CatNap from the Heart

This Featured Feline Friday brings you a tale of forbidden love, a battle to unite and two felines who are totally head-over-heels for each other! 🏰 In one enclosure you’ll find Eartha, a retired mom cat to five beautiful kittens who has a bit of a grudge against the staff here at CatNap🌎… And separated by a thin wall lounges Felix, a silly young adult with a heart murmur that whispers to him to find his one true love❤️‍🔥… After weeks of sitting on either side of the cage dividers, hours spent playing footsie through the bars and heart-eyes galore from both parties, CatNap staff decided to let these two lovebirds fly… As soon as they touched paws for the first time without barriers, the second their noses sniffed each other—we knew that Eartha and Felix were destined to be together! During their supervised playtime, you can find these two snuggled up in their pineapple bed (how it’s even comfortable, we have no idea 🤷🏼‍♀️), grooming each other and having the occasional good-natured WWE marital wrestling match. 😻 So even if you’re not able to give them a forever home, consider sharing the courageous ‘Tail of Felix and Eartha’ and their unbreakable bond to last a lifetime. 💞

Meet Batman and Joker—the perfect duo for you! We always say that two is better than one, and the same is true of these juvenile brothers. They enjoy wrestling with each other and are so adorable curled up together in a snuggle puddle! Other pets/kids are a-ok with them, and they can’t wait to meet you during our open hours!

Featured Feline Friday: Obi Wan! 🌟 This amazing kitten has crossed galaxies in search of a forever home…he has been in a foster home for the last few months and has done well with other pets/dogs/kids. Once you meet him, you’ll instantly fall in love worth his snuggly personality and silly kitten antics! Obi Wan will be waiting for you at CatNap TOMORROW from 11-3pm!

Peach, Daisy and Olive are three amazing sisters who just came back from their foster home in search of a family. They can find a home together or separate and would do great with other kids and pets. They absolutely love exploring new places and trying out new toys, and a warm lap is always the purr-fect place to take a break after a full day of kitten antics!

Meet Holly! Playful, affectionate, curious—this amazing tuxedo has it all! She can’t wait to find a forever home with/without pets or kids, just make sure to have lots of toys to keep her busy! Meet her during our open hours and fall in love!

Our 2025 bingo card sure didn’t have broken “washing machine” front and center… We were fortunate enough to order a new machine today, but delivery can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks and our messy kitties are in need of clean laundry daily. 🧺 We are asking for volunteers who would be willing to pick up dirty towels and blankets from CatNap, launder them and return the clean laundry to the shelter during our open hours (Tuesday-Thursday from 12-3pm and Saturday from 11-3pm)! 🧺 If you aren’t able to volunteer, please consider donating to help us cover the $1,384 total for delivery and installation (https://catnapfromtheheart.networkforgood.com/projects/74069-donate-now) 🧺 Having access to clean laundry is not only vital to the health of our adorable cats, but also crucial to the success of our low cost clinic. Without the ability to clean laundry from surgery, we are unable to continue saving lives with our low cost spay/neuter services. Please share and help CatNap provide warm bedding and clean towels for all here at the shelter! ❤️

These curious girls can’t wait to met you! They are very outgoing and playful, so make sure to have plenty of toys to keep them busy. Their favorite toys include feather wands and crinkle balls, but they’ll always try something new. Homes with other pets/kids are fine by them, so stop in and meet your new bestie today!

Single, taken, head-over-heels for felines—Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and we’ve found the purr-fect way to celebrate! 😻Mark your calendars for Thursday, February 6th, because from 7-9pm, Happier Market and CatNap have partnered together to bring you Gal-entines Night! 💘 Instead of buying pricey flowers or an expensive chocolate box, treat yourself to an unforgettable night with the community! The $35 ticket includes entry, a glass of wine, appetizers and a raffle ticket. We will also have some amazing vendors ready to show off their talents including Thirsty Donkey Skin Co, Nova Permanent Jewelry, and a flower bar from Sweet Creations! Tickets can be purchased either: ❤️Through our website, catnapfromtheheart.org, under the donate tab (Make sure to send a screenshot of your receipt to [email protected] to RSVP!) 🩷Over the phone (708-352-3914) during our open hours via credit/debit card ⚠️Only 40 tickets will be sold, so make sure to buy yours before they’re all gone. Love is never certain, but one things for sure—this exclusive evening is not to be missed! 💐

Meet Sweet Pea and Patches! These two seven month old kittens were recently surrendered when their owners could no longer care for them. They adjusted to the shelter in no time, and are now ready for a forever home! Once you see them cuddled up together in a fuzzy purr puddle, your heart is sure to melt. Stop in today and cuddle with Sweet Pea and Patches!

With her adopt me eyes and outgoing demeanor, Nala is sure to find a home soon! She does great with other pets/kids, so any home is perfect for her. This cutie pie also enjoys playing with feather wands and wrestling with her foster sibling, so definitely make sure to have some fun toys to keep her busy all day long.

Happy New Year from everyone here at CatNap! We can’t thank you enough for all of your support through 2024 as we save more lives than ever before. We wouldn’t be able to make such a positive impact without your donations, time and dedication to our life-saving mission, so THANK YOU! A huge shout-out to all of our rescue partners, volunteers, fosters and adopters who helped us pull thousands of cats off of euthanasia lists and find them forever homes—you have made a difference in the lives of so many humans and animals this year. As we look forward to 2025, CatNap hopes to help take the burden off overcrowded shelters and reduce unnecessary euthanasia, reduce overpopulation through spaying/neutering and find loving homes for all of our deserving cats here at the shelter. Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy start to the New Year! 🎆 🥂 🍾
