🦃 Thanksgiving Week Safety Tips for Cats 🐱💛
The holidays get busy, but our cats still need a little extra awareness this week! Here’s how to keep your furry ones safe during all the chaos:

🍗 Skip the Turkey Bones
Cooked bones can splinter and cause choking or internal injuries. Stick to plain, cooked turkey without skin or seasoning if you want to share a tiny treat.

🧈 No Fatty or Rich Foods
Things like gravy, butter, ham, casseroles, and seasoned meats can trigger pancreatitis. Keep plates out of reach.

🧅 Avoid Toxic Ingredients
Onions, garlic, scallions, chives, raisins, and anything with artificial sweeteners (like xylitol) are dangerous for cats. 🚫

🥧 Beware of Desserts
Chocolate, nutmeg, and alcohol are all toxic to cats. Keep pies and baked goods covered and pushed to the center of the counter.

🛋️ Watch the Door
With guests coming and going, it’s easy for a curious cat to slip out. Remind visitors to enter slowly and check for escape artists.

🕯️ Candle & Decor Safety
Cats + candles = trouble. Use flameless candles when possible. Keep breakable décor and ribbon out of reach.

🌿 No Lilies or Holiday Plants
Even small exposures to lilies can be deadly. Opt for cat-safe greenery.

🗣️ Give Nervous Cats Space
Set up a quiet room with a litter box, food, water, and a comfy bed so shy cats can relax away from the noise.

💛 Most of All… Keep Routines Steady
Feedings, meds, and familiar spaces matter. Holiday changes can be stressful.

From all of us at the rescue, we hope you and your cats have a safe and cozy Thanksgiving! 🧡🐾🦃

📢 UNPOPULAR OPINION: 6 months is the best age. Period.

Everyone fights over the 8-week-old babies, but let’s be real: tiny kittens are exhausting. 😅

Meet Brock (tabby) and Lorenzo (black & white). At 6 months old, they are the "Smart Adopter’s Choice."

✅ They use the litter box like pros.
✅ They can eat dinner without walking through it.
✅ They are big enough to play without breaking... but still playful enough to entertain you for hours!

They have been waiting since summer to be noticed. They are the perfect size: big enough to cuddle, small enough to be your little baby.

Skip the "tiny kitten chaos" and go straight to the fun part.

Adopt Brock or Lorenzo today!

💛 Amazon Black Friday Week Means More Than Deals for Us… 💛

Even though our rescue is quiet right now, we can already feel 2026 kitten season coming — and with it, the tiny cries, the fragile babies, the late-night feedings, and the life-or-death moments we prepare for every single year.

Right now, we’re trying to stock up while prices are low, because the truth is…
kitten season never gives us time to catch our breath.
It always comes fast, and it always brings more little lives than we expect.

And we’re not without needs today, either.

We have one cat fighting FIP who depends on Churus to keep his appetite up.
We have a picky eater who will only touch Wellness Tiny Tasters — and that small comfort keeps him going.
Our humidifiers have burned themselves out from months of caring for sick and congested kitties.
We’re low on beds and toys, things that seem simple, but mean the world to a scared or recovering cat.

If you’re able to help during Amazon’s Black Friday week, it truly does make a difference.
Not just for future kittens… but for the ones fighting battles right now.

Thank you for loving our cats with us.
Thank you for believing in this rescue.
Your support is the reason some of them are still here. 🖤🐱

🌟 National FIP Awareness Day – November 18 🌟

Today we’re honoring one of our strongest little survivors — Luna. 💛🐾

Luna came to us as a tiny kitten, full of sweetness and energy. Her sister was perfectly healthy… but Luna wasn’t so lucky. She developed FIP — a diagnosis that used to mean there was nothing anyone could do.

But not anymore.

Thanks to the GS antiviral medication — which veterinarians can now legally prescribe — Luna got the chance she deserved. She fought through treatment like a champ, and she lived. Today she’s a healthy, playful girl who reminds us exactly why awareness and access to treatment matter.

FIP isn’t a death sentence anymore. Cats can and do survive with early recognition and proper care.

For more information on FIP, visit the UC Davis FIP Guide:

https://ccah.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/cats/resources/general-feline-infectious-peritonitis-resources

And a huge shoutout to Jenni — the incredible foster mom who became her forever mom — for fighting for Luna every single step of the way. She’s the reason Luna is here today. 💕

Meet Kiki! 😺✨
Kiki is a 3–4 month old kitten who was found on a cold, windy day ❄️ hiding under a van. As soon as she saw a person, she came right out, meowing and rubbing for attention 💕. No one ever claimed her, so she’s now looking for a safe, loving home.

She’s playful, curious, and toy-obsessed 🎾🧶. Kiki has plenty of kitten energy and would do great with another younger or active cat to keep her entertained 😸. She hasn’t been around dogs.

Vetting:
• Will be spayed soon ✂️
• On Revolution
• Dewormed 🪱
• Microchipped 📍
• First FVRCP vaccine 💉
• Combo tested negative ✔️😺

🐾 Understanding the FVRCP Vaccine: What It Is & Why Every Cat Needs It

There’s a lot of confusion about the FVRCP vaccine — especially the word “distemper,” which many people think applies only to dogs. Others assume indoor cats don’t need it. These myths put cats at real risk, especially kittens and medically fragile cats.

Here’s what you really need to know.

What FVRCP Protects Against

FVRCP is a core vaccine — meaning every cat needs it, regardless of age or indoor/outdoor status. It protects against:

• FHV-1 (Feline Herpesvirus): Causes upper respiratory infections, eye inflammation, fever, and lifelong flare-ups.
• Calicivirus: Can cause mouth ulcers, drooling, fever, joint pain, and sometimes pneumonia.
• Panleukopenia (Feline Distemper): A fast-moving, often fatal virus that survives in the environment for a year or more.

This is why vets and rescues consider the vaccine non-negotiable.

Common Myths — and the Truth

Myth: “Cats don’t get distemper.”
Truth: Cats do — it’s called panleukopenia, and it’s one of the deadliest feline viruses.

Myth: “Indoor cats don’t need FVRCP.”
Truth: These viruses hitchhike on shoes, clothes, bags, and hands. Indoor cats get sick all the time from exposures their owners never notice.

Myth: “If my cat gets sick after vaccination, the vaccine didn’t work.”
Truth: Vaccines prevent severe disease. A vaccinated cat may still get exposed, but symptoms are milder and rarely life-threatening.

Myth: “Only kittens or outdoor cats need it.”
Truth: All veterinary schools classify FVRCP as a core vaccine for every cat. Boosters remain important throughout adulthood.

Why It Matters

Rescues see these viruses constantly — especially in unvaccinated kittens. Vaccination protects long before symptoms ever appear and can be the difference between a mild cold and a medical emergency.

Bottom Line

FVRCP is one of the most effective ways to keep cats safe. One quick vaccine protects against:

✔ FHV-1
✔ Calicivirus
✔ Panleukopenia (distemper)

Indoor or outdoor, young or old — every cat needs FVRCP. A simple, inexpensive shot saves lives.

🐾 Upstate, it’s freezing tonight — bring your kitties inside! 🥶

Temperatures are dropping into the 20s, and frost is setting in. If you have indoor/outdoor cats, please bring them inside where it’s warm and safe. Even a garage or enclosed porch can make a big difference. 💛

For feral or community cats:
🟡 Set up a weatherproof shelter — a plastic tote or cooler with straw (not blankets!) inside.
🟡 Keep food and water accessible — refill often so it doesn’t freeze.
🟡 Place shelters out of the wind — near a wall, under a porch, or behind shrubs.

A little warmth tonight can save a life. ❤️

🐾 Wishlist Wednesday: Keeping Our Ferals Fed & Warm 🐾

As the temperatures drop, we’re working hard to keep our community cats fed, warm, and safe this winter. ❄️

The pre-made shelters on our Amazon Wishlist work just as well as DIY totes — once filled with clean straw, they’re warm, waterproof, and ready for the cold. We’ve also added a covered feeding station to help keep their food dry and protected from the elements.

This week alone, we’ve trapped two more community cats for spay and neuter — one is at the clinic today, and the other goes tomorrow. Every cat fixed means fewer kittens struggling to survive outside. ❤️

Here’s what we need most right now:
🟡 Pre-Made Feral Shelters – weather-resistant and easy to set up
🟡 Straw – the safest, warmest insulation for outdoor shelters (remember: straw, not hay!)
🟡 Canned & Dry Cat Food – extra calories help outdoor cats stay warm

💛 Every item helps us give community cats a safe, dry place to sleep and a full belly to face the cold months ahead.

🍂 Looking for a couch-potato friend who loves everyone and everything? 🍂
Meet Nemo — your new cuddle buddy for fall! 🧡

This easygoing guy loves curling up for naps, following you around for pets, and greeting everyone he meets. He’s gentle, affectionate, and gets along great with both cats and dogs.

Nemo is getting neutered this Tuesday, is combo negative, microchipped, dewormed, and on Revolution Plus. Once he’s all healed up, he’ll be ready to head to his forever home — just in time for the chilly weather and cozy cuddles. 🛋️🐾

🐾 Winter Help for Our Feral Friends 🐾

We’re so grateful to have already received two donated feral cat shelters — thank you so much to everyone who’s helped make that happen! 💛

As we get ready for the colder months, we’re still in need of straw to keep our outdoor kitties warm, dry, and comfortable this winter. We’ve added premium, high-quality straw to our Amazon Wishlist, along with a few other essential supplies.

🐱 Canned and dry cat food are also greatly needed to help keep these community cats fed and healthy all season long. Every donation — big or small — truly makes a difference.

🛒 Wishlist: http://linktr.ee/sccommunitycat

Once everything is set up, we’ll be sharing photos of the shelters and the kitties who will benefit! 📸

We’re also looking for help trapping a small colony of 4–5 cats in Inman so they can be safely spayed and neutered before temperatures drop. If you’re able to help, please reach out!

🚗 We’re happy to accept straw drop-offs in Inman or Boiling Springs for the feral shelters. Local stores like Tractor Supply, Rural King, or landscape supply shops usually carry it — and remember: hay is for horses, straw is for strays! 😉

❄️ Thank you for helping us care for the strays who depend on us. Your kindness keeps them safe, warm, and loved all winter long. 💛🐾
