We live in the Fondren neighborhood in Jackson, MS, and we foster kittens & Trap/Neuter/Release (TNR) feral cats.

Our girl Puss has had the roughest year of her 10 years on earth. She lost her buddy Felix (our cat for 16 years) in June, and a bunch of kittens moved in. Smells of unfamiliar cats were everywhere. She has adjusted to her new siblings really well, and all the change didn't stress her for too long. The past 2 weeks I've seen her be playful with the kittens and is comfortable hanging out with them. They don't snuggle with her, nor her with them, but everyone gets along. We are glad, because we love our babies.❤️😺

All 4 of the Hollowell kitties were hanging out together today, lazing in the sun. Our old girl Puss has grown increasingly tolerant of the 3 little ones.

A picture took of our Bradford, today. ❤️😺

The adorable super soft Rusty who we adopted out on August 13th is not only getting big, but is now confirmed to be a girl! Just like her mama! I guess female gingers aren't that rare, at least around here. 😺
I love getting these updates on my babies! ❤️

Sleeping, lounging cats. A series.

A little update on Charley. She's doing great! The lady who watches out for her sent me this picture, and it made me smile. So glad when our ferals thrive!

My beloved 97 year old grandfather died this week. We called him Bebaw. He loved cats, and I believe that's where I inherited my love for cats. As if I needed more reasons to be involved in kitten rescue, here is a picture I found of him bottle feeding a kitten in 1969. They had him for many years, and his name was Chucka. ❤️😻

It is now confirmed. Charley is a girl! Her spay appointment went well yesterday and we will be releasing her to her colony tomorrow afternoon. This sweet baby is a 5 month old feral who just wants to go home. Tomorrow she will be free!

Mama Tom is obviously enjoying her freedom from us, lounging on our back deck. 😹

My lap is always warm. ❤️

A little update on Charley. We still don't know the s*x, as they won't let us get close. We have determined that Charley is too feral to be a pet. Nothing we've tried had warmed them up to us. Thankfully, Charley has a spay/neuter appointment on September 5 and will be released to their colony, so they won't have to be cooped up in our kitten room very long.

Little update on Mama Calico, the first feral we trapped.
She seems to be doing great! We see her on our deck every day, more than once a day, either to lounge or eat. She occasionally peeps through the sliding glass doors and can see her 3 babies that we kept. I hope she knows how happy all 6 of them are. ❤️

Today was Mama Tom's spay day. This sweet girl will never have another litter again! If she's bright eyed and moving around, we will release her to our backyard tomorrow afternoon where her colony resides. She can live out her life in our neighborhood and backyard with her fellow ferals where she can lounge in the sun on our deck and always have food and water when she needs it.

Sweet Charley is still terrified, but got comfy in the bed we put out for them. We've made their spay appointment, so eventually we will know their s*x. They ate a whole can of wet kitten food and used the litterbox. Hopefully they'll be more comfortable with us in time.

Meet our new foster kitten!

We are calling the kitty Charley, because it's a gender neutral name and we aren't sure the s*x yet. Charley won't let us get close, so we are unable to tell.

A local person contacted us and said she had a kitten in her yard she was trying to trap, and asked if we could we take the kitty in. She said she has 6 cats already and couldn't take in another. Our kitten room is still occupied with ginger mama, whose spay appointment is next week. So Charley resides in our bathroom until then.

When Charley got here, I determined their age to be around 4 - 4.5 months, because they are a bit bigger than our 3 1/2 month old kittens. We suspect that they are feral, and at that age they are past the window of time that a kitten can be socialized. But we are going to give Charley some time, to see if it's possible for them to become socialized. They might just be terrified, as most cats will be in an unfamiliar environment. Me too, Charley. Me. Too.

We are going to make Charley a spay/neuter appointment right away. If Charley makes it clear to us that they are not interested in being someone's pet, we will release them to their colony. The kind woman who dropped Charley off to us asked that if Charley is found to be too feral, to please release Charley off to their colony in her yard after their spay/neuter procedure. We will always release cats back to their own colony, where they are going to be the happiest among their other feral kitty friends.

It looks like this lady rescued Charley in time, because if Charley is female, they could become pregnant. We need to stop that cycle before it stops, every chance we get.

Tony and Tiny Tim's new family sent this picture today! They look soooo cozy and most importantly, content and well cared for. Makes me so happy!

08/22/2024

Rusty's new family sent us this picture today! Could he be any cuter? 😻

They said he still isn't sure about his new dog siblings, but he will tolerate being in the same room with them. I bet they'll be best friends in no time!

Bradford has become Hugh's shoulder kitty. The tucked in front paws, OMG. 😻

08/19/2024

Ella insisted on snuggling with me while I sat at the table putting an automatic feeder together.

08/16/2024

Tony and Tiny Tim's new mama texted me pictures today! I can sleep well at night knowing all the love my babies are getting. It makes me so happy!

Before our kittens go to their forever homes, we treat them with a topical flea medication so their new families don't have to worry about it for a month. That has decimated our flea medication supply, including the flea meds to treat our own 3 new kittens. Flea meds are expensive y'all. I've just put some on the top of our Kitties Amazon wishlist. We would be extremely grateful if y'all would help us replenish our supply, among other things on our wishlist.

We've adopted out all of our available kittens, so now we have room for more litters. We will need supplies for all the future litters that come to us!

Thanks so much for everyone who has supported us so far, be it donations, gifts, sharing links, and encouragement! Every bit of support means so much to us. ❤️
