Happy Update on Kourtney and Scott!

Do you all remember Kourtney and Scott, the siblings of Miss Kimberly and Bruce? These two kitties were quite aggressive and reserved around humans. After a biting incident with Scott, and no progress, we decided that a barn home would be the best fit for them.

Their caregiver recently updated us with news that they are doing well. Although they still prefer to keep their distance, they have a cozy barn to call their own, and from what we can see on camera, they seem to be thriving! 💗

Barn homes can provide our kitties with a wonderful opportunity to live a comfortable life, even if they are not as keen on human interaction. Kourtney and Scott showcase just how successful this type of placement can be when done correctly 🐓

Autumn and Kimberly are two happy girls that have so much love to give 💕. They have come such a long way with their stories and I am so proud of their progress! These two ladies are going to make someone feel very special! They have patiently been waiting for their forever homes 🏠.

As we all know, Autumn's sweet babies passed away... Her labor left her in a state of trauma and distress. Katie devoted herself around the clock to caring for the neonatal kittens, while I focused on supporting Autumn through her difficult journey. From falling ill post-labor to struggling with caring for her kittens, Autumn was visibly struggling. She would often stare into space for days, she was so traumatized.
However, despite all the hardships she faced, Autumn displayed nothing but pure kindness in every human interaction. She craves human affection , she is a huge lap cat! Today, I am proud to share that Autumn is finally walking confidently in the foster room, seeking love and affection from all of us. Her spirit and newfound confidence show her bravery and strength. It's truly an honor to be her foster. Autumn is going to make a great cuddle buddy for a special family ❤️

💔 My heart has been heavy, and I want to share some difficult news with you all. My sweet Marshmellow has crossed over the rainbow bridge. I’m still trying to understand the medical reasons behind this loss, as it all happened so suddenly and without any chance to save him.

This has been an incredibly tough time for me, especially as I’ve never experienced the loss of so many fosters at once. These past few weeks have weighed heavily on my heart.

Krista and I have decided to take the rest of the month to focus on our families and the holiday season. We hope you can understand our need for this time to find peace and heal our souls.

Thank you for your continued support—it means more to us than you know. ❤️

Autumn came to us needing extra care and attention, as she was timid and sought comfort in her cage. Today marked a breakthrough, as Autumn approached me for the first time willingly!!! I take immense pride in not only meeting the physical needs of our foster cats but also in fostering their emotional well-being and helping them grow into the best versions of themselves before they find their forever homes. I believe that by investing time and love into our foster cats, we empower them to form deep connections and showcase their true selves, ultimately leading to successful adoptions with the perfect families. Autumn's transformation is a testament to the impact of this approach, and I am grateful to have played a part in her journey. I will bond with each cat and have my heart broken 1000 times if that means they will find their forever homes 💕

My sweet bottle baby update!
MARSHMALLOW is doing well so far. 🙏 I don’t want to get my hopes up just yet and say he’s out of the woods. Kittens this young are so fragile. 😞
He’s a fighter and he’s a good eater! And he deserves to have his spotlight after all he has overcame! ❤️

So meet Marshmellow! The sweetest boy around! 🩵

This weekend has been incredibly tough for me, and I have two updates to share with a heavy heart. 💔

One of our sweet bottle babies has passed away. I put him to sleep at night, and when I went to feed him the next morning, he had already slipped away peacefully. He came from a litter of five, and sadly, three had already passed previously. This loss was unexpected but not surprising; these little ones weighed only half of what they should at their age, and their mother was extremely malnourished. Losing a bottle baby never gets easier, especially since caring for them is my passion. I pour my heart into giving them hope, even when it feels like there isn't any.

As many of you know, Snowflake was seen at the vet multiple times this week. We struggled to find a diagnosis because her condition was unique. She couldn’t pass stool on her own – an issue that was found when we rescued her. Despite extensive treatments, including dewormers, daily baths, and laser therapy, nothing was working. After much discussion, we made the painful decision for euthanasia, as the vets determined that her sphincter wasn't properly developed.

After laying her to rest, a thorough examination revealed that Snowflake had both male and female reproductive parts, and her colon and sphincter were underdeveloped due to conditions in the womb. Knowing she would have faced a very challenging life reinforced our decision to let her go peacefully.

It’s been a long, exhausting few weeks, and right now, I need to focus on my last bottle baby and take the time to heal my heart. Thank you all for your support and prayers for Snowflake. Please understand that I have done everything possible to save these babies, but sometimes things are beyond our control. - Katie 💗

Let’s all remember the importance of spaying and neutering our pets.
