FOSTER, foster-to-adopt or adopter needed for FIV+ Henry please? He's a total lap cat, super sweet, just a tad shy at first until he gets to know you. He's a big Teddy Bear. π§Έ
He is kitty friendly, fully vetted and microchipped. We REALLY need a place for him by the weekend. ππππ
PLEASE SHARE SWEET BABY HENRY π

UPDATE #2: UGH. We had what we thought was the perfect home for this kid. It sounded purrfect. No other kitties. No other pets. A loving home for our FIV+ kid. I even got a second application on him and turned it down because the original application came referred by one of our dear friends to the rescue and we wanted to honor that even though we were going to be delayed and taking him a few days. A few days turned into 10 days and they canceled. Of course we called the second application immediately and even though they've not gotten another kitty yet it might not happen. We are crushed for this kid. We don't have a place for him. I had said many times before we took him in that we didn't have room. So here we are now. Can anyone please please please foster this sweet boy? ππππ
----------------------------
Update: ENORMOUS THANKS to Linda T.H. for the last minute emergency help with this sweet boy! Linda recently had surgery and bought us a couple days. We still need someone else to take Henry. Please?! Preferably on Wednesday. πππ

URGENT! FOSTER NEEDED TONIGHT!! πππ
This is FIV+ Henry that we saved yesterday. His finder had done all she could and was going to call animal control to come get him yesterday because she couldn't get him in a cat carrier two weeks ago to go to another rescue. Then after I dropped off a large pet carrier a week ago and some Cannabalm and Cannanaturals (powder) to get him in it, he wouldn't go bear the carrier and was injured and in pain. He absolutely would've been euthanized bc of his fear of carriers. He was trapped early summer and tnr'd but had an abscess (we assume on his hurt foot??) and was probably traumatized by a carrier when he was lost or dumped and found his way to that home in April of this year.
Facebook doesn't let our rescue page out pictures and videos in the same post. It did for about a week a couple months ago but that's the only time since our rescue s
I asked Furrever kitty foster Linda if I could share this video that she sent me a couple weeks ago. She said yes. π
This long haired Tortie girl loving on her is our kid Sassafras, AKA Sassy. Linda so kindly signed up to foster her for us through our Foster Furrever Program 2 years and 2 months ago because Sassy had been bounced around and went backwards. πΏ We weren't petting her at the time. We couldn't but we had 2 years prior. We didn't have a place for her. There aren't a lot of homes or places for kitties like her. Everyone wants a tiny kitten they can pick up and put next to their face. But what about the others that don't belong outside. The ones that wouldn't hurt a fly and are good kitties, but we can't pet them easily? π₯Ί So we created this program for seniors for these kitties that are typically over the age of 3 years old and have a quiet home and extra love to give. π
We knew that Sassy was good with other cats and we had high hopes that resident kitty Blaze would love her and vice versa. It was almost instant chemistry. These two are two peas in a pod. The play daily and absolutely love each other. We have been sooo thankful to Linda for giving her a home with love and knowing that she may never pet her and then one day recently..... Bam! Sassafras turned into an absolute love bug! π
Sometimes it takes a few days. Sometimes it takes a few months and sometimes, it's years. We don't know what these cats have been through before they needed saved, usually from our brutal streets. What we do know is that, with a quiet home, patience and TLC, they can and will 'turn' sweet. For our Sassy, it was 2 years and suddenly, out of nowhere, she went from sleeping on the bed and couch near Linda, to mauling her for love! ALL THE TIME!!! ππ
We're all thrilled!!! How amazing is this!?! And just in time for Linda's hand surgery. π Now she's trying to pet two cats with one hand. πΉ Funny, not funny, but we're soooo happy that Sassy finally
Brunch today. Meal #2. She gets 4 small approximately 1 oz meals today. She's been resting in between. All kitties that are outside hardly sleep because every single sound they hear scares them. They're always on guard. π’ It's heartbreaking to know that so many others are outside suffering right this minute and they may never get found, helped or saved. Be kind to kitties and all outside creatures. They didn't ask to be born. Kitties and other furries can survive a long time on water or even be brought back to life with goats milk. NEVER cows milk! That's a myth! Cow's milk can kill cats or make them very very sick. πΏ

Cookie's home. πππ She's sitting up. π She's on the mend but a long way to go. Thank you to everyone who prayed, donated to her and cheered us all on this past week. We're furrever grateful! π©·ππ½π½π½π½π½π½π½π
Cookie eating her first meal at home last night. She's so skinny and frail but she home and on her way to a full recovery. π
Thanks so much everyone!! We appreciate you!! ππ½π
OMG!! I set Cookie down just inside the house and she started meowing when she saw three of her kitty brothers. πππ She had never meowed before! It took us a second to realize the time meow was coming from her and not one of the others with a new voice when greeting her. π±πππ She wanted out but she's on crate rest for me next few weeks. She still skin and bones and only 3.5 lbs. She's very frail. But she's alive and home. We're so grateful for everyone's support and especially to the amazing Dr.Hayes and staff at Inspirada Animal Hospital. It's a delicate dance when an animal is as bad off as Cookie was. It's truly a miracle that she's alive and home. 84 days lost and not knowing how to take care of herself. This is why we saved her to begin with as a BEYOND cross-eyed baby. And why it's so critical that people stop dumping cats that have never seen the light of day outside and don't know how to survive. Even when they can see. This is why we do the hardest job, rescue. Winter is here and about to get extremely cold at night. It was 47 degrees the morning Cookie was found. Her body temperature had dropped to 97.5 by the time we got her to the vet at 11 am last Monday. Starving and body temps low kill cats and kittens that don't ask to be born into a life of suffering. Cookies home but so many others aren't. We try to save as many as we can but we can't do it without help. Full speed ahead on getting the word out and finding help for the others outside.
TYTYTY for caring and helping us help the voiceless. And our baby Cookie. ππ½π½π½π½π½π½π½π½π½π
We still need donations of all kinds. Daily.

Kittens America and Brooklyn Road are ready! Are you?!
Nothinbutloverescue.org π
Kitten siblings America (female all black medium haired) and Brooklyn Road (male brown Maine Coon) are looking for a home for the holidays. They are approximately 6 months old. They're fully vetted, microchipped, kitty friendly and would love to go to a home where they can continue to blossom. Saved from a backyard in Green Valley as babies they've been fostered with kids but they're shy until they get to know you. They can go to a family with older kids. They LOVE to play as you can see here. Their adoption fee is discounted for the pair as we need someone to help get them over the hump of being picked up more easily. We just don't have enough hands (fosters) but these are the lucky ones that didn't have to be returned outside. π

Our Odie and Cookie at the vet tonight. π₯Ήπ₯² Brother and sister from different pawrents. Odie is our rescue ambassador. We saved him about 6 years ago. Someone had intentionally cut his tail off. It was gruesome. According to where he was saved from on New Year's Day, I believe 2018? He had been outside suffering extreme pain for at least 4 months. With an open wound. People are evil. He's the sweetest boy. It took almost a year to heal with sooo many trips to the vet for new bandages +++ He eventually grew a little nub. If you didn't see our other post about him at the vet tonight, he Is in need of his third and final stomatitis dental. He is reverse sneezing and blowing snot everywhere. πΏπ€§π€’π° Every time he gets his antibiotics and gets better 2 weeks later so he can get his dental. Somebody else jumps in front of him with an emergency. We're hoping that it's finally going to be his turn in 2 weeks. Right now he just has to get better, too. Him and Cookie. Never a dull moment over here. ALWAYS something.
Cookie really wanted to hop out of her blanket when she saw and smelled him. That's a great sign! She looks even better tonight and I was able to hold and feed her her dinner. ππ₯³πππ HUGE!!
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS!!! It really looks promising for her to come home. Of course she won't get to be with Odie yet. She's very fragile. π Still only 3.5 lbs. Baby steps.
Check this out!!! πππ₯³
Cookie ate her 1 oz dinner while I held her tonight. πππ She licked the bowl clean! She looks even better tonight!! She wanted to get out of her bundle and even licked the excess food off of her blanket. Her appetite is back! Baby steps though so she continues to improve and not go backwards. π
See our other two posts from tonight, too! π ...
Thank you from the bottom of our kitty hearts for the continued prayers and donations!! ππ½π½π½π½π½π
Cookie gave Dr.Hayes an Eskimo kiss when I handed her back off last night. Sooo sweet. We can't thank her enough for her expertise and tender loving care of our tiny girl. She's still 3.5 lbs. We hope she keeps eating and getting stronger and will start to gain her weight back next week. Baby steps. She's going to have a large bill when all is said and done. Her mouth is a wreck but that's to be addressed next year long after she is healed and home for a long while. We just need to get her home. Hopefully early next week if she keeps this up. ππ
