The Dodo covered little Luigi's rescue in the River Arts District!

Walking through the River Arts District in Asheville, North Carolina, earlier this month, a trio of friends stopped short when they heard a faint, desperate sound. “They thought it was a bird initially,” Sister Kitten Animal Rescue executive director Eric Phelps told The Dodo.

Brothers, Minot and Bismarck, went home with their awesome new mom and dad!

This little guy showed up at a friend's house in Yancey County. Had she not trapped him quickly he likely would have ended up as food for a much larger animal.

He's ridiculously handsome. We are working on sweet. Please welcome Nervy to rescue.

Got the last two females from a project in Leicester spayed this week. This gal flipped a u-turn coming out of the trap.

Thank you to our friends at Asheville Humane Society for the cat food!

Thank you to Jenny and her team who brought a trailer full of supplies from Walnut Grove Animal Hospital and Animal Hospital of North Gwinnett in North Georgia.

Thank you to our friends at Sheets Pet Clinic and Triad Independent Cat Rescue for the donation of dog and cat food and cat litter! Huge thanks too to Chris, a fellow trapper and TNR guy, who drove everything out from Greensboro.

We're open and distributing cat and dog food and other animal supplies today at our staging area at 50 New Leicester Hwy, Asheville until 4p.

Sweet Garrett had his leg amputation surgery today. Thank you to everyone who donated to help cover his bill.

Earlier today we got a call about a kitten stuck down a four foot pipe in the Rivers Arts District.

Three friends walking by heard him screaming rushed to his aid. We headed over but these heroes figured out how to get him out of the pipe before we could even get there.

We picked him up from them and placed him into an awesome foster home this evening.

We already had a kitten rescued from a pipe we named Mario, so say hello to Luigi!

Sissy and Loretta moved to foster and their foster family adores them. Obvs.

One of our game cameras in South Asheville stopped transmitting immediately after this Uhaul van and couple showed up. We checked and the camera is missing.

If you recognize them please have them reach out to us about returning it. 828-400-0223

Released the 13 girls from the Swannanoa TNR project back home today after recovery from spay surgeries. #communitycats #trapneuterreturn #spayandneuter #swannanoa #asheville #westernnorthcarolina #hurricanehelene

We trapped this gal the week of Hurricane Helene and she popped out a single kitten in our trap and then acted like she never saw a kitten before and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, our adoption coordinator, Angel, is quite maternal and jumped in to save the baby. Who is still doing great. We were finally able to get mom spayed this week thanks to the ASPCA Spay/Neuter Alliance. She was very happy to be home. #communitycat #trapneuterreturn #spayandneuter #asheville #westernnorthcarolina #hurricanehelene

Drop trapping in Swannanoa earlier today and catching eight cats at once. #HurricaneHelene #westernnorthcarolina #swannanoa #asheville #communitycats #trapneuterreturn

With the caregiver's help we were able to get this chatty little fella into a trap last night in East Flat Rock. Please welcome (East Flat) Rocky to his new life in rescue. #kittenrescue #adopt #foster

While we were feeding at a temporary feeding station this morning in Swannanoa a crew who were about to begin work clearing a huge debris pile heard kittens crying inside the debris. These guys sprang into action to rescue these babies. The debris is packed so tightly it's unbelievable. These guys were undaunted and got both of the screaming 3 to 4-week-old kittens out. #heroes We need an experienced bottle foster asap for these guys. If you are an experienced foster with neonatal kittens and are available to take these two on please fill out our foster application at sisterkitten.org. UPDATE: foster found #hurricanehelene #swannanoa #kittenrescue #kittensofig #kittensofinstagram

We trapped Binky overnight. We weren't certain it was Michael and Annie's cat but the cat we trapped did look a lot like the cat in the photo they'd sent us. We asked Michael to come over today to identify her. This is the first time he's seen Binky since their house flooded up to the roofline almost a month ago and they were evacuated by boat. It's her and she was happy to see her dad again. We caught one of their other cats, Sue, back on October 9. Tonight, Binky will be reunited with Sue at one of our foster homes. To date we've reunited five animals who survived horrific flooding with their families. Please help us continue to be there for people and animals in need in the wake of Hurricane Helene by making a donation through this post or at PayPal.me/sisterkitten or venmo.com/sisterkitten

Who ordered the pumpkin biscuits? Foster kitten, Elizabeth, has your order ready. #kittenrescue #pumpkin #kittybiscuits

While we were working on assessing a TNR project earlier today the biggest damn tom cat we've ever seen crawled out from underneath a trailer looking for some kibble. Just a reminder that wild animals have also had a hard time due to Hurricane Helene. Show them the same compassion and understanding that you are everyone else. #hurricanehelene #asheville

We trapped Grace back on October 12 in a neighborhood where houses flooded up to the roofline. We were actually trapping for a different cat when we caught Grace. A couple of days ago she moved to a foster home and her foster family sent us this video of her this morning. She's having the best vacay ever. But we still need to find her family. She was trapped in Swannanoa off Riverwood Rd between Bee Tree Rd and Old US Hwy 70. She is not chipped.

Just as we were leaving our staging area last night we got a call about a cat with a badly embedded collar who wandered up to a business in Woodfin near the river. We raced over to get him and called Dr. Goff at Asheville Veterinary Associates West to see if he could triage the cat. Fortunately, he was still at the clinic and said to bring him over. The injury is gnarly but likely won't require surgery to heal. Because of the cat's proximity to the river it's very likely the cat ended up in this area due to the terrible flooding on the French Broad River and that the embed also occurred when the flood happened three weeks ago. He's safe and comfortable and we're reaching out to the rescue where he was adopted from to let them know what happened. #hurricanehelene #westernnorthcarolina

COMMUNITY CATS

We work with local caregivers to stabilize populations and improve the health and well-being of community cat colonies by providing resources and facilitating targeted trap-neuter-return (TNR) efforts.

“OUTDOOR” DOGS

Our goal is to provide community members with “outdoor” dogs access to affordable spay/neuter assistance and improved outdoor environments through fence repairs, shelters, and other infrastructure improvements.
