💲 Five Dollar Friday 💲

Well... it's been another wild week in rescue. Some heartless person dumped these kittens & their mother in the foothills area on Tuesday. 😔They couldn’t think of a better option than to leave them without food in a strange place, defenseless to predators. 😡 A FedEx driver saw it happen, and was able to scoop up the kittens. He remembered my foster Laurie from his route, and brought them to her. Talk about a special delivery! 📦

He told her the mom was friendly, and Laurie went looking for her. She couldn't find her, but we didn't give up! Her and Liz (resident rock star) kept looking (and hoping). Wednesday night Liz went back with a trap, and voila... she got her! 🙌

Mother and her kittens have been reunited. Mama now has the chance to finish raising her babies safely. These kitties will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, & microchipped. We will find wonderful homes for them to grow old in. This family will get the happy ending they deserve. 🖤

The cat crisis is out of control in the Rogue Valley. People are desperate, and are resorting to heinous behavior. 😭 Thank you to the delivery driver who saw something and did something. Thank you to my fosters and volunteers for being quick on their feet, and for going above and beyond! 🥰

Your donations are essential to helping us provide the necessary care for all MCR kitties. We couldn't do this without you! 💜

*UPDATE* Foster found! 🥰

🚨🆘️🚨 Foster needed ASAP! 🚨🆘️🚨

This sweet boy was found yesterday, and clearly needed medical care. The finder kept him overnight, and MCR got him an appt at The Cheerful Vet today. Unfortunately the finder's husband would not allow him to go back to their home. I have no kennels open in my cat room, and no available fosters. 😔

He is staying the night at the clinic, but needs a place to go tomorrow. Melly Cat will cover all medical, and can help with food/supplies if needed. Please message or text if you can help! 541-890-4951 💜🐾

*FOUND CAT*

Male orange tabby found on E Barnett in Medford, near the tasting room for Eliana Wines. No chip, and the neighbors don't recognize him. He was first seen on 8/20, and was rescued on 8/25. A found report has been filed with the county shelter. He is safe with a Melly Cat foster. 🧡🐾

⭐ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ⭐

Simba is a distinguished 12-year-old kitty looking for his furever home! His previous owner made the difficult decision to surrender him, because it was in his best interest. We’re dedicated to finding him the purrfect new family. 😻

Simba is FIV positive. Because of this diagnosis, he will need to be indoor only. Please work with a vet to manage his care. FIV is not a death sentence, but does need to be monitored. 🏥 He can live with non-FIV kitties, as long as there are no bad fights. (FIV is transmitted through deep bite wounds.)

This little man loves hard! He adores belly rubs, cuddles, headbutts... just give him all the pets. He demands it! 😹 He doesn't even mind being picked up to receive some love. 🐾 Because he was allowed outside most of his life, Simba isn't thrilled being indoor only. He enjoys walks on a harness, and would benefit from a catio. 💙

⭐ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ⭐

Butch is 3-5 years old, and has already experienced a lot in life. From losing his previous owner to fathering a couple litters, he is tired. 😔 He would like to retire. Formerly an outside cat, he's looking to lay on soft sheets and comfy pillows. This timid boy wants love, and is learning how to reciprocate. He will sometimes growl when he is done being pet. (Can you blame him?) Someone with gentle hands and patience to learn his body language is what he needs. He enjoys the company of other cats. 🐈 He does not, however, like when the rough housing gets too rough. (Again, can you blame him?) Butch needs someone to thank him if he grumbles, instead of thinking he wants to rumble. 😼

Spike came to us with his father Butch, after their owner passed. Spike endured more trauma than Butch, unfortunately. 💔 Because of this he has been a bit slower to come around. There is not a mean bone in his body. It's heartbreaking watching him... it's like he doesn't know how to accept love. 🥺 He's only recently started to react positively to pets. He does great with other cats! He needs a calm environment and someone with patience. Estimated to be 2-3 years old. 💙

Another day, another vet bill. 😕 On Thursday I noticed both Chad & Nova seemed to not be feeling well. Friday morning Chad was struggling to use his back legs. I called around, and was able to get them in to West Main Animal Hospital. Nova had a fever, but they said she was likely just fighting a virus and needed rest. Chad was a little more worrisome... they suspect he has Toxoplasmosis. 😔

"Toxoplasmosis is caused by the protozoal parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Symptoms are often mild and can go unnoticed in otherwise healthy cats. Symptoms are related to the organ(s) affected by the tachyzoite, which may include:

Lethargy
Decreased appetite
Weight Loss
Fever
Difficulty breathing
Jaundice
Behavioral Changes
Vision loss
Weakness
Lack of coordination/ circling
Neck pain
Seizures

The prognosis depends on the severity of the diagnosis and is typically worse when the lungs or liver are involved." Read more here:
https://www.petmd.com/cat/conditions/infectious-parasitic/c_ct_toxoplasmosis

We started Chad on medication, and should have lab results tomorrow (Monday). The total bill was $550.94; unfortunately they're unable to offer a rescue discount for us. If anyone is able to donate, we would be very grateful! 💜🐾

🤩 Adoption Update! 🤩

Bellatrix was adopted at the Feline Fair, and was scheduled to go home after her spay on Thursday. 🖤 When her adopter found out she had siblings, she just couldn't resist meeting them. Instead of taking one, she took two! Bellatrix and her brother Draco went to their new family today! 😻😻

💲 Five Dollar Friday 💲

This $5 Friday is a little different... it's dedicated to our feral felines! Our community is in a cat crisis. 😿 Our amazing team of volunteers is out trapping weekly to help the feral cat colonies in the Rogue Valley.

Why is TNR important? ✂️

TNR has been proven to be a humane and effective solution to control the feral cat population. It positively impacts their overall health and well-being. 💜

Trap-Neuter-Return involves fixing, vaccinating, and ear tipping the community cats in a colony, then returning them to their territory. Before a cat is returned, we ensure there is a caretaker providing food, shelter, and clean water. 🐾

We book our feral cat spay/neuter appointments through SNYP in Talent. The cost is $25 per cat. Would you like to sponsor a feral appointment? 🐈
