😻 Available for adoption! 😻

Trixie is a beautiful calico young cat. Fully vetted and ready for a new home. She has a wonderful personality; curious and playful. Trixie was found on the streets and perhaps that’s why she likes to follow her foster mom around to make sure she’s near. She loves attention and not surprisingly, her wand toys. She is on her way to being a cozy lap cat. Come and visit Trixie, she is waiting for her special family!

😻Smudge Update, and Available for Adoption! 😻

It’s hard to remember that we didn’t think Smudge was going to make it as she was in critical care for 3 days at MSPCA-Angell with a high fever that wouldn’t break, as well as balance issues. They sent Smudge home with the fever and antibiotics, and a potential diagnosis of Cerebellar Hypoplasia. Her fever slowly came down and her balance improved with each temperature drop. We’re happy to report that Smudge and her loyal sister, Winnie, are 💯 recovered and Smudge does not have CH! After this great news, they are now ready for adoption!

Smudge has found her footing and she is a happy go lucky kitten who definitely has a mischievous side that will keep you smiling. Let us say, with her two extra thumbs, she can turn things on and off, she is curious and funny, and when tinkered out from her shenanigans, she will curl up on your lap. Smudge is very bonded with her sister, Winnie, who never left her side while Smudge was sick. She dutifully stayed with her for a week and gave up play and shenanigans until Smudgy could join her. They are super tight and are now blossoming together. Winnie is a bit more casual and we’d say the more mature sibling. She is quieter, an observer and prefers to lie next to you or cuddle.

They are both happy and healthy and ready for their forever homes! 🏡 They will be posted for adoption (as a pair!) within the next day or so. You can apply and see their adoption listing here: https://www.coastalcatrescue.org/adopt. Reach out to [email protected] with any questions.

While the result of Smudge’s illness has been ideal, the situation has left us with her treatment bills. As a small nonprofit organization, situations like this really do set us back. Please continue to share our gofundme and donate if you can so we can continue to support our mission of helping felines in need!

We are reaching out with an update on Smudge, a kitten in our care who has had quite the week with a very scary (and costly!) illness. The medical team working with her believe that Smudge has Cerebellar Hypoplasia which is a genetic condition diagnosed at birth to 3 weeks. Oddly, Smudge showed zero signs of this condition until she was much older which is rare, but it can happen. We still do not know the prognosis of Smudge as there are still many variables, but we could use all the support we can get. She is now back at her foster and we’re keeping a close eye on her and giving her all the love and support she needs.

Unfortunately, her hospital stay came with a hefty bill, with more bills to come as she recovers and we confirm her diagnosis. As a small rescue and non-profit, these unexpected expenses hit us hard. Please continue to share Smudgy’s story as she still needs our support. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, your donations are going directly to helping Smudge’s medical needs!!

If you would like to donate or hear more about Smudge’s story, please check out the GoFundMe we set up: https://gofund.me/b8004747. Other Coastal Cat Rescue giving options (venmo, paypal, etc.) can also be found here: https://www.coastalcatrescue.org/giving.

We also want to give a shout out to the staff at MSPCA-Angell Medical Center who have been amazing and the support we have gotten from Weymouth Landing Cat Clinic & Hotel which has also been superior!!

Please give a smidge to help smudge!

Iris wants to remind you to take breaks and hydrate today! ☀️ She is very good at both, when she’s not playing with her toys!

She is still available for adoption. She was a very young mom at 7 months old, but her kittens are all grown and found their forever homes so now it is her turn. She is such a fun and sweet girl and we hope she finds a home soon!

😻She is a lap cat!
😻She comes running when you call.
😻She is chatty & interactive, very sweet with a a gentle spirit.
😻She is playful in a mischievous way - area rugs are in dissaray from her bouncing around! She LOVES wand toys as you’ll see from a video we shared.
😻She would get along with just about anyone but she definitely needs to be the only cat! While she is open to all people, she is a bit picky about other felines so she should be your one and only! She deserves all of the love and attention anyways!

If interested, please submit an application on our website: https://www.coastalcatrescue.org/adopt. And please share to help us find her a forever home!

Smudge was born in Coastal Cat Rescue's care with her mom and siblings and had a pretty uneventful kittenhood. Yesterday, when her foster mom went to feed her and her siblings, all the kittens came running except for Smudge. Her foster mom went over to see what was up with her and when she picked her up, she felt hot to the touch, and when she put her down, Smudge was unable to stand or walk. Off to urgent care they went, where Smudge was found to have a dangerously high fever, so she was immediately whisked off to Angell Memorial where she was admitted and still remains.

Smudgy is a sweet 10 week old kitten with big fat mittens (polydactyl) and a black "smudge" on her face. She is super sweet and loves her sister Winnie. Smudge has been a happy go lucky kitten with no issues until this past weekend.

We are doing everything to help Smudge, but as you can imagine, the bill is climbing, and we are at about $4000 to date. Her labs are coming back unremarkable with no clear cause, so we are still searching. They have gotten her temp down, but Smudge still can't walk; she is extremely wobbly and unstable. We need help covering these expenses. If anyone can help Smudge, we would greatly appreciate it. No amount is too small; give a smidge to help Smudge.
