UPDATE: It is with a broken heart that I'm letting you all know that my little tiny ten day old kitten just crossed the rainbow bridge. He was just beginning to grow fur on his belly and on his little twiggy legs. Run free, little one. I wish I could have done more for you. 💔

UPDATE on our tiniest foster kitten at the moment.
He's doing really well. For the most part, he continues to latch on to the ni**le on his own, so I only had to tube feed once last night.
It's hard to tell because he still feels light as the smallestbird feather, but he is gaining weight. We started at 58 grams, and today he's at 96 grams, hooray! His little bird legs are growing fur now, and hopefully, soon, he will open his eyes. I'm finally thinking that he's going to make it. I still have him in the incubator, but we're dialing down on the oxygen. In a couple of days, he'll be oxygen free. He loves to roam in the incubator and wedges himself into the coziest spots. I keep finding him wedged, no matter how many times I free him, I guess he feels as if he's with his litter mates and his momma. He has a heartbeat with him, and sometimes I find him laying on top of it. Keep sending best wishes to him. He's still critical, and at this age, he can crash very quickly. But the sleepless days and nights are paying off.

UPDATE on the little bean of a kitten. First, I'm beginning to think he had me fooled, and he's actually a little boy instead of a girl. But he's so teeny tiny that I'm having a hard time deciding. He's still not wanting to eat much, so I'm having to tube feed him every two hours.
He's getting a lot more active now, which is a very good sign, but he's still very much at risk. We still have him in the incubator with oxygen. Although we've been weaning him off it but it has to be a slow process.
I'm definitely feeling a little more confident that he's going to maybe make it and grow up to be a big tomcat.
At the moment, this little bean only weighs 2.05 ounces or 58 grams. He's really tiny.
He's got a will to live, and he's a fighter, and we're fighting with him.
Fingers crossed still for a good outcome.

This little tiny baby was found after her momma forgot to come back for her. Momma moved the others but must have gotten spooked and didn't come back for this baby. A sweet lady started calling veterinarian offices and was given my number. After zi picked her up, the baby kitten was turning blue and Jill gave me instructions to make it an oxygen chamber. So far, she seems better. The blueness had gone away and she is latching to her miracle ni**le. Send best wishes, prayers, and good karma.

Thank you Sydney Madison for posting Figgy on today's BESTIE WPDE Good Morning Carolinas. We appreciate you! 😻❤️

Look at how cute today's BESTIE Figaro is (or Figgy as he prefers to be called)! 🥰 He's a charming 2-year-old kitty looking for his forever home. He's a handsome gray and white gentleman with impeccable litter box habits and a playful side that shines when given his favorite spring toys. 🤩💖
After playtime, Figgy loves to unwind with his favorite human, enjoying ear and neck rubs that get his purr motor running. 💕 He's a perfect blend of playful and cuddly, but he does have one condition: a home without dogs as he doesn't like them. 😭
Figgy has been vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for Feline Leukemia but positive for Feline Aids (FIV), which isn't transferable by casual contact and can safely live with FIV-negative cats as long as there are no deep bite wounds.

To adopt this angel baby and for more information on FIV, please reach out to Safe Haven 4 Cats SC 💕

Meet Figaro or Figgy as he prefers to be called. He is a charming approximately 2-year-old gray and white gentleman who's on the lookout for his forever home.

Figgy is not just a handsome face; he's also one of the tidiest cats you'll ever meet. Unlike many of his feline friends, he keeps his litter box habits impeccable—barely any stray litter makes its way out of the box!

Figgy's playful side shines when he's given his favorite spring toys. He could chase and bat them around for hours, bringing a joyful energy to your home. But after all that play, Figgy loves to unwind by cozying up with his favorite human. If you're lying on the floor, don’t be surprised when Figgy makes his way onto your belly, purring contentedly as he kneads "biscuits" on your chest—a heartwarming sign of his affection.

He’s also a sucker for a good ear and neck rub, which never fails to get his purr motor running at full speed. If you're looking for a cat who's a perfect blend of playful and cuddly, Figgy might just be the perfect addition to your family. He's ready to bring love, laughter, and lots of purrs into your life!

Figgy"s one condition is a home without dogs as he does not like them.

He's been vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for Feline Leukemia but positive for Feline Aids (FIV). FIV positive can live safely with other FIV negative cats as long as there are no deep bite wounds between them. For further info on FIV please reach out to us, we will be more than happy to give research information.

This is the ugly side of rescue. We're mourning this sweet little girl found extremely sick, malnourished, with a bad case of ringworm or mange, and thrown out by a despicable human.
She was abandoned with two other siblings that our awesome good Samaritan briefly saw but could not find as they ran. This little girl with a ready purr and loving eyes was named PIZZA because she was abandoned behind a pizza restaurant. Unfortunately, she was found too late to be saved and died despite our efforts. Although we only had her for two days, she will remain forever in our hearts.
Please, please spay or neuter your strays to prevent the suffering that PIZZA experienced in her short 6-7 weeks of life and the suffering that her siblings may be going through.
It doesn't matter if those strays are yours or not. If you feed them, fix them.

WARNING: Photos are a bit graphic.

Please help Us Rebuild Our Emergency Fund.

Meet Trinity, a sweet, approximately 10 week old kitten who was found suffering with a badly broken leg.

Trinity was taken to Dr. Kristick at Carolina Forest Veterinary Hospital, a specialist in animal orthopedics. Despite our hopes to save her leg, the injury was too extensive, and an emergency amputation was necessary.

We have already covered the cost of Trinity's surgery, but we now find ourselves in need of replenishing our emergency fund. This fund is crucial for helping other kittens like Trinity who require urgent medical care.

We kindly ask for your donations to help us rebuild this vital resource. Your generosity will enable us to continue providing life-saving surgeries and care for future kittens in need.

Thank you for your compassion and support. We truly appreciate you.

Little Angel has finally grown a little bit and she now qualifies for her surgery. Early this week, I took her in for some lab work in preparation of her eye surgery. This morning at 8 am sharp, I dropped her off at the Animal Hospital of North Myrtle Beach where Dr. Margaux Werle DMV will be performing Angel's eye enucleation. Margaux Werle specializes in ophthalmology so Angel is definitely in good hands.

I will update this evening on how her surgery went. To all of you that donated to make this possible we THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.

If you would like to read about what entails on an eye enucleation, here's a link I found.

Please help Angel, a kitten in desperate need of eye removal surgery. Angel was found and rescued by Donna Johnson, a compassionate woman who has been caring for the cats at the dump in Conway. After discovering Angel, Donna took her to the vet, where it was determined that her ruptured eye needs to be removed.
Donna reached out to Safe Haven 4 Cats SC for assistance. Yesterday, Ana Paulus picked up Angel to bring her under our care. We are now working on scheduling an appointment with our vet to get an estimate for the surgery, which we anticipate will cost between $600 and $800 based on our past experiences.
We will update you with the exact estimate as soon as we have it. In the meantime, we are asking for your support. Any contribution towards Angel's surgery would make a huge difference. Safe Haven 4 Cats SC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that relies on donations from generous people like you.

Please help us give Angel the chance for a pain-free life. Thank you for your kindness and support❤️
