazed his beautiful head and kissed him countless times while he purred his way over the rainbow Bridge today.

Fly high little man! We love you so much. I'm so grateful to my foster mom who made sure he had a world of kitten heaven around him while in her care. She surrounded the room with lots of kitten toys, puzzles, scratching post, hidy holes, fed him like a king and loved him dearly.
He will be dearly missed 💔

So much has happened this past week with losing my angel Nacho & some other things. I've decided to slow down a bit. My messages stay full, my phone constantly rings, and I try to tend to those most in need. While I'm still trying to find a way to pick up the pieces and carry on somehow, I'm still seeing some cases who are in desperate need like this one cat left in Gunters Landing. His hip and rib bones are showing. He's been seen by a neighbor kicking him so he doesn't get in the garage. He is starving for food and attention. He is a super sweet loving cat. Extremely friendly. If anyone can offer a foster home or help please let me know. The lady who reported this drop off is leaving out of town tomorrow and has no idea what will happen to this cat. He's not safe where he is and he needs help. If you can offer him a home or foster home please let me know. Please share, maybe someone can step up even temporary just to get him safe and fed.

The lady reporting him is willing to help with the cost of vetting so if you can offer a home that would be amazing!

It is with the deepest pain and sorrow I share this news with you. I've cried nonstop, literally all day yesterday and today. I started to post so many times but couldn't get it done. I couldn't fight through the tears long enough to type it out. The pain is unbearable. Please don't expect a lot of replies on this post bc I'm mentally and emotionally exhausted.
I ask myself and million questions. Why Nacho? He was so young, so sweet, so innocent. Who dumped him? How many people walked right by him the entire month he was there starving and being eaten alive by thousands of fleas? Who can "save" his sister and leave him? How alone he must of felt. How can people do this, inflict this? Why did he fight so hard for so long and then leave me? Why can't I have one more night or go back in time and change everything for him? Why do I hurt so deep? Why did I let him down? He was going to my first orange cat. I decided after the ER visit I could never part ways with him but he left me. He left me with a shattered heart beating myself up for all the things I should've done better. What I would give for one more day, one more night, one more minute. I loved him as if I had him 10 years. The way he cuddled up to me after his bath and getting all those fleas off him. It was so sweet and precious. I absolutely failed him and I know it!! I should've done more sooner. I'm so so hurt and mad at me for letting him down.

I believe being out of that container enhanced his little mind and brought him so much happiness. Seeing his tail sticking straight up warmed my heart. It was such a magical night. That last night I spent was full of biscuits, purred, food, and love!

I had to pull myself together to get transport done for these other rescue kittens yesterday afternoon. Ahhh the pain is so intense right now and so many could've should've would've s. We lost our precious angel yesterday morning. Nacho did not make it. All the suffering and pure human neglect he experienced pierces my soul. It hurts so bad. I'm so upset bc we had such a wonderful night together the night before. To see him up walking with his tail up, and happy, filled my heart. He did so so so great the night before. So great! I stopped by his foster moms on the way so she could have a moment with him and he perked up then too.

I was so happy to get him out of the 4 walls of his grey container. He loved sitting up and watching the other kittens play. That's when he really came to life & had mental stimulation. The way he would sit up and watch everything around him was precious. He enjoyed being held and loved too.

The last video I made of Nacho is the last there will ever be. It blows my mind & heart to think of seeing him so happy & excited wiggling out of the blankets when he was removed from that container. He made me so many biscuits and purred and purred. He had such a wonderful night. We cuddled so close, hours and hours. He purred and purred.

Throughout the day that day, after returning him to Westside the next morning, he ate great. He even ate canned chicken all on his own. He was doing so great with eating & p**ping. His blood sugar was normal, his temp was good. He went home with Dr Lauren Wednesday and she called me at 5:30 yesterday morning (Thursday) saying he passed in his sleep. His little body couldn't recover from the horrific damage he endured being all alone for a month starving to death.

I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday morning upon receiving the news, I've been a wreck. A thousand things have ran through my mind. He had an undeniable desire to live & truly gave it one heck of a fight.

I'm so grateful for everyone who helped Nacho with his battle. The amazing vets who refused to give up, Dr Lauren for the one on one care. He had tons of people fighting with him and I know somewhere deep down he had to know even if only for a short while, he was loved.

Rest in peace my soul kitty! Fly high angel and know how much you were loved by so many people. You had more people than you knew loving you. You will be missed and I'm so so so so so sorry you never got to live a life free from suffering.

Nacho Bell Grande time 😻
He is with me tonight and doing about the same. It's a very slowwweee process. Gosh you can feel every rib, vertebrae, his hips, every bone is so defined. He's incredibly weak but he's good enough to be off fluids overnight for a few hours. He'll go back to Westside as soon as they open in the morning to continue fluid therapy. He's still doing heat therapy and eating every 3 to 4 hours. He will be in the hospital at least the rest of the week. He is that dehydrated & lacking that much in fluids. I'm soaking up every moment. I fed him 10ml's a little bit ago. The most incredible thing, he's starting to actually walk 🙀 It was just a few steps but that's pretty impressive if you ask me. He's all cozy and cuddled up in the blankets with heat warmers under his bed making a batch of mini biscuits. Oh I just adore this little fighter. Dr Lauren said his BM's are good and starting to form. He actually JUST (as I'm writing this) let me know he had to p**p bc he was trying to get up. I sat him in the litterbox, he peed and p**ped all by himself. Oh I'm so happy!!
Dr. Lauren removed the jugular catherter and did a catherter in his leg to make more comfortable and clearly he's doing amazing!

Oh finally, great news on Nacho ❤️ The power of prayer, I can't say it enough!!

Dr Lauren called moments ago and is very optimistic. This poor kitten has the will and determination to live like no other. He's wobbly but stood on his own to eat. He's being syringe fed every two hours with a high protein, high calorie Hills Science special A/D diet.

He was leaking watery yellowish p**p, light color (not good) but now it's firming up some & has a brown color. He was going on himself but is starting to control his BM & urine. Dr. Lauren is taking Nacho home with her tonight so he's in the best hands possible. She said he is really coming along and doing really good. No, not out of the woods yet but he's going in the right direction. He was even making biscuits.

She took him off the dextrose and his body is managing and regulating his glucose which is AAAAAAAMAZING!! That is the main thing. If it started spiking and fluctuating he wouldn't have a good chance at all. That is not the case, his glucose is 60 which is perfect!

He is perking up a lot. He's had 10 ML's of the A/D Hills Science so as long as he keeps eating and making progress I have a feeling our angel is going to be just fine. He still has a long road to recovery and will need around the clock 24-7 care for a while which we can give him after being discharged.

The fighting warrior in him is giving this battle ALL he can. I wish now you knew what he looked like when I brought him in. I honestly thought he died as I was pulling up. I stood there at the door trying to see if he was still even breathing while waiting to be buzzed in at the Huntsville ER. The two other people who seen him that night Leah & Shawna thought he was gone too. I never document those typical endings bc that's not something I want to reflect on but man I wish I had of known just so you can see how far he's come! This is an amazing miracle. Nacho has shown me to never lose faith no matter how grim or impossible it may seem. There's nothing our God can't do. Every bit of my soul believes prayer has been Nacho's saving grace as well as the outstanding vets and staff who's had hands on him.

Yall please keep sharing his fundraiser right now. We are still a good ways away from where we need to be but like Nacho, it's in the right direction. You can help Nacho just by sharing with contacts and other social media.

PSA : A couple of folks have reached out about donating yard sale items. THANK YOU !!! I will get to you guys. I've had such little sleep (3 hours last night) about that many the night before. Today was also TNR day in Huntsville and i had 7 more fixed so thats three trips to Huntsville today. I just need to rest and catch up. I'm dragging!

I promise I will get to your comments & messages. Thank you for understanding. I'm usually much faster. My inbox fills up with endless messages daily and I've let it go a couple of days so I'm way way behind but I will catch up! Thank you all for keeping a check on him, praying for him, and giving to save him 🙏 my gratitude to each of you can't be measured ❤️

Soon! I will post a happy video of Nacho before he suddenly collapsed.

Oh Nacho! He's been transported to Westside. Thank you to my mom Cyndee Patterson Perkins for driving me there so I could hold him on the way to our local vet Westside Veterinary Hospital. He didn't look nearly as good as I thought. He did eat a licky treat on the way, he was purring, gave a few low meows, but he's pitiful.

The thing concerning to Dr. Lauren, by the time we made it to Arab he started lifting his head in a quick motion which could indicate neurological damage. He didn't look great but considering he had been brought back from dead, I thought he was going to be okay & doing well. He's not considered stable, he's very critical so whatever you do please don't stop praying. We need a powerful prayer chain right now.
It's too early to know if he's still going to pull through 😭 my heart hurts, it's so heavy, it physically hurts 💔 I can't find the words right now bc my hopes were so high.
Anything is a huge help! Thank you so much!

While Nacho has been the center of attention, there has been a lot going on beside him. I have TNR Apts in Huntsville tomorrow. Two of which have already been trapped from Scottsboro and are hanging out at one of our foster homes waiting for transport in the morning and the other 4 I'll get in the morning.

I also met with a wonderful lady who discovered two tiny kittens, no momma anywhere to be found and no other kittens. These are bottle babies that need 24-7 care. Another awesome foster mom Jennifer has those babies now & has committed to helping them get healthy and strong until they can get vetted. They didn't take to the bottle really well so I fed them 4 ML's each of kitten milk which they took to really well. I think Jennifer is already in love. There's something so special about caring for them at this age. I hope she enjoys it. I'm guessing they are two and half weeks old. So Itty bitty!

Plus we had three today to find homes via adoption fee waived. Just getting these babies homes was priority and now we can scratch that off the to do list on to the to done list.

The 4 kittens who got antibiotic shots last week are finally showing signs of recovering. That's so so so so so so great. They've been sick for so long and had to have steroid shots the week before but now finally they are better. Lots of great things and progress. We had 10 TNR Apts tomorrow, two canceled which is fine, more time to focus on Nacho.

I've had no sleep and I've ran all over north Alabama all weekend taking care of cats and kittens so I'm going to bed and will update on Nacho as soon as I find out if I can get him to Westside tomorrow morning. 🙃 ❤️ pics of bottle babies

Nacho Update : The nurse said he is sitting up and bitting their fingers trying to get the food 😆 it's really looking up for him. They are SLOWLY very slowly cutting the dextrose down little by little to see if his body can regulate glucose on his own. This can not be done suddenly. As a result he needs more time for treatment.

He has a jugular catherter which is very serious & has to have proper tender care and monitoring. The bandages have to be changed every 24 hours and because of how delicate this situation is, moving him via transport is questionable. Certain positions he can not get into or the catherter can come out or drain fluids in the wrong place which can create a whole new set of problems so we must avoid that.
I'm not so sure I can have him moved yet. I asked if I can get him transported to Westside which will save on cost tremendously since these charges are every 24 hours. If I get the green light my mom is going to go with me bc he'll have to be held and secured during transport to my local vet where he'll continue to be monitored & treated.

They noticed when he is not in the incubator setting his body temp drops so he will need to be kept warm which we can do during transport.

I wish you knew how grateful I am for those who are helping with Nacho ❤️ please keep sharing and give if you can! This is a lot to take on, anything means everything.

Again, I'll keep yall posted. I can't wait to see him and share pics of our handsome kitten who has fought some tough battles in his short little life already. Just surviving in this heat and being abandoned shows his true inner warrior.

Please keep praying too and pray we can get him transported. Also any fundraising ideas, please share. Leah Hollaway suggested a huge yard sale, maybe an event. Whatever it takes, we have to find a way and we are trying to hard to brain storm ideas. Drop yours and we'll add it to the conversation. Ways to help us save Nacho ⤵️

Yall the power of prayer is incredible! I just got another update on Nacho, sweet Nacho. First I spoke with staff at Serrias where he was rescued and found out he had a sister but someone got her a month ago which left him all alone. He's been out there for at least a month. No wonder he was in such dire need. They said oh the sister was so infested with fleas. I don't understand how someone could get one and leave the other. She doing good. I had to share that new news

So, Nacho is sitting up eating on his own 😲🥹 can you believe it?? He was so limp and lifeless this morning at 1:30am. Gums white as snow. He was going into cardiac arrest gasping for air, making sounds, and twitching when i got to the ER. This blows my mind! It seems like he's going to recover but we are not all the way out of the woods. Since he's eating on his own, they removed the dextrose fluids to see if his body can regulate his glucose. That will be the telling sign. They said he's getting his s***k so yall keep praying.

I've been on the edge bc some people tell me just euthanize him and move on, this is too much for one kitten. While I understand that i also feel like these babies who have been discarded, forgotten, and left alone deserve so much! It's in my heart to at least try with Nacho so we have a GoFundMe just for him. I'll post a pic of the bill so far. If he doesn't spend another night there it won't be more than $1350. In the low end $850. It's a huge gap I know but his treatment needs can vary depending on what they need to and have already done.

I spoke with Dr. Lauren and if he needs further treatment or observation she told me I can transport him to Westside Veterinary Hospital in the morning.

I will keep everyone updated as the news comes in. I really need everyone, every cat and animal lover out there to share, please share his fundraiser and please consider helping Nacho. Nacho deserve this! He's willing to fight for his life so let's come together and join the fight with him. Any amount big or small is needed desperately right now to save him and it's greatly appreciated ❤️

Update on our macho Nacho, he's not doing so good but he does have a chance. That's what I'm holding on to. I must say I absolutely love the staff and the vet. They are so compassionate and have given me regular updates. They are doing all they can to give him the best chance.

I honestly thought he was to the point of no return, no hope at all so to even have a chance thrills my soul.

His glucose level was incredibly low, his heart rate was 60, now 120 so he's getting there. His temp was 92 and now 101 and he has some minor improvements in his gum color which was snow white. I've sadly held kittens in my arms who faded and died more times than I'd like to tell.

When they leave us, their pretty pink toe beans turn white or light grey. Nachos was still mostly pink. If he survives , he may have some brain trauma due to his low heartbeat and low oxygen for an extended period of time. Only time will tell. The good news is, he's making small improvements. He isn't kicking and gasping like he was when I walked in. He's far from out of the woods. God's angels need called on right now so yall please keep praying. I believe in deeply in the power of prayer.

There's so much more I want to share about Nacho but for now it's a waiting game. He was minutes/seconds away from death. I have so much faith and believe he's going to make it! Foster mom Leah Hollaway and I have stayed in constant contact & talking on the phone with me every time I got a new update from the vets. Our hearts are hurting for him right now. His life is worth saving. He is so loved!!

I'm at the ER vet in Huntsville with Nacho. Yall please say a prayer for him. He was the baby who had a zillion fleas on him. I trapped him at Serrias Mexican restaurant in Arab last weekend. I thought he was doing so much better but tonight when foster mom got home he was non responsive and limp as can be. He p**ped everywhere, white gum, dilated pupils, and weak as can be. We did sub Q fluids and I rushed him to the ER vet in hopes and prayers his precious life is saved so he can know what a loving home and happy life is. He's suffered so much & deserves a chance at living a wonderful life. He touched our hearts in such a special way! He deserves to live, please God help save him in Jesus name please give us a miracle tonight 🙏

Monday started at 6am trapping. I trapped in Guntersville, Albertville, and Arab. Those babies went to North Alabama Spay Neuter Clinic. I also got the very pregnant cappuccino (Cattachino) to her foster home (an hour & a half away) and set up for 8 weeks. Lots of litter, litterboxes, food, toys, treats, bed & hutch. Foster mom Jasmin Hernandez sent updates of momma enjoying pets & food. She's in a great place to have her precious angels.

Yesterday we had 15 spayed & Neutered at Westside Veterinary Hospital and about that many the week before at Westside. We also took in another 5 kittens yesterday morning, plus another single drop off late yesterday evening. We have a new chosen foster mom where momma came up to this ladies porch and just had her SEVEN babies 🙉🙊

A lot has happened although I've not posted, I just haven't had time to post much. We're maxed out and the messages keep pouring in. About 5 messages to start the day today and Monday was three times that. We are always looking for fosters so if you know anyone, please send them our way so we can help assist with some of these cases.

We have two VERY bonded kittens. They were dumped at Publix & climbed the tops of the cedar trees to get away from a vicious dog who ended up attacking another cat there. These kittens have been through it! Their gums where white/grey, they were full of fleas & starved. We have gotten them healthy now & fully vetted. They are kittens approx 9 weeks, fun, and super playful. The boy is solid black the girl is grey with white feet. We're trying to avoid sending them to the adoption center so we've discounted their adoption fee!!
Adoption Fee is $100 for both
They have so much love to give although one is still a tad leary, they're a super wonderful pair. It would mean the world to see them stay together ❤️

Vetting > Spayed, neutered, distemper vaccine, microchipped, dewormed, revaluation, and ponazuril

Must stay together

I want to thank Victoria Sunley Jones for starting a GoFundme for our mission. She called about the six kittens (one had eye surgery) who are now all in our foster home. We also found a foster for the pregnant momma (same location) and I'm going Sunday night to trap at this same location to officially sterilize the colony. She knew a case this size would be a HUGE financial responsibility and decided to start a GoFundMe to help us out. I've never met this person in person but I'm moved & humbled just by her kindness.

Sometimes we have to ask for a donation to take in kittens bc we simply don't have it. Last spay and neuter day (this past Tuesday) cost right at $900 and none came with a donation for their intake. That happens a lot. To be fair, two were dumped at Zaxbys, two were up a tree dumped at Publix, one was dumped at Ollie's, two found behind Walmart, and two on the streets of Arab so there wasn't anyone to even ask for help. I can't say how much it means that someone cared enough to create and launch GoFundMe for these precious kittens! It is a huge case and it will take a lot to provide (food, litter, vet care, meds) and do for this many and now momma & a new litter of kittens so I wanted to share it here and thank her publicly!!!

If you want to help momma & her kittens or the six kittens in our foster home please do and share this gofundme. Please share, it helps a ton! What a kind heart ❤️ Thank you again Victoria and thank you guys for helping and sharing. It's impossible without support!

Foster mom needed for pregnant cat! Please let me know if you can help. Once kittens are weaned we will fully vet the entire family and they'll be up for adoption.
We supply their food, litter, and medical. If you can help please let us know! Thank you so much

I know it's late, I apologize for the delay. I haven't been home long. It's been a long day of transport and rescue.

Here is the results from Cinnamon's eye surgery yesterday. Dr. Lauren did a fabulous job. The eye has a scar on the cornea but she has to feel tons better !!

Before and after pics!

Also she and her 5 littermates are all together in our foster home. These are some true beauties!

As they get settled and adjusted, I'll have more pictures to share. They'll get spayed and neutered next week. Right now they're they're tucked in their hidy holes but a room full of fun kitten toys and much to explore awaits when they become comfortable

Today was a busy day!
Chipotle & Salsa (Zaxbys)
Ollie (ollie's)
Hershey & Lixy (Publix)
Winnie & Gabby (walmart)
Rowdy & Rihanna (Horton)
Mocha (Geraldine)
Wally & Wendy (Arab streets)

Were all spayed, neutered, and micorchipped today. On top of that I was making arrangements for several TNR for feral cats. I had 8 cats trapped and in my car heading to Huntsville when I got notified the vet took off early & has left the building. They tried to call me to let me know but I was trapping so I had no idea. Thankfully I've been able to make arrangements to get them taken care of soon & a temp foster for the older kittens.

By the time that was handled it was time to pickup and deliver. I'm still out right now making my final stop (crate for kitten)

It's been a long day but a great one. It's always a beautiful feeling when you have several spay and neuters.

We have one kitten who was trapped that has a bad eye. We are hoping to save it. She needs a vet visit asap. They ALL got meds & are settling in.

08/06/2024

We are looking for homes for these older kittens. They were once super feral and have been adjusting to the home life with our fabulous foster mom Chandra Walls. They are still sketchy somewhat but they do join the family room, hangout and you can pet them from the side. They dart away at any sudden movement but they really have made tremendous progress. They are beautiful and sweet! They love to follow foster mom around and have taken up play time as a regular event. They need an understanding patient person who will give them their space to adjust to the new home. We had to give them a chance bc they're so young and deserve love! Otherwise they would've spent their entire life on the streets living the brutal life if a feral. If you are willing to take on this challenge and love them, we are willing to greatly discount their adoption fee. They've been spayed, neutered, distemper vaccine and rabies vaccine. Please let us know or send this to someone you know looking for their next true love ❤️

Our bottle babies are doing good except the leaky poo. It started out with diarrhea for the white one. After a day or two of probiotics and no improvements it was time to see Dr Lauren. Our little white baby has such a raw bottom. She got a steroid & antibiotic combo shot to help with that and they both got meds for the Un happy poop. I'm sure in the next day or two they will be feeling so so much better. The big tabby has had much happier poo but we want them to have perfect poo!! These babies had been abandoned & a lady reached out asking for help and didn't know what to do. I wanted to know about any other siblings and momma. Apparently at the time she discovered these babies, this was it. She couldn't get them to eat and was worried they wouldn't make it. Thankfully one of our foster moms Jennifer stepped up and took on the challenge. She's doing amazing. The graduate the bottle today and started eating soft canned kitten food. They chowed down!!

I visited him while foster mom Leah Hollaway was at work a couple of days after his rescue. He seemed to be doing okay, not amazing but good considering the condition he was in. That's why finding his lifeless body was such a shock to Leah. We were not expecting this in anyway. He is doing much better but we still need community support to help our small nonprofit save kittens like Nacho. Kittens who have only known suffering all their life and deserve to have an advocate pulling for them so they can experience happiness and love. We can't do it without you and bc of your support this sweet angel who was dumped and alone for at least a month according to employees, this sick, flea & worm infested kitten can & will live a full happy life! That is not possible without having good hearted kind humans who care enough to help us make thay difference in lives like Nacho. Thank you for giving him a second chance, thank you for caring, thank you for giving ❤️ #cat #catlover #catloversclub #catoftheday #kittens #kittiesinthecityrescue #kittenrescue #catsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram #kitty

He has an appetite and is doing good in some aspects. He's so critical and in tye beginning stage of recovery we still don't know. I was under the impression he was sitting up eating & made a miraculous recovery. He's way better than he was when I arrived at the ER but he is no way in the shape I thought and I was told this morning it doesn't look great so I'm begging for prayers 🙏 #kitty #cat #catlover #catloversclub #catoftheday #kittens #kittenrescue #catsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram #

Got a call about a kitten left a Sierra's in Arab. He is ALL bones, covered in fleas (giving revaluation) just dirty and pitiful. I'm so thankful Many alerted me to this little guy. He's not in the greatest shape and needs a lot of love!

Late last night I received a call from someone who caught two stray/feral cats in one trap. I went out first thing this morning and separated the them. Believe it or not the small one was much more feisty. The big one was definitely more calm and relaxed compared to the small one and what I expected. The caretaker there had stroked the big kitties arm and was working on gaining his trust. They are now on our schedule for neutering this week. I treated both with revaluation, profender, and ponazuril. Hopefully they're already feeling lots better! This caretaker is on an extremely tight budget and can only provide food. If you have cat food you'd like to send him please let me know so we can make that happen. I left a couple of cans and a little dry for now. I'll be back the first of the week to get them for their vet apts. Of you're interested in adopting one or both that would be even more amazing! We are just simply looking for loving homes for these guys! #kitty #cat #catlover #catloversclub #catoftheday #kittens #kittenrescue #kittensofinstagram #catsofinstagram #kittiesinthecityrescue

Kitten has to have a procedure to fix third eyelid. It's grown/stuck to the inner eyelids and now has to be cut to fix so she can go on to live a normal life and have full use of her eye. She's at the hospital now Westside Veterinary Hospital The wonderful Dr Lauren is performing her surgery on her eye today. I will post follow ups!

There's something special about that first night being rescued. Some hide and others just know everything's okay now. It's a precious process and there is NOTHING more heartwarming and emotionally rewarding than watching kittens who've never experienced this life enjoy every minute. The night was filled with lots of love, face wipes, panacur, revaluation, clindamycin, terramycin, prodender, and ponazuril. I thought they would surly be mad at me but they quickly forgave me and allowed me to interact with them. This video is of course after a few minutes of settling in but they started playing with toys. As you can see Leah Hollaway has decked out her foster room in total catification. It's kitty dreamland. 😆 she's done a fantastic job and they enjoy their time very much in foster care!

This is a male cat who lives at a local grocery store. He's very smart and old. He didn't get to be a 12 year old street cat by being dumb. He's very smart and as soon as the traps are out he runs and disappears period! Drop trap is out too. I've known this cat for several years. My next attempt will be dropping a heavy blanket over him. It may look like I'm close in the video but thr closest I can get is probably 8 feet or so. This being a busy parking lot surrounded by traffic and a highway these cats are always on high alert. I'll be going again tomorrow hoping I finally catch him. He's clearly suffering from where the neighbors dog had a hold of him. He's surviving but he needs medical help now. Please keep Us in your thoughts and prayers as we continue to make attempts on saving him!

The story of Chipotle & Salsa. It was along but successful day yesterday. After being tagged in a post about two kittens dumped at Zaxbys, I thought they would be fairly easy to catch. I quickly realized the first hour I was going to have to get some traps. After setting the first trap I caught one fairly quick but Salsa was sleepy and over it! A couple of hours passed and I left her alone and came back that night which was perfect bc she walked right on in. They were both able to spend their first night of Rescue together. Yay! They started panacur, ponazuril, revaluation, and clindamycin for the upper respiratory infection in Salsa. These angels deserve the very best! They had fleas of course and were starving. I'm so thankful to the lady who posted and my wonderful foster mom for staying up late waiting on me to arrive with these Zaxby babies!

Simba getting his leg examined. He was reportedly hit by a car and suffers a broken femur. It's a very fresh injury. He was in a lot of pain but they gave him a shot and now he's on his way to recovery! #kittenrescue #cat #catlover #catloversclub #catoftheday #kittens #catsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram #kitty #kittiesinthecityrescue

Wendall is doing great! Thanks to his foster mom for letting him hangout there. His bath water was so dirty. He's had the works so I'm sure he's feeling better. I'm so glad the workers alerted me to him. He is such a sweet loving kitten that doesn't deserve what he's been through. #kitty #catsofinstagram #cat #catloversclub #catlover #catoftheday #kittens #kittenrescue #kittensofinstagram #kittiesinthecityrescue

I went to Wendy's for breakfast and got French toast and a kitten. This poor kitten was recently dumped. The folks at Wendy's know I rescue so when I showed up they told me about a newly found kitten dumped there at Wendy's. I walked around and called it. He has tons of worms coming out, a messed up eye, and clearly hungry. His life changed drastically today. I'm not sure of gender exactly but I am sure this poor kitten won't have to worry anymore. We have the beay foster moms in the world. We'll get him dewormed, de flea, and start working on that eye right away! #kittens #kitty #kittenrescue #cat #catloversclub #catlover #catoftheday #catsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram #kittiesinthecityrescue

Having this trio checked outine last time. Bellsouth is very familiar with Dr. Lauren as this is her 3rd visit and everybody else's here second. They have a mild upper respiratory infection and we saw Dr Lauren to get that knocked on out. These girls are looking for forever homes. They are the best, super friendly, sweet, lap cat cat. You'll love one or all three. #kitty #cat #catlover #catloversclub #catoftheday #kittens #kittenrescue #catsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram #kittiesinthecityrescue

Tipster my once tube/bottle fed kitten is now a professional biscuit maker. Every day he goes around his pet bed until he's make a full dozen around the clock 😂 he is so adorable and precious. Very affectionate! Sweet sweet boy! I'm so glad he pulled through that horrible time he had!! #kitty #cat #kittenrescue #catlover #catoftheday #catloversclub #kittens #catsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram #kittiesinthecityrescue

Maverick has a little head tilt. He's out newest rescue kitten.

Meet Popiee the sweetest most loving chocolate tuxedo in the world! I love her so much! These kittens have my heart! #kitty #cat #catlover #catsofinstagram #catoftheday #catloversclub #kittens #kittiesinthecityrescue #kittensofinstagram #kittenrescue

Having two litters of kittens checked out today. One litter in particular is so bad infested with fleas, it's taking extra power to get rid of them. They had Dawn baths yesterday, revaluation after they dried, and capstar today. When I checked on them there was hundreds of dead ones around them but still hundreds still alive. Hopefully tomorrow they will all be dead and gone. What an infestation! The others were filthy gross and had bald spots, likely environmental related. I was assured their fur would grow back with a clean environment and good nutrition. We're working hard on that. Everyone gets a dawn bath bath upon intake, from there we use revaluation which usually is enough to take care of the fleas but this was a pretty bad case. The torties, one in each litter, are both the healthiest and biggest. We have lots of medicine and lots of work to do to get these kittens healthy. They are full of worms and have eye gunk as well. They're all on terramycin, clindamycin, panacur, and of course revaluation. Hopefully the next update will be a great one! #cat #catlover #catloversclub #kittens #catoftheday #catsofinstagram #kittensofinstagram #kitty #kittiesinthecityrescue #kittenrescue

That sound she makes when she's eating! I took her to tye vet today. Everything looks good. No broke bones or teeth. Apparently that's her grinding her teeth. #catsofinstagram #kittenrescue #catlover #cat #catoftheday #catloversclub #kittens #kitty

Giving another flea bath. He actually seemed to enjoy most of it. He had is tail straight up. He cracked me up big time with that. I'm highly concerned about his ultra round belly. The tuxedo is all bones so I don't think it's weight or regular worms. I hope it's worms. He could be constipated. We'll get that figured out tomorrow. For now, I'm sire he's enjoying being flea free! He's a doll with a super living personality. I can't wait to watch these babies heal and get healthy! You can support our work which would mean the world!

Today's trio was rescued from a kitten dump. That's been happening a LOT lately. They were flea infested & full of worms. This poor baby had to gave two baths back to back. Just wiping dry, there was so many dead fleas!!! Kittens can die from a flea infestation. They don't have a robust immune system. If you have kittens that are scratching please give dawn baths and deworm! #cat #catsofinstagram #catlover #catloversclub #kittens #kittensofinstagram #catoftheday #kitty #kittiesinthecityrescue
