Our Moon-Moon has recovered from her eye enucleation surgery! She is now cone-free!!! She’s a very timid girl and has not been comfortable enough to roam the house. Moon-Moon is the type that is just content to sit in your lap all day long. 😻

Moon-Moon needs a special home that will be patient with her. 🫶🏼

So the thing about Snow White and her dwarves…is they are all screamers.

Please meet Grumpy. His eyes have now opened…he might be a little uggies but we lub him! 😆 Baby Grumpy is grumpy because he’s the smallest of the litter and his big brothers steal all the KMR. He also has a bald patch on the top of his head which just adds to his ugginess. 🤪

Intake Day is always a long, hard day. This little 5-weeker is staying with us until his new foster mama picks him up tomorrow. 😻 He’s so tired! We tucked a blanket over him and he just fell asleep. 🥹

He’s probably relieved he’s inside for the first time and no longer living under a trailer in 100° weather. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Introducing Princess Charming!!! One of our rescue partners reached out to us asking us to take in a singleton 4-day old bottle baby. Of course, we said yes!!!

Mama Snow White immediately came to investigate when she heard her screaming her little head off during the bottle feed. We let her sniff her and she started grooming! Princess Charming is now Snow White’s 8th second chance baby. 😻😻😻

This is what I saw at the 3am feeding. Our blind Honey has apparently learned that the best place to sleep at night is next to the food bowl for when she needs a middle-of-the-night snack. 😹

Snow White has finally stopped panting and open-mouthed breathing! We are so excited!!! We halted bottle feeding for 6-hours and unfortunately all but one dropped, so we will be back to bottle feeding every 3-hours. But, all seven dwarfs are latching! 😻

Stay tuned for more bottle feeding reels with adorable ear twitches! 😊🤍

This is Zac. Baby Zac finally hit 2lbs and even found an adopter! We sent him to go get his neuter surgery but in the pre-surgery exam, our vet determined his heart rate was too low for him to safely make it through the surgery. 😭 We don’t know what’s wrong with him. We do know that he is 5.5 months old and only just now 2-lbs.

For those that remember him, he was with us back in April/May and lived in our incubator. We pulled him from our Adoption List and he will now just be living with us. Hopefully he will gain more weight in the next 1-2 months. If he does, we will re-visit a cardio consult and bloodwork.

So for now, Zac will just live his best life with us!

Prayers for our new intakes! We are at the Emergency Vet with this little family. Mama was bleeding excessively, panting, open-mouth breathing, and still seemed too big. Upon initial intake, the vet did find at least one more kitten stuck inside Mama. It has been at minimum 17-hours since the last one was born.

We are going to do an x-ray to determine how many are inside and blood work to see if we can find an answer as to why she is unable to give birth to the baby inside of her. Thankfully, the baby they could see on the ultrasound is alive and seems to be doing well!

We had to make a difficult decision today. A lot of you may disagree with it but we wanted to share it to bring awareness to other parts of rescue.

Personally, I don’t enjoy TNR (Trap Neuter Release). My gift is not trapping and releasing. But, you can’t really have an animal rescue without TNR and you can’t TNR without animal rescues. We have to partner with each other. One of our amazing adopters has been helping feed a big colony 10-minutes from our home. We’ve been working with her and will continue to work with her to help get everyone we can fixed!

We dropped off our 8 cats/kittens at the vet today to get fixed, be given their Rabies/FVRCP vaccines, and to get their ears tipped. This is the universal sign to everyone that this feral cat has been fixed. We were told upon pick-up that this adorable dilute cat was lactating.

Typically you are supposed to wait 24-48 hours to release a feral cat following their spay/neuter surgery. This gives them enough time to recover from the anesthesia and drugs, which sets them up for success at survival.

Because this mama cat was lactating, we chose to release her an hour ago. My kids and I walked the mobile home park knocking on doors and talking to people and trying to locate her babies so we could pull them all into rescue. Unfortunately we couldn’t find the babies or information on where her babies might be.

We gave mama cat food, which she ate and once she seemed less wonky from the anesthesia, we released her. Unfortunately we could not track her to attempt to find where she was hiding her family.

We had to weigh the possibilities of her babies starving versus Mama cat being unable to keep herself safe from moving vehicles and predators. Having to make this decision added to the respect I have for those that dedicate their lives to TNR. Thank you to those who work in TNR who offered their advice! This was so appreciated! One day I hope Mario’s Paw can reach the same massive numbers of TNR’d kitties that all of you do on a daily basis!

Smalls face when we try to explain the math behind how expensive little kittens are when they weigh under 2 lbs but eat 2000 lbs of food use 10000 lbs of litter and have very expensive exploding eyeballs and bum legs.
