This is the BEST before and after!

These two were found in a backyard in April and look at them now! Dana, their human, says, "I knew from the second I saw them in that post that I wanted them! Walter(orange) and Garbage(grey)... yes. You saw right, LOL. Garbage was named by our son who loves watching The Office..iykyk. 😂 These two brothers couldn’t be more perfect for our large family. Walter is OBSESSED with getting into “cat-proofed” bathroom trash cans to get Q-tips out, he is 100% orange cat mentality with everything he does!!! He also LOVES people and begs to be held by them!
Garbage is a cuddle bug, a little bit shy at first with new people, and his obsession is SOCKS! Can’t leave them laying around or else he thinks it’s his! He also loves to watch our salt water fish tanks!" 😂

You. Are. Amazing! Giving Tuesday was an incredible day for so many and our hearts are full thanks to your unwavering generosity and commitment to the mission of FieldHaven Feline Center. ❤

What you DO matters. What you GIVE matters.

Moondancer is just one of many who you have helped. YOU gave Moondancer a second chance. He's no ordinary kitten! He was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) which affects his balance, coordination, and the way he gets get around. But, don't worry, he gets around just fine in his own way! He plays, eats on his own, and has good bathroom behaviors. He's affectionate, loves other cats and people, AND he is currently available for adoption!

Moondancer is one out of only a few out of thousands we regularly encounter. He is the face representing your donations. Yesterday, hundreds of you came together, giving more than $51,500 to cats and kittens like Moondancer! We met our match, and we are so thankful for the amazing community we live in. If you didn't get a chance to give, don't worry! You can still donate today and make the holiday season merry and bright!

Your donations for Giving Tuesday and throughout the holiday season are making a big difference in our ability to keep saving lives. Your kindness, compassion, and generosity are what keeps us going. Thank you!

P.S. Moondancer is available for adoption, and you can meet him and find out more by filling out an adoption application. He's in a foster home, doing well, and would love to find a family this holiday season!

✨SHARES!✨ We're so grateful to see your donations coming in!

But... time's running out to have your donation matched!

Purrsephone and Styx have asked for your support directly. Will you grant them that wish? ➡ https://tinyurl.com/bdf4m5kk

Purrsephone was found behind a department store. A very dedicated caregiver who has been working to TNR cats found her. On a cold, rainy day, Purrsephone somehow ended up in the middle of the parking lot, laying flat and not moving! The caregiver almost didn’t notice her, but when he did, he sprang into action. He gently picked up the nearly lifeless body and rushed to FieldHaven’s Marysville Cat Resource Center.

Purrsephone needed help, and fast.

The tiny tabby kitten was barely a few weeks old and incredibly hypothermic. She was so cold we couldn’t even register her temperature!

We had to slow warm her so we didn’t shock her system. It took about an hour using both an incubator and a heating disc but she finally began to hold her head up.

We continued warming her, then, as if she suddenly realized she was no longer frozen, she came alive. She pulled her tiny body up on all fours and began scarfing food like she hadn’t eaten in days. She purred and hissed and mewed—all the emotion coming out of her any way that it could.

Purrsephone was going to be OK!

The following day, her sister Styx was found in nearly the same scenario. The caregiver once again rushed over to us and we once again began supportive yet lifesaving care. She wasn’t quite as cold, but she was covered in fleas.

The good news is that we reunited the sisters and they are now safe, warm, and happy as can be in a foster home. They are still tiny, but they are mighty.

What we do matters. What we give matters.

We give in the form of second chances, we save lives, and we rely on you, today, for Giving Tuesday, to give financially.

What YOU do matters. What you GIVE matters.

Donations are matched up to $17,500 until 11:59 PM, so your gift will make twice the impact for Purrsephone and Styx. Your kindness, compassion, and generosity are what keeps us going. Thank you! ❤ ➡ https://tinyurl.com/bdf4m5kk

✨SHARES!✨ We're constantly trying to raise the bar to provide the best help for cats and kittens who have no other option, so when we met Mustashley it was easy to say yes.

That also means that today, for Giving Tuesday, we're relying heavily on your support. The good news? Donations are matched up to $17,500 so today your donation goes farther!

It was early morning at FieldHaven when two teens arrived at the shelter with a laundry basket holding a cat and her newborn kittens. Mustashley, as she was affectionately dubbed, was barely more than a kitten herself, and she had been found in a field struggling to give birth.

They had tried other organizations and been turned away; FieldHaven was their last hope.

Our team jumped into action. We set her up in a calm, secluded room with a kennel prepared for birthing, making sure to check on her frequently throughout the day.

That afternoon we saw a small paw emerging from Mustashley, who was clearly in distress. Unfortunately, none of the nearby veterinary hospitals had the immediate resources to help, so our team rallied, determined to deliver the kitten ourselves.

Heartbreakingly, she was a still born, but by delivering her, we saved Mustashley’s life.

Mustashley and her kittens have since been in a foster home and are doing well—they are sweet, playful, and adore affection. Soon, they will all be ready for adoption, and we can’t wait to see them find loving new homes during the holiday season.

While there was loss, there was still lifesaving, and a lesson to be learned. Not only is this a powerful reminder of how important it is to spay and neuter, but had they not been found, none of them would be here today.

Mustashley and her kittens may not have had a future.

That's why Giving Tuesday is so important. You enable us to say yes to tough cases, to give second chances and to save lives. Will you donate right now to give these three the future they deserve? ➡ https://tinyurl.com/bdf4m5kk

We cannot do this without your support, and we are so thankful for it. We know we are in this together, so thank you for making such a powerful difference for so many.

✨SHARES!✨ Happy Giving Tuesday! Today you can make an even bigger impact for kittens like Tuna Sandwich! Through 11:59 pm tonight, gifts to FieldHaven Feline Center are matched up to $17,500! ⬇️

Tuna Sandwich was found screaming under a dumpster outside of a Subway restaurant. With no other cats in sight and Tuna not letting up on those screams, the people who found her knew they had to intervene. They scooped her up, discovering a large lump near her back leg. They couldn’t afford veterinary care, so they promptly headed to FieldHaven’s Marysville Resource Center.

When she arrived, it wasn’t good. Tuna was about six weeks old but very tiny and underweight. Her body looked abnormally swollen, and her breathing was labored. We assumed she was hit by a car, but at that point, assumptions didn’t matter—it was more important to get her to a veterinarian.

We rushed Tuna to one of our veterinarian partners, Companion Veterinary Clinic, where Dr. Sanchez took x-rays and diagnosed her with diaphragmatic and inguinal hernias. Those are often caused by a blunt trauma. Poor Tuna had her stomach, spleen, liver, and some of her intestines pushed into her chest cavity next to her lungs and heart. It was not only painful but made it very difficult to breathe, too!

We knew that time was of the essence to save Tuna—and your support is what allowed us to be there for her.

With the diagnosis, we knew Tuna needed emergency care so we called the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Tuna needed a complicated, risky surgery, one that would be even more challenging due to her tiny size, but we were willing to try.

Tuna was rushed into surgery with a highly skilled team. We held our breaths overnight anticipating the dreaded call. It didn’t come. Instead, we received a photo in the early morning hours of Tuna in recovery. She made it through surgery!

Tuna has an incredible fighting spirit. Right away, she let the world know she was grateful for our help. She purred and blinked her eyes at anyone who would give her attention with a clear message—thank you.

When you donate to FieldHaven, you're helping us save kittens like Tuna. You truly make an inspiring difference!

Today, Tuna is still in recovery. She has protocols she must adhere to so that her tiny body can heal, but her future is bright. She’s in foster care with our medical director, Dr. Yee, and it shouldn’t be a surprise that her husband is smitten. In fact, we mentioned Tuna’s story on a recent radio show, and he was so excited. He texted Dr. Yee and said, “Someone was just on the radio talking about cats and told the story of our kitten!”

We have a feeling Tuna may have found the home she’s always deserved!

Tuna had a second chance because of you. Her life was saved because of your kindness and compassion, and her holidays will be bright because you stood up for those who don’t have a voice. Here's how to help:

- Donate! Donations are matched up to $17,500 through 11:59 pm tonight! ➡ https://tinyurl.com/bdf4m5kk
- Share this to help get the word out, and post it in NextDoor, Ring Neighbors, and other community groups!

Thank you for your continued unwavering generosity and love for all cats!

It was early morning when the phone rang for Joy, our founder. It was Jen, our community cat specialist, calling about a kitten in a trap with a severed leg!

Knowpah, a tiny brown and white tabby, arrived at FieldHaven. Joy and Jen very carefully removed him—not only was he seriously injured but he was also very feral! They bundled him up and took him to one of our veterinary partners, Companion Veterinary Clinic, for an emergency evaluation.

Dr. Sanchez confirmed that Knowpah needed surgery to modify the traumatic amputation. Unfortunately, he was acutely anemic from the blood loss and needed a blood transfusion first!

Joy and Jen raced back to FieldHaven, gathering up cats, including Champy, one of our mascots, so they could be tested for a match.

Champy won—we had a match! The veterinary team got just enough to give Knowpah the necessary edge to survive surgery.

The transfusion began and Knowpah accepted it! By the time it was complete it was late so Knowpah was left to rest overnight with pain medication.

The next morning surgery was a success! Knowpah was discharged to our care, and if his appetite was any indication of how fast his recovery would be, it would be speedy!

Your Giving Tuesday donations allow us to help others like Knowpah, and they'll be matched up to $17,500. Will you give to help cats like Knowpah?

Today Knowpah is in a foster home with a family who says he adores being held and all things affection. He has adjusted to having only three legs, love to run and play, and is basically a perfect kitten. Soon, he'll be ready for a family of his own, all thanks to you!

Thank you so very much for your kindness and generosity!❤❤

🌟 Courtesy Post! 🌟 Jewel is a former mom who is now retired. She was found in a carrier left at a Walmart with her three kittens months ago. Lory, the person who found them, had them spayed and neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped at our Hathaway Spay Neuter Clinic and has been caring for them since. Jewel should be an only pet - she is very spicy with every other animal she meets - but she IS super sweet with humans, sleeping with them at night, talking up a storm, and loving affection. But hurry – Lory is moving and can’t take Jewel with her! If you want to add Jewel to your family, reach out to Lory at [email protected] or 530-813-1202 today!

The cutest #FosterFriday video featuring Fish and Chips! These two were found in a box behind the fish and chips store in Marysville before they ended up in our care. And check out these great bath tips from our volunteer Cherette! 😻 Volume up!

UPDATE: Unfortunately, Tumble passed away overnight. He started seizing uncontrollably. Thank you all for your prayers and positive vibes. Losses are always hard on our staff, but knowing that you all are there with us just as much for the sad times as the good times means the world to us. We are always going to continue to try. We are always going to continue to learn and save more. ***** Another day, another emergency. Tumble was potentially exposed to toxins and is not doing well physically or neurologically. We’re rushing him to UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and need all the positive energy we can get… ❤️🐱

Do you remember recently we shared the story of the cage of cats found in a parking lot, and the gentleman brought them to our Marysville Resource Center? It was the week when everything that could happen, happened. Well, here they are then... and here they are now! Mom (Brigid) and Dad (Aengus) are available for adoption! They're bonded and as sweet as they can be! Meet them this Friday or Saturday at FieldHaven, or fill out an adoption application to schedule an appointment. They're ready for a home of their own! P.S. The kittens are doing well and getting big and strong! 📍FieldHaven Feline Center, 2754 Ironwood Lane, Lincoln, Friday - Saturday, 10am to 4:30pm

We had a bit of holiday fun at FieldHaven Marketplace today!!! 🤣🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻 #christmas #christmasdecor #holidays #holidayseason #shoplocal #holidaydecor

Did you know we have a Rodent Ranger program? It's where we carefully match Rodent Ranger candidates (our outdoor, often not so domestic, working felines) with appropriate homes. It's not an easy task but Jen, who many. of you know, has been making matches for more than 20 years! She carefully screens applicants to ensure they have the right set up and commitment to set Rodent Rangers up for success. If you've passed Jen's scrutiny, you should consider yourself a top-notch Rodent Ranger home! She is so particular because she knows that it's extremely difficult to relocate outdoor cats. It is something we do only when we've determined an indoor home is likely not going to be successful and it is not possible to return them to their original location. Over the years, Jen has honed her imprinting process to give Rodent Rangers the best chance for a successful relocation. These three were carefully placed at Charlebois Farms in Portola Valley and Saratoga, and we love how spoiled they are! Want to learn more? Check out our Rodent Ranger program! https://fieldhaven.com/adopt/rodent-rangers/

We continue to be overwhelmed with gratitude and are so incredibly appreciative of your support. The hundreds of deliveries we unpacked just yesterday were then all cleared out so they wouldn’t get rained on… Then this happened. These are today’s deliveries. Our hearts are full. Our cats are happy. We have no words to express how much this means to us. Thank you. ❤️🐱🫶🏼

YOU GUYS!!!!! We are crying so many happy tears for the overwhelming and incredible support!!! This video is raw, no edits or music dubs, because WOW, just WOW. From the bottom of our hearts and paws, thank you. THANK YOU! ❤
