💔 Rest in Peace, Sweet Maple 🍁
Last week, Maple was squeezed in to see the neurologist. He suspected either meningitis (possibly linked to her original head abscess) or hydrocephalus. She was started on antibiotics to treat the possible infection.
Two days later, Maple began to decline again — she couldn’t walk, and eventually lost control of her bladder. After consulting with the neurologist, she was started on steroids next.
Yesterday, Maple began having what appeared to be seizures, and by this morning, they were happening every few minutes. We rushed her to the ER vet, but it became clear that her tiny body had been through enough. 💔
Maple peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge this morning, wrapped in love, with one of our founders, Christa, right by her side. The vets assured us that this was the kindest, most compassionate choice we could make for her.
Maple suffered for most of her short life — she was only a baby, and she deserved so much more.
This is why it is so important to spay and neuter your pets — so kittens like Maple never have to be born just to suffer.
If you’d like to help with Maple’s medical expenses, any donations are deeply appreciated.

🚨🚨 THIS IS NOW AN EMERGENCY — FOSTER NEEDED BY TOMORROW 🚨🚨
It has been 48 hours since we first posted about a bonded mother-and-son pair being abandoned by their adopters with only 3 days’ notice.
Despite hundreds of shares, comments, and “so sad” reactions, NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON has stepped up to foster.
At this point — sympathy isn’t enough.
We don’t need more “poor babies.”
**We need ACTION. We need a foster — BY TOMORROW.
Why this is now critical:
The adopters refuse to transport them anywhere.
We have nowhere to put them.
Without a secured foster, we cannot guarantee their safety.
💔 Yes — they are ADULTS.
And let’s be real: if they were tiny kittens, we wouldn’t be begging like this.
Everyone wants kittens — but who will stand up for the grown cats who have already lost their home?
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
✅ Fostering is FREE.
✅ We cover all medical care.
✅ We can provide food, litter, and supplies if needed.
✅ You just give them a safe space until a forever home is found.
We are down to the wire. These two loving cats — a devoted mama and her son — are about to lose everything.
📩 If you can foster, MESSAGE US NOW.
Tag someone responsible — someone who will actually act, not just react.
TOMORROW IS THE DEADLINE. We cannot fail them again.

🚨 EXTREMELY URGENT — FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED WITHIN 72 HOURS 🚨
We are heartbroken — and deeply frustrated — to share that two of our previously adopted cats (a mother and her now-grown kitten) are being returned with only THREE DAYS’ notice.
To make matters worse, the adopters are refusing to transport them anywhere, leaving us scrambling to secure their safety. We are extremely concerned that without immediate help, these cats could end up in a dangerous or unstable situation.
These girls have been in a loving home since 2022. They are bonded, social, and fully vetted. Now, through no fault of their own, they’re about to lose everything familiar to them.
❗️We do NOT have space to take them back on such short notice.
❗️We need a COMMITTED foster or adopter IMMEDIATELY in the NY/NJ area.
❗️Transport help from NYC is also urgently needed.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
🏠 A reliable foster or adopter willing to take a bonded pair
🚗 Someone able to help with transport from NYC to safety
❤️ Someone who understands that animals are FAMILY, not disposable when life gets inconvenient
We are doing everything in our power, but this sudden surrender puts tremendous strain on our rescue. We refuse to let these cats fall through the cracks — but we can’t do it without help.
📩 If you can foster, adopt, transport, or even SHARE — please reach out immediately. Time is running out.
These cats did nothing wrong. Let’s make sure they don’t pay the price for someone else’s choices.

🌟 Meet Maple, our tiny fall fighter 🍁
Last week, Maple was found in Linden with her head stuck between rocks. By the time she was rescued, her little face was badly swollen, and she was in urgent need of medical care. 💔
She was found to have a serious infection, high fever, and severe dehydration. Once she was taken in by us her abscess was drained, she was started on antibiotics and subcutaneous fluids, and she had to be syringe-fed to keep her strength up.
The vet gave little hope at first… but Maple has proven she’s a fighter. ✨ Every day she pushes through, showing us she wants her chance at life.
Now she needs us more than ever. Your support will help cover her medical bills, medications, and the continued care that’s keeping her alive.
🙏 Please share Maple’s story, keep her in your prayers, and help us rally around this strong little soul. Together, we can show her just how loved she is.

🚨 URGENT – Sweet Friendly Cat Needs Placement 🚨
Yesterday morning, one of our fosters found a beautiful, friendly cat hanging around her home. She left for work, and when she returned that evening, the cat was still there waiting. She fed her, and this sweet girl was so friendly she could be picked up and brought inside.

Unfortunately, our foster is already full and cannot keep her. Our rescue is also at capacity—just like so many others right now—so we’re reaching out for help.

🐾 If you are a rescue with space, please message us!
🐾 If you’re willing to foster, we would consider bringing her into our rescue if you can foster until adoption. We have no open foster homes to move her to later, and adoption applications are coming in very slowly at the moment.

This beautiful girl urgently needs a safe place to go. If you can help in any way, please reach out ASAP!

📩 Contact us here or send us a message directly.
Let’s get this sweet cat safe and on her way to a forever home! 💛

🚨 URGENT – Sweet Luna Needs a Home 🚨(or new foster)

Four months ago, we rescued a young mama cat and her four babies from heartbreaking conditions. Luna had spent the first part of her life locked in a small crate in a dark, humid basement, raising her kittens without ever knowing sunlight, freedom, or love beyond those cramped walls.

All four of her babies have since been adopted… but Luna is still waiting for her happy ending. 💔

Now, her current foster no longer wants to foster her since the all the kittens were adopted, and we urgently need to find her a safe place to go. Luna is fully vetted, extremely friendly, playful, and only about a year old herself — she’s just a baby who has already been through so much.

We would love to place her in a forever home so she doesn’t keep getting bounced around, but we are also open to moving her to another foster until she’s adopted.

📍 She is currently in Elizabeth, NJ.
We provide all food, supplies, and medical care — you just provide the love and space she needs.

📩 Message us here or email [email protected] if you can open your heart and home to sweet Luna.
Even if you can’t foster or adopt, please share this post — it could be the share that changes her life. ❤️
