4 days old and theyâve already been through too much for such little ones. Iâm grateful that we have the foster support in order to say âyesâ to situations like this. After caring for them for two days Iâm exhausted and ready to sleep in more than 2 hour increments. Bottle baby fosters do not get enough credit! đđź I love this video of them dreaming. Sweet little ones đť
TNR day!!
Our trapping spree is off to a good start! We had a cat trapped before we even had the third trap set! 8 cats down.. 12 to go! Wish us luck.
We get so many questions about TNR. We are the first true TNR group in a 3 county radius (at least) so it makes sense that folks have questions. Here is some info to help you understand.
â˘TNR stands for trap, neuter, return. Even though the acronym doesnât include it, we also spay females, vaccinate, deworm and provide flea/tick preventative to all cats that we trap.
â˘TNR is the most humane way to decrease the cat over population crisis
â˘We facilitate a full circle rescue program. This means when we are given kittens from a property, we return to spay and neuter the rest of the colony so we donât continuously need to rescue kittens from the same farms.
â˘if the cats live in a safe place, with a care taker and shelter, they are returned to the same property. If they are friendly, we offer to rehome them
â˘our TNR program is solely funded by donations and adoption fees from kittens we rehome. We donât receive any grants or public funding to do this.
â˘most colony care takers cannot afford to have the entire colony (10-60 cats) spayed and neutered so they often offer a small donation and we cover the cost for the rest.
â˘cats are often ear tipped. This is when the tip of a catâs left ear is removed during surgery as a universal sign that the cat has been spayed.
That was a lot of info! If you have any questions about our TNR program do not hesitate to reach out.
Foster kittens
â¨Day in the life of a kitten foster parentâ¨
There is nothing more entertaining than a litter of kittens. It is so fun to watch them grow and explore the world. Adopting a kitten is fun too, but they will inevitably grow up. Fostering kittens is the only way you can enjoy kitten cuteness for years to come! We are always in need of new foster families to join our team. We provide all supplies needed, cover the costs of vet care and line up adopters. The foster family is only responsible for providing a safe place for the kitties and their love.
If youâre interested in learning more about fostering please send us a message!
Weaning kittens!
Kitten season is in full swing! We have 4 nursing mamas and several weaning kittens in rescue right now which means we need a lot of food to help the babies grow big and strong! Our preferred food for our young kittens and nursing moms is the Royal Canin mama and baby cat food. The cats love it and it gives them the nutrients needed to start them off on the right foot. We are running low on this food and could really use donations!
If youâd like to send some directly to our kitties in need please check out our amazon wishlist here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/33TWPL1WRZR8G?ref_=wl_share

â¨Foster Families Neededâ¨
We are desperately in need of foster families for adult cats! We have a few foster families who love to foster kittens, which is a great help! Unfortunately, we have very few fosters who are willing and able to take adult cats which means these sweet kitties end up on our waiting list for months! Take a chance and try something new! Sign up to foster today đ You can foster if you have dogs and cats of your own. All thatâs required is a small space like a bedroom or office where the kitty can settle in. We provide all needed supplies, medical care for the cats and line up the adopters. You just provide your love and space!
Please send us a message if youâre interested in learning more đť

Hercules đŞđź
Weâre sure youâve all been wondering how Hercules is doing⌠this guy is just as sweet as can be! He is recovering from his surgery well and it has not impacted his mood whatsoever. This guy is an expert biscuit maker and he will make biscuits on everything including cage bars or your lap. He is ready to graduate from cage rest but this is the safest way to prevent him from jumping. All of his medicines havenât been agreeing with his tummy, but other than that youâd never know he just had surgery! We are so proud of this guy and are so glad we didnât give up on him based on how bad things looked.
High five!
Frosty wants to give a big high five to all of our giving Tuesday donors! We raised a total of $1,080!!! We didnât quite meet our goal, but this is still huge for our tiny non profit. For reference, this amount can help us cover the spay/neuter costs for 14 cats! We are grateful for each one of our donors. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! â¤ď¸
Banyan
We cannot believe that sweet Banyan hasnât been adopted yet! This guy melts for pets, has the sweetest little chirp of a meow and a strong purr. He loves to chase after cat balls and will carry toy mice around in his mouth. Heâs a handsome guy with a sweet personality to match! He gets along well with cats and dogs and heâs fully vetted!

Sweet Liam is very sad because his meet and greet was canceled last minute last weekend đ His whole family including his mama have been adopted, but Liam is still waiting for the one. He is as sweet as can be. Just a little bundle of purrs!

We received a darling update from Jumper & Skipper who were adopted last week. It seems like they are very happy and settling into their new home well! We always say that playing is the way to a shy kittenâs heart đť
