🌟 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:

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. 💛🐾

🐾 Meet Nemo 🐾

Nemo is an approximately 8-month-old boy who was found outside his foster’s home in Charlotte. He’s adjusted quickly and shown himself to be an affectionate, easygoing cat with a great temperament.

He does well with dogs — he’ll play with them a bit but mostly likes to hang out nearby doing his own thing. 🐶 He’s playful but gentle, has a steady purr that starts as soon as you touch him, and loves meeting new people. 😺

Nemo enjoys window watching 🪟, snuggling, and being part of whatever’s going on. He’s very adaptable and would fit in well with almost any household — with other cats, dogs, or as a single pet.

He’s combo negative, microchipped, dewormed, and on Revolution Plus. He’s had his first FVRCP vaccine, will receive his rabies vaccine, and is getting neutered this upcoming Tuesday.

📍 Nemo’s foster is located in Charlotte, NC, but we can help arrange a meeting in the Greenville or Spartanburg, SC area for interested adopters. He’s also available for adoption within North Carolina.

Nemo’s ready to bring calm, affection, and a little bit of fun to his forever home. 💙

ADOPTION FEE WAIVED — IT'S THEIR TURN NOW 💔

Some of our kitties have been patiently waiting for their forever home, and now is the perfect time to give them a second chance at happiness. They've grown up in foster care, surrounded by love and care, but are eager to experience life with a permanent family.

These resilient cats have watched as their friends found forever homes, and they can't wait to join them. They have so much love to offer and are ready to thrive in their new home.

All of our cats are fully vetted, healthy, and ready for adoption. We're waiving the adoption fee, because we just want to see them happy.

Will you be the one to give them the love and happiness they deserve?

Adopted!!

🌸 Meet Millie — The Comeback Queen 🌸

Millie is a 6-year-old dilute tortie who has been through more than any cat should. After her beloved owner passed away, she was left at the shelter — and heartbreak took its toll. She developed painful lacerations and scabbing around her face and neck and sat like that for nearly half a year. 💔

When we pulled her, we weren’t sure what to expect… but what we found was a spunky little survivor with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. After a round of TLC and one simple steroid shot, her skin healed beautifully — and now her spirit is shining just as bright. ✨

Millie is a total lap kitty who loves to play with springs and strings, adores head scratches and snuggles, and has that classic tortie sass that keeps life interesting. She’ll chirp, flop for pets, and follow you from room to room like your tiny shadow.

Millie would do best as your one and only or with someone patient enough to give her time — months, not weeks — to adjust to feline roommates. She’ll ignore other cats until one dares make eye contact or wander too close… then she delivers a dramatic slap and struts away like nothing happened. She’s not mean — just a diva with strong boundaries. 😅

If you’ve got room in your heart for a one-of-a-kind little queen who’s been waiting far too long for her happy ending, Millie is ready to love you fiercely and forever. 💕

🦷 Recognizing Dental Pain and Stomatitis in Cats 😿

Cats are masters at hiding pain — especially when it comes to their mouths. What may look like “being picky” or “grumpy” can actually be a sign of serious dental disease. One of the most painful and misunderstood conditions we see in rescue cats is feline stomatitis, a chronic inflammation of the mouth that can make every meal feel unbearable.

🐾 What Is Stomatitis?
Stomatitis occurs when a cat’s immune system overreacts to the natural bacteria in their mouth, causing severe inflammation of the gums, tongue, and throat. The tissue becomes bright red, swollen, and extremely painful — sometimes even bleeding. In severe cases, cats may stop eating altogether because it hurts too much to chew or swallow.

😿 Signs to Watch For
If your cat is drooling excessively, pawing at their mouth, refusing food, or crying out when eating, it’s time for a vet visit. You might also notice bad breath, weight loss, or a change in their grooming habits — they may stop grooming because it’s too painful to open their mouth. Many cats with stomatitis also develop ulcers on their gums or tongue.

💔 Diagnosis and Treatment
Your vet can diagnose stomatitis during an oral exam, often under anesthesia. Treatment usually starts with a full dental cleaning and extractions of diseased teeth. In many cases, removing most or all of the teeth gives cats the best chance at long-term relief. It might sound extreme, but cats adjust incredibly well — and often start eating better once the pain is gone!

💊 Ongoing Care and Management
Even after extractions, some cats need additional help managing inflammation. Medications like prednisolone or cyclosporine, pain relief, and regular checkups help keep the mouth healthy. Good nutrition, dental hygiene, and immune support (like probiotics or omega-3s) can also make a big difference.

💛 Early Detection Saves Lives
Dental pain and stomatitis can cause deep suffering if left untreated, but with proper care, most cats recover beautifully and enjoy happy, pain-free lives. If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait — a dental exam could be the key to helping your cat feel like themselves again.
