Stop by Petco Swift Creek and Petco Parham tomorrow Saturday from 12-2 and meet some of our sweethearts that are really wanting to find families by Christmas! We have cats and kittens in every color, shape, size, and personality! Here are just a small portion of them! All are super sweet, fully vetted, and can’t wait to meet you!

We just wanted to thank everyone again for allowing sweet little Franklin to see the cardiologist this week! He was such a little trooper at the appointment and did great! He got his echocardiogram and we got some FANTASTIC news about his murmur! He has mild valvular pulmonic stenosis … that may sound scary but it just means he was born with a narrowed heart valve and is completely fine! His doctor assured us Franklin’s heart is in great health and he does not need any treatment or medications! He can be adopted out like any other normal kitten and is expected to have a long, happy, and healthy life! Here he is with his sister Olivia! We’re sure they are both happy he’s allowed to run and play as much as he wants 🙂 Both of these sweethearts are now available for adoption and will be at our Petco adoption stand this weekend! Interested in adopting them? Submit a no obligation application at our website www.RichardsonsRescue.org

Thank you again for helping us help ensure Franklin (and Olivia) are in tip top health!

Did you know today is , a day where people around the work open their hearts and give to local non profits in an effort to help them further their mission. If you know Richardsons you already know our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome, repeat and we never stop this mission! Just last night we pulled in 4 more cats and kittens who needed help and who otherwise would have been waking up outside in the 18 degree temperatures this morning. Instead they woke up warm and loved and today they’re getting fixed, vetted, and all the things! For just these 4 it’s going to cost us about 250 dollars to vet each one and that doesn’t even include the 65 other cats in our system right now some of whom are sick and need additional vetting. Kitten season isn’t ending for us and we are constantly working our hardest to help as many as we can! So today is the day we are asking you to help us help them! We know times our tough but every little bit helps! Give what you can, we couldn’t do what we do without the help of our incredible supporters like you! Feel free to donate to this post directly or our PayPal at RichardsonsRescuerva.org! Can’t give? Help by sharing our post so other can see it!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Edited to add: check out our update on sweet Franklin! We just made a new post! https://www.facebook.com/100064637504103/posts/1023622113135696/?

Edited to add: wow yall are absolutely incredible! You did that in under an hour and to think we didn’t know how we’d make it work initially! It’s always scary to be told a kitten needs something so expensive. But yall are awesome!!! Anything additional or extra donated will go towards the treatment plan for Franklin once we get a diagnosis. We will keep everyone updated with how the appointment goes and what he needs but seriously thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We need your help! Typically this time of year we ask for your donations for giving Tuesday because by this time of year kitten season has depleted us pretty badly. But this year kitten season hasn’t at all ended. In fact, it’s been one of the toughest years yet but we are still actively helping as many cats and kittens as we can!

One of our more recent rescues is sweet little Franklin. Abandoned outside at just weeks old, he was so appreciative when we brought him into our rescue. He is the absolute sweetest little boy who loves everyone he meets. There’s just one problem… he has a bad heart murmur that needs to get checked out by a kitty cardiologist. To do this we need to raise about a thousand dollars to be able to afford the initial appointment. If we can’t get him to the cardiologist it could be dangerous for Franklin as it’s a pretty serious murmur, a grade 5 out of 6 with 6 being the worst. We really want to be able to find out what’s causing the murmur and help this sweetheart!

Can you help us help him? You can donate here on this Facebook post or on PayPal at Richardsonsrescuerva.org whichever is easiest! As always thank you for your generosity! Your help in this is life saving and means the world to us and this kitty! Cant give at this time? Share his post so people who can donate will see it!

🐾 Shoutout to Mighty Moves

🐾 https://www.facebook.com/mightymovesllc

A huge thank-you to Mighty Moves Moving Company for going the extra mile—literally! When our cat rescue received a generous donation of kitty litter from Tidy Cat, we needed some muscle to help us transport and unload three entire pallets of supplies. Mighty Moves stepped in and handled it all with care and efficiency, ensuring our furry friends have what they need.
They're not just movers; they're community champions! 🐱💪

🚨We need your help again! 🚨

Sweet Destiny has been in our rescue for over 110 days! She deserves a loving home of her own especially after all she’s been through!

Destiny’s story

Humans have let Destiny down and she’s had a lot of hardship in her young life. Abandoned on the streets, young, pregnant and scared, she did her best to take care of herself and her growing family only to lose two of her kittens to dogs attacks at a young age. When we were able to rescue her and her remaining kitten she was so thankful and sweet to us. Her kitten got adopted quickly but now it’s sweet Destiny’s turn to find a loving home. She is a calm girl who loves basking in the sun and relaxing on her cat tree in her foster home. She will do anything for a churu and always comes running for head scritches when she sees her foster mom. She’s timid of new people at first and that’s understandable given all she’s been through. Once she gets to know you she has so much love to give. Someone give this sweetheart a chance, she just wants a family to love! She’s great with other cats and needs a patient person to go slow with her until she can trust them. Once she trusts you she is soooo sweet! She is fully vetted, fixed, up to date on shots, combo tested negative, dewormed, defleaed, and microchipped. She is about a year and a half old. Interested in adopting Destiny fill out a no obligation application at www.RichardsonsRescue.org Cant adopt? Share her story to help us find her people!

Remember a while back when our awesome supporters answered our plea for kitten food? Well, the kittens we rescued then are loving the food! Check out this video of our Halloween litter running to their dinner! They have now grown big and strong thanks to your generous donations and are all ready to find their forever homes. These kittens are truly perfect! Casper, Pugsley, Morticia, Wednesday, Pumkin and Spookly love to love and love everyone they meet! Great with cats, kids, and dogs, they would be the perfect addition to any home. They are a wonderful mix between cuddly, loving and playful. One thing to note that you can probably tell from the video is these purr machines are very high energy. They love to play and for this reason, we recommend they all have a kitty friend to play with in their forever homes. Can it be with you? These love muffins are sure to put a smile on your face and love in your heart!

We need your help again! We are officially desperate!!

Typically by October kitten season has started to slow down. Well, not this year! We have more kittens than ever (over 85 cats and kittens in the system)! Just this past Friday we rescued 14 more cats and kittens. All who need food to grow big and strong and vetting to keep them healthy. Both our pantry shelves and medical fund are running dangerous low! The average cost to vet a single kitten with dewormer, shots, combo test, microchip, and spay neuter is over 250$ and our adoption fees are only 125$. With so many requests for help each day we are bleeding badly right now! We are desperate for f, iams kitten dry food. We could use some wet kitten food too and eye cream too!

Can you find it in your heart to either send money to help with vetting to our PayPal ([email protected]) or send supplies directly to our fosters who need it through our wishlist bit.ly/helpRR

Pictures and story’s of just two of the litters we rescued this Friday. The first is a litter of 6 who the owner threatened to dump at a local shelter in a box outside…. And the second is a litter born outside and chock full of parasites… they are 7 weeks old but the size of 4 week olds because they are so malnourished. Both are now safe inside with foster families!

Can’t donate? That’s ok share our post to help others who can donate see it.

Once again thank you to our wonderful village of supporters we couldn’t do this without you!! You allow us to keep helping more day in and day out!

Attention people in Chesterfield and especially in the Brandermill neighborhoods! We have an adopter whose beloved Richardson’s rescue alum kitty got lost outside. She’s never been outside before so is probably very scared! She answers to the name cinnamon and is microchipped. Her mom is beside herself! She got out 2 days ago as that was last time she was seen. Please keep your eyes peeled and check your sheds and under decks.
