Cherry 🍒 is doing SO well! You can tell as soon as you scoop her up! She used to be all bones and SO light and now she feels like a healthy kitty 🥰❤️
Her fur is starting to come in nicely and she is more independent! We let Cherry roam today and she seemed quite content.
You would hardly know it’s the same cat!

Just incase you were wondering 😉….Cake is still waiting for someone to scoop him up and carry him off into the sunset 🌅 (his words not ours…)
Actually why don’t we just let him do the talking…we will type tho..rest assured…Cake has skills but that’s not one of them.

So I’m sure you probably know by now but my name is Cake. I’m not sure why they named me Cake but I’m thinking it’s because I’m a beefcake(not trying to brag..just practicing some self love here, ok)? I mean I guess that’s why because it seems logical to me! So anyways I used to live outside and was rescued by some loving hoomans and brought to Frankie’s. Dr. B said I was in dire need of a dental and all of my teeth needed removed. No worries though as I can still eat dry food like a champ as my husky physique shows 😉
And I mean just think about it…no teeth means I can’t ever bite you(I don’t bite people anyways because I think it’s mean and slightly icky..no offense but idk where your hands have been) So I feel great now! My teeth were really hurting me 🥺 prior to being rescued!
Frankie’s also neutered me, flea treated me(those little buggers are the worst!), microchipped me and I’ve had all my vaccines!
I have a permanently bent ear…it was like this before I arrived at Frankie’s but they told me that it adds character! Honestly idk what that means exactly but I know they love me to pieces so it has to be a compliment. Oh get this..I have OCE (Orange Cat Energy)!
🎶 You down with O.C.E?
Yeah you know me!🎶🎶
My entire Frankie’s Fam is really rooting for me to find my happily ever after🧡
So by now I’m sure you’re wondering where I can be found and how fast you can get there…well I can usually be found 😎 chillin by the food bowl at The Black Cat Market…(That is where all is cool cats and kittens go after Frankie’s has us healthy and all fixed up!) but honestly I’d rather Netflix and chill at your place!
Soo umm yeah…I can’t think of any good reason as to why I am still waiting for my very own hoomans! My work Fam told me that good things come to those who wait and so that’s the plan!

Hugs and scratchy cat kisses,

🐈 💋 Cake

Still looking for some barn homes

Spaying and neutering your cat can help them live longer, healthier lives, and can also help prevent unwanted pregnancies and behaviors.
Spaying female cats can prevent uterine infections and breast cancer, which is fatal in about 90% of cats.
Neutering male cats can also prevent testicular cancer and prostate problems.
An unaltered male will more than likely spray anything and everything.
Neutering can help prevent unwanted behaviors like the excessive urine marking, and the desire to roam to find a female.
In general altered cats tend to be more affectionate and less likely to fight.
Spaying and neutering plays a huge role in the fight of pet overpopulation which in turn helps reduce endless suffering. There are many benefits to altered community cats with one of the biggest being rodent control. A lot of people are unaware of just how helpful these cats truly are to a community. They are often misunderstood and a true asset.

HQHVSN (High quality high volume spay and neuter) Take a listen to Dr. Morrows podcast! This is why we do what we do!

What if the key to transforming animal welfare was hidden in the precision and efficiency of high-volume spay-neuter services? On this episode of United We S...

Cake...quite possibly the cutest cat EVER and he's had not ONE inquiry to adopt him. He has no teeth and a permanently bent ear... purrfection if you ask us! Cake wants nothing more than to find a family of his own to love him and feed him...Cake is a total foodie!

YOU could be the one with the most cake!🍰

Barn homes needed!

We are looking for at least a few barn homes(green houses, factories and so forth) for some wild at heart feral/semi feral cats. Their mousing skills will more than make up for their care! These cats unfortunately came from cruelty/ humane cases and are finally healthy enough for a better life. Currently these cats are in one room at Frankie’s…they are bored and the sooner we move cats the sooner we can help more cats in need. These cats actually already lived outside so they are happy outside and used to it…that being said we are never opposed to an indoor home but to be honest most people don’t want to open their homes to a cat that may never want to be their bestie. On the flip side often with time and love these cats can learn to trust and love you! At the end of the day we just simply want them happy and to have the space to help more cats in need. We are waiving all adoption fees for these cats! They have been spayed/neutered/microchipped/vaccinated/wormed/flea treated…some needed dentals and so forth. Please email us at [email protected] if you think you have a place in your heart for them!

Calling any local vets, vet techs, and vet assistants! 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

This is LAST MINUTE, but we had a few cancellations for our Oct. 12/13 High Quality High Volume Spay/Neuter (HQHVSN) training workshop due to the terrible storms in the south. If any vets, techs, or vet assistants want to join in, please email our CE Concierge, Alan, at [email protected].

The HQHVSN workshop is held at the 730 5th ave. New Kensington building. Saturday is classroom learning with some lecture and hands-on experience with surgical knot tying and cord/pedicle ties using models. It is from 9:30am to 5:30pm with breaks and a nice lunch at Rey Azteca.

Sunday (9:30am - 3:30pm) is the hands-on clinic with ~50 community cats, where vets use the HQHVSN techniques to become more efficient at surgery and techs/assistants run all of the other stations (prep, post-op, recovery) with our FF team members! This is FREE and worth 12 RACE-approved CE credits.

Come join the fun and learn how to do a 3 minute spay in the process!😄

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, for our community partner rescues/shelters and independent cat rescuers out there, we will be having a workshop for YOU on November 10th to go over how to perform physical examinations, give injections/fluids, and draw blood for combo tests. You will also get the "behind the scenes" experience and see how HQHVSN works. We will also have some classroom time going over sanitation protocols and other shelter medicine protocols.

Give us a shout out below if you are interested in the Rescuer's Workshop! 😺

She was a hissy tiny thing when we first rescued her and now she’s still very shy but once she gets to know you, she is truly a sweetheart! She LOVES Churu…and eating lunch with you…aka stealing your food and loves being pet! She hasn’t been a fan of being held but one day we think she will get there! She purrs like a champion 🥰

Mini Cherry 🍒 update
She is the ABSOLUTE sweetest and SO skinny and was SO very weak but when it comes time to give her fluids or meds she will buck like a wild bull with a LOT of strength so that’s a good sign😂🥰 even if it makes our lives more difficult we are excited that she has it in her! She isn’t the best at wanting to eat which is obviously a big concern but she is on an appetite stimulate medication and if you love on her and then sit with her, she will start to eat ❤️
Overall we feel she is doing great and are very proud of her 🥰
And we got some goodies in today! Much needed food, litter and treats so thank you all so much!

MeOw! We currently have a lot of cats that needed our help🥺….just this week alone we took in 6 cats in need of medical care. If anyone is able to donate any supplies we would be SOOOO appreciative. Currently we are in need of Purina Cat Chow (blue bag) and paper pellet litter more than anything else….supplies go quickly though 😝
and not a necessity but some of the cats informed us that we are almost out of temptations cat treat 🫢(the horror!)
Thank you all for the love!!
