Mario’s Paw is a tiny but mighty team that is an exclusively volunteer run foster based organization in Portland Oregon. Since opening in November in 2022 we’ve saved over 200 cats and kittens from the local area, across Oregon and during our off season of kittens in the PNW we pull from shelters in California. We are entirely funded by donations and adoption fees and are able to receive discounted vet services through our partner vets. That being said we’ve realized to be able to continue to save more lives, we need your help!
As many of you have seen, 2024 is the year of the wonky eye at Mario’s Paw. We all know of our celebrity Moon Moon, we also have 5 kittens with various eye issues that all need more medical attention. We won’t let higher medical costs deter us but the costs are climbing fast!
We’re officially launching our member-exclusive Patreon page! By joining as a $5 or more month member you’ll gain access to new intakes, medical updates and cute photos before the public as well as exclusive content. In addition to that we’ll be posting polls to have our Patreon members help us name our new intakes!

A Day in the Life of Baby Angel. 😻👼😇
On Monday, we will be taking her back into the vet to get more answers about her enlarged red eyes. She also has an abscess on her arm that has been oozing puss. Poor thing! We are SO proud of how far she has come today though!

For those of you who have been following along with Baby Angel’s journey, she is finally eating on her own!!! 😇 We are crying tears of joy. She also POOPED!!! Not in her litter box but she pooped!!! I know these sound like silly things to be thrilled over but for her, these are massive improvements! Angel is fighting to live!!! 🤍🤍🤍

Moon-Moon’s babies are now eating wet and dry food! Where has the time gone?!?

I have never had a foster kitten make biscuits like Simon. He makes them on your face. He makes them on your neck. He makes them on any blanket. He makes them in the air. He makes them anywhere!

Moon-Moon is so precious and the sweetest girl! She is now using her litter box 100% of the time, she loves her babies, and gets along so well with all of our kitties!

Wildfire Mama is still not producing any milk. Hopefully it comes in soon! She is loving on her babies though and keeps them super clean! 🥹
Any name suggestions for this little family???
Attention! We have adorable ear twitches over here!

Pickles!!! 🥒 This little guy is eager to break free from his incubator. He wants to hang with the big boys but he needs to gain a lot of weight first!

Meet Moon-Moon! She’s a beautiful mama kitten of four 4-day old babies. We love her beautiful, large eyes and helping her learn how to navigate our home through her blindness. She truly is the sweetest baby girl!

I wanted to share my last video of Bubba. This was in the waiting room at the vet hospital where we were saying goodbye before his big surgery day. Bubba was a lover and will be missed so much. 🌈🐾

Moon-Moon has settled in so well! She rolls over asking for belly rubs and chin scritches whenever we walk into her room. 🥹🥹🥹 And her babies are thriving!!! We are going to celebrate every day we get with them!
#cleftpalate
Thank you to everyone who is supporting us through the loss of Bubba. It hit very hard and I honestly was on the couch for hours yesterday curled up under a blanket just crying. Reading everyone’s beautiful words of love and support and having my friend and neighbor @tinytimstinyfosterfamily bring us beautiful flowers and yummy treats was such a blessing.
Moon-Moon arriving today so unexpectedly with her kittens that aren’t doing well with congenital challenges kinda got me out of my funk.
All of you contributing to Bubba by commenting, sharing, and sending money gave him a chance. We gave him the best chance! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I want to give Moon-Moon and her babies a chance now. And we will be working our hardest to make sure Moon-Moon gets the help she needs for her eyes. We will be working our hardest to help all four of her babies survive.
Baby Pluto has a cleft palate. He cannot nurse on Mama and he’s only 1.5 oz…he’s a quarter of the size of two of his siblings. The babies likely have other congenital issues that we cannot see. It sounds like the brother of Moon-Moon is the babies’ dad. But we are going to work our hardest and do our best to help this little family get a fighting chance! This is in Bubba’s honor! 🫶🏼

The conversation happening on this cute Baby Bubba video is just hilarious so I had to leave it on. 😆🐾 Everything about this video is just a blessing! Baby Bubba is playing. My daughter scoops the poo. And my fabulous next door neighbor is helping coach our dogs on what to do and what not to do. 😆😆😆 @tinytimstinyfosterfamily
#pectusexcavatum
Baby Bubba’s pre-op appointment is tomorrow!!! He has a cute little harness for the long car ride and has special permission to not have to starve all night due to his tiny wee size. 🤍🤍🤍 Please send this little baby and his worried foster mama all the encouraging words! Our hearts are so in love with this baby boy! 🥹

Watching these little babies grow and chow down the kitten formula makes me so happy!!! ☀️🐾
Seriously, Maggie Moo? 😆😆😆
I’ve tried explaining to Maggie that she shouldn’t be drinking from the bottle anymore and none of the other kittens her age are…she ignores the peer pressure and does her own thing 😆
These three baby kittens are eating so well! 🐾 We need help naming them! The orange tabby is a boy and the tortie and brown tabby are girls!
