After a very overwhelming response to my post about my Maine c**n fosters, they were adopted TOGETHER! Which makes me so incredibly happy. They were best friends and loved each other so much, and honestly what’s better than two Maine C**n kittens really?

Happy life Nox and North! I know you’re going to have the very best life ♥️

Sadly, my foster kittens Double Stuf and Simon were returned 😿 Their adopter discovered her dad and son were allergic so due to no fault of their own, they came back to me. They are the perfect pair so let’s find them a home! 🌻

Are you ready to open your heart and home to double the love and double the fun? Meet Double Stuf and Simon, an inseparable pair of black and white medium-haired kittens who are best friends forever. These adorable siblings are the perfect blend of curiosity, playfulness, and affection.
Double Stuf is a sweet, fluffy girl with a heart as soft as her fur. She loves to explore her surroundings with wide-eyed wonder and will never turn down a chance to snuggle. Simon, her equally fluffy brother, is the perfect partner-in-crime. He’s brave, playful, and always up for a game or adventure, but once playtime is over, he’s quick to curl up next to Double Stuf for a cozy nap.

Together, they’re a package deal of purring, cuddling, and endless antics. Whether they’re chasing each other through the house, investigating new toys, or curling up for some lap time, Double Stuf and Simon bring joy wherever they go.

Maine c**ns you say? Ya I got em, lol. Honestly I don’t care about purebred anything, but these kittens are some of the cutest ever. The ear tufts? Come on. It’s like having little magical creatures bouncing around my house.

I’ve enjoyed fostering them but tomorrow they get fixed and I don’t doubt they’ll find their forever homes in no time!

The last few days have been a whirlwind. Evacuating over 100 animals from the shelter twice in two weeks, prepping both the shelter and my home, and making some of the hardest decisions of my life.

We planned to evacuate since we’re in flood zone B, but as Hurricane Milton shifted slightly south, we decided to stay. It was one of the scariest decisions I’ve ever made. The thought of moving over 20 animals, stressing them out, and the logistics just felt overwhelming.

Today, I am beyond grateful to say that me, Luke, and all of our animals—foster and our own—are safe. Our home made it through with minimal damage, and we realize how much worse it could have been.

The shelter fared okay too—some flooding, downed fences, branches everywhere, and some water damage from the old roof in the kitchen and lobby. The power is still out, but we’ll manage. What matters is that we still have a shelter to come back to and continue our lifesaving work.

Thank you to everyone who reached out, helped, and kept us in your thoughts. It means to much to us ♥️

And now, I’d be just fine not seeing another hurricane until next year at the very least!

We are safe! ♥️🌀

We’ll post an update on the rescue page shortly, but I wanted to update for everyone who is asking. Thank you so much for your continued support, and checking on us, and making sure we were ok. It means so much to me and everyone at our shelter

We did it again. We emptied the shelter!

For the 3rd year in a row, a major storm has forced us into a mandatory evacuation. The last 48 hours have been exhausting, inspiring, and a complete whirlwind as we worked around the clock to get 124 animals into foster homes.

I’m always blown away by the overwhelming support from our community. You flooded through our doors, eager to help, and I’ve barely had a moment to reflect on just how incredible and impactful that is. 💙

Now that I’m home, I’d love to say I’m ready to “relax,” but the truth is, I’m anxious. Will the shelter have damage? Will we flood? Will the animals have a safe place to come back to? There’s so much more to this than just prepping my own home—it’s about the hundreds of lives that depend on this shelter and the community that relies on it.

So now, we wait. We hope for the best. And hopefully, in the next 48 hours, we can move forward and get back to the lifesaving work that means so much to all of us.

Stay safe, everyone. ❤️

Just a typical Sunday. Got up, took care of my animals, got to work at the shelter. Immediately left to try and rescue a kitten at a gas station, on the way there we found an injured guinea fowl, tried to rescue her (was not successful). Took in my FAVORITE DOGS, two Chinese cresteds. Oh my gosh I am IN LOVE with them. Do I need 5 dogs? Probably not, but sooo tempting. Then, took a trip to with our team to get tattoos to support our shelter ♥️. Got back, pack walked some dogs. Never a dull moment in the life of an animal rescuer 🐾

Topsy and Turvy are a lot of work, and a lot of trial and error, but 100% worth it. Topsy gets around pretty well but Turvy’s CH is moderate to severe so he gets frustrating walking around. So, I got him a kitten wheelchair to help him go around. He’s not quite sure about it yet, but we’re taking baby steps! Special needs animals are just so worth it.

Let’s meet some of my new fosters! I’m terrible at social media and keeping up with posting these days, but I do love sharing my fosters with everyone!

First up, Nicolas Flamel 🔥 this sweet boy came into down in the rear. They discovered he had a fractured femur as well as scabies and sent out a deadline plea. I love a flame point so I couldn’t resist that face! So I pulled him into my rescue We then got him to where our amazing vet Dr Banks repaired the fracture. He’s got several weeks of cage rest in his future but he’s always getting up and using his leg!

I just love this cutie so much! 🥝
