A reminder to be a little extra kind to yourself and others today 💓

16/03/2023

Sadly, we learned today that one of our kittens who was adopted last summer is not working in his home.

Poor Glen Coco seems to be very stressed in his new home and his family is unable to maintain caring for him.

We need some help - do you know anyone looking for the most handsome tuxedo boy?

Glen came to me as a very little guy, and has grown to be over 15 pounds! He is loveable and very sweet - he just needs someone who is able to help him be the best boy he can be. Glen is still a kitten at only 9 months old and has so much love left to give.

If you’re interested in learning more about this sweet tuxedo baby, comment below or send me an email to [email protected].

Hi friends!! 💙

I hope you don’t mind - and I have taken a few months off to adjust to some very big changes happening. We’re pregnant!

I have been slowly cooking our first human baby all winter and we are so excited to welcome him this summer.

Lisa Pants is VERY excited and has had the important job of quality control for all baby items. Rest assured all items will be properly wonkified and dusted with cat hair before our son’s arrival.

I’m not sure how I could possibly fit any more love for a human baby in my heart with as much space as all of my kitties and foster kittens take up, but I suppose our hearts are meant to expand.

As far as rescue work goes -I’ll have to pause on fostering this year which breaks my heart. BUT I will be able to focus on education and building out my resources which is something I’ve desperately wanted to do!

Thank you for sticking with us on this new adventure. We truly love you all so much and can’t wait to see what’s in store!

we have been sooooo busy around here for the holidays that we haven’t given an update! My little Cheese and Mouse are all packed up and on their way to their forever home today, and I don’t think it’s ever been quieter in our house!

We are so happy to see these two cuties get adopted together to a fabulous home so they’ll spend forever snuggled up.

Fostering these two was SO much fun and I’m so thankful I was able to get them to their next chapter. Good luck lil guys! 🧡🧡

BIG NEWS: we are FINALLY accepting applications on Cheese and Mouse! These two are healthy and ready for adoption!

💌 email: [email protected]
📝application: https://forms.gle/77qZ1Mf7YfrSQhBY9

If you previously applied and are still interested, please send an email to me to pull your application. If you haven’t applied and have been waiting for this announcement- please fill out an application ASAP! I would love to get these two goobers into their forever home (ideally together!) 🤞🏻

They do well with other cats, dogs and kids. They are soooo silly, playful and big snugglers! They would do well in almost any kind of home, but they must either go together or have another kitty friend in the home to play with.

10/11/2022

Hi everyone! We have received over 40 applications on Cheese and Mouse so far. This is just a reminder that we do not accept or consider any applications on our kitties before they’re healthy, vaccinated and have an appointment to be fixed! I am just one person and it is too much to sort through apps before we’re ready.

Don’t worry though - I will announce when we are accepting applications (we’re still battling some tummy troubles) and preference will be given to homes who want to adopt my Cheese and Mousey gorl together 🧀🐭🧡 thanks for understanding!

Now please enjoy these big mittens!

Lisa Pants gets her medication twice a day which means twice a day she dangles her little wonky paws off the counter like this and patiently waits for them. I love her so much. 🥹

WELCOME BABIES!! 🧀🐭 please welcome the newest members of TKF HQ: Cheese and Mouse.

I scooped up these two absolute heartbreakers tonight from a good human who saved them from a really sad situation. Their mama passed away with their caregiver human and they were left to fend for themselves.

They were covered in fleas, fly eggs and some mysterious goo and after a good ‘ol fashioned dish soap bath and flea comb, they’re feeling much better!

Mouse (shorter hair) is a polydactyl and has approximately 1 million extra toes. She is a sweet, shy and feisty little angel.

Her brother, Cheese (fluffier) is a total ham and is equally wide with fluff as he is long. We found out he loves crinkle balls and plastic springs and his chin scritched.

They need a few weeks of TLC before we even begin to think about adoptions, but I’m confident we’ll get them in tip-top shape in no time! 💓

Steve and I are back from a long trip to Europe! While over there, we made sure to stop at , a feline rescue in the center of Rome. In the plaza where Caesar was killed, you can find dozens of ear-tipped kitties lounging in the sun. On the corner of the plaza, you’ll find stairs leading to a small rescue below.

They are wonderful people who work tirelessly to TNR thousands of cats in the city without any help from the city.

At present they complete 4-5,000 sterilization surgeries per year and have completed over 80,000 sterilization surgeries since opening their doors.

I was so impressed listening to them talk about their proactive approach to keeping Rome’s cat population under control, and the compassion they show to all of the animals in their care.

Here are a few of the cuties available for adoption (either from a distance with a monthly donation or for permanent adoption). They all have unique needs and many are blind, amputees, or are paralyzed.

If you’d like to support a wonderful organization who deserves it, consider making a donation to ! 💓

💓 we still don’t have a home lined up for LT, but she’s all packed up and ready to go! Is that with you? Send us a DM!

“uh hello?? Why hasn’t anyone adopted me yet??”

LT has been here for a month now and we still haven’t had a single application! 💔

I’m so sad my little friend has been overlooked. Maybe her forever home is just a share away - if you’re reading this could you help us out and share this post?

LT is 16 weeks old, has the softest fur, the shortest little nose and the biggest purrs. She has the sweetest disposition. She never used her claws, bites or really does anything naughty.

She likes dogs, other kitties and snuggling on the couch with her people. She plays fetch, is patient with my senior kitties and enjoys birdwatching.

She would do so well in a variety of homes, but my biggest wish for her is to find someone who is seeking companionship and loyalty from an animal. She’s the kind of friend that people spend a lifetime wishing they had and I know her soul is ready to meet her forever family.

If you’re interested in adding LT to your home, please reach out or apply using this app here: https://forms.gle/77qZ1Mf7YfrSQhBY9

26/09/2022

Our sweet little LT still is looking for her forever home. She is cuddly, sweet and full of personality. And she has the cutest little snoot!

If you’re in the market for a perfect little kitty, this is your gal!

Still not a single app on my angel girl. How could anyone resist this sweet face?!

22/09/2022

📢 ATTENTION: Larry would like you to know that she has a very cute orange stripe on her forehead.

That is all. 🤗

This is Sadie. Sadie lived near a colony I care for in Higgins Lake.

Last week, the colony feeder contacted me with some concern. Sadie, who is not feral, had joined the outdoor colony and was clearly injured and missing half of her tail (as you can see in the photo here).

Placing adult cats is hard and placing inured ones is even harder, so I was so thankful that I was able to contact Roscommon County Animal Shelter for some help.

This morning I trapped Sadie and brought her to the shelter where she’s going to be receiving immediate vet care and will be available for adoption soon. She is a sweet baby, about 1-2 years old and will soon be on the mend.

I am so thankful for a community who rallies for animals in need and for the support of our local animal shelter! 💓

These two are finally ready for their forever home! Let me tell you a bit about them:

Larry (Female, dilute tortie) is - gently put- certifiably 150% kitten. She is FOOD CRAZY and wants to be involved in any kitchen business whatsoever. She is equally as sweet, never missing an opportunity to stare lovingly at you until she can no longer keep her eyes open. She never wants to be away from her people and she’s a gal who wants it all and all at once!

Joe (Male, polydactyl tabby) is the perfect Yang to his sister’s Ying and balances her out. He always lets his sister eat dinner first and even is so kind to clean her face when she’s down scarfing down a meal. Joe is a very, very sweet boy who - although it’s not his favorite- will let you smooch his face and trim his nails without even a tiny fight. He is also a super rare polydactyl - with a normal amount of toes but bonus claws on his thumbs.

I would absolutely love to see these two adopted together. Kittens do really well in pairs (you’ll never catch me with a single kitten because they’re too much work without a friend to tackle) and these two are no exception. They are both vaccinated, fixed and ready for their happy ending! They both do well with dogs, other cats and kids.

If these two sound like the kittens for you, fill out an app here: https://forms.gle/77qZ1Mf7YfrSQhBY9

idk about you but I’m always nosy about what people have on their bookshelves 👀📚

p.s. can y’all believe we *still* don’t have a home for LT? Share this post with someone who could use a bookworm in their life!

🐱🐱PLEASE SHARE:

Can you all believe I have had zero inquires on my darling LT?

LT, or Lil Tuna (we captured her using some canned tuna) was found hiding on docks and porches in Higgins Lake. She was skin and bones and had been sprayed by a skunk. 😢 She was definitely loved by someone, as she warmed up to me very quickly but no owners stepped forward.

She has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and is ready for her happy ending! She is a very playful, brave and sweet little kitty who shows her affection by smooshing her face into yours, following you around everywhere you go and giving lots of kisses.

She is talkative as well, never letting you forget how much she loves you with her slow blinks and little chirps. 💓

She enjoys other cats and dogs but would also do OK as a solo kitty.

Have you been looking for a kitty like LT or know someone who has? Fill out an application and let’s set up a meet and greet!

Last night we got a call from some friends of ours - they had been seeing a little kitten curled up on their porch for a couple of days and wanted help trapping her. She was a little hissy at first, but with the help of some snacks she came around quickly and was giving me headbutt after headbutt. She’s hanging out in a kennel in my garage until she gets cleaned up and then we’ll bring her inside. We are set on food and medical supplies at the moment, with our greatest need honestly being help finding her a good home! She is about 10 weeks old, sweet as can be, and will be fixed, vaccinated and dewormed for her loving forever family. If you know anyone who has been thinking about adding a special little kitten to their life - send them my way! 💓 and please share this post to help find sweet little stripes a forever home!

well well well - look who visited today. The eyeball fairy! 🧚‍♀️🪄👀 Kittens are born with their eyes closed, and they usually don’t open until week 2 of life. This is because their eyes are still developing and their little eyeballs are extremely fragile! The eyelid acts as a barrier of protection so that their eyes can continue to develop. Once they do open, it takes about another week or so for them to adjust and see clearly (around weeks 3-4). It’s very, very important to let the eyes open on their own. Forcing them open in any way could damage the vision of the kitten and cause discomfort. Here you can see Ernie’s eyes just starting to open - I guess that they’ll be fully open and a little responsive by tomorrow! I wonder how shocked he’s gonna be when he founds out his mom is a blonde lady and not a fuzzy mama cat 😳

Everything I know about my newest foster kitten Rosie in 60 seconds 💪🏻❤️

Do the hustle (all the way to the adoption application) 😎✨🕺 These cuties still don’t have any applicants! How!?! They’ll be neutered on Friday and ready to boogie their way to a forever home. https://www.clawsandpawsrescue.com/adoption-foster-application/
