Dylan's forever home awaits him today. My emotions are bittersweet - happiness and sadness intertwined. While I am confident in the knowledge that he will flourish, I will undoubtedly miss his snuggles and the warmth of his greetings. Congratulations to Dylan, he will be profoundly missed!

This morning, Dylan and Hobbs will undergo surgery for neutering, microchipping, and vaccinations, marking a significant milestone in their journey. As their caregiver, I can confidently say that they are two of the sweetest boys I have ever had the pleasure of raising, making them ideal companions for those seeking a cuddle buddy. Now that they are ready for their forever home, I am excited to note that both boys, approximately three months old, are bursting with energy and showcase extremely playful and goofy personalities. While Dylan enjoys being carried like a baby, Hobbs prefers to mimic and follow you around like a loyal sidekick. If you are interested in adopting one or both of these charming boys, please send me a message. Additionally, we can schedule a meet and greet in our rescue room if you would like to meet them in person.

A Lot Has Happened Since the 4th of July...

On the 4th of July, while many were celebrating, we received an urgent message from a woman who found seven kittens in two abandoned buildings across the street from her. The buildings were scheduled to be demolished this week. As full as we already were—with plans to take in 14 more kittens the very next day—we knew we were the only ones who could step in. So we did.

These seven babies were in bad shape and needed immediate medical care. We jumped into action with fluids, antibiotics, heating pads, and round-the-clock monitoring. They’re now safe, and we’ll do everything in our power to get them healthy.

And we’re not slowing down. Today, we begin TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts for a colony of 20–25 cats belonging to a woman whose mother recently passed away. The cats were never spayed or neutered, and we’re stepping in to prevent things from spiraling further.

We still have the 14 kittens arriving—just delayed a couple of days due to an eye injury and allergy flare-up that left me unable to drive or work safely. Everything is finally back in motion.

💛 To everyone who’s supported us: you are the reason we’re able to keep doing this. Your donations, encouragement, and kind words push us through the hard days. I don’t name names because there are just too many of you to thank individually, but please know you are seen and appreciated.

We did have to add a few new items to our wish list that we hadn’t expected to need—pee pads, ear drops, cleaning supplies, and some extra kitten food to help feed all 21 incoming babies (on top of the many already in our care). With everything going on, I’ve had to pause DoorDashing until we settle into a routine. Once everyone’s out of quarantine, we’d love to welcome volunteers—just let us know!

🐾 Adoptables Available!
We currently have some wonderful cats and kittens looking for homes:

Billy has a lot of interest and we’ll be reviewing his applications this week.

Dylan is a cuddle bug who will melt in your arms.

Hobbs is curious and follows you around like a puppy—he even plays fetch!

Baby Bat has been the sweetest foster mom to so many kittens, and we think it’s finally her turn to find peace and love in her very own Forever Home.

We can’t thank you enough. Truly. Your support means everything to us and the cats we serve. We’ll keep fighting for them—because of you.

With gratitude,
Heather & Avenue Katz Rescue

I spent yesterday afternoon at Advent, seeking treatment for my prolonged sinus infection, which has persisted for approximately 5.5 months. Regrettably, the infection has progressed to affect my eyes, causing temporary blindness. Fortunately, I received prompt medical attention. However, I have discovered that I am highly allergic to cats, which is particularly disappointing given my passion for them. Life is presenting me with unforeseen challenges, but I am determined to find a solution that will enable me to continue pursuing my interests. Any recommendations for alleviating my cat allergy would be greatly appreciated, including suggestions for sprays or remedies that could be used in the home or personally.

🚨 Kitten Food Delay – We Need Backup! 🐾

We just received an alert that part of our kitten food order will be delayed. To make sure our growing kittens don’t go hungry, we’ve added Friskies Adult Pâté to our wishlist.

A fellow rescue let us know that the Friskies cans are labeled as safe for kittens too — and since they’re larger than the tiny Fancy Feast cans, they go much further!

Most of our babies are weaned off their mommas now, so having enough soft food is critical. We’ll take whatever we can get — we just want to make sure their bellies stay full. 💕

📦 Wishlist:

Thank you all for your continued support — you’ve helped us and our kittens in more ways than we can count. We are so grateful for every can, every share, and every kind word. 💕🐾

🚨 Emergency Intake — Please Help Us Fill Our Shelves! 🚨

We just got the call… 14 kittens desperately need our help, and we can’t turn our backs. We’re already lining up fosters and partnering with two other rescues to make this happen as soon as possible — but we need your help now to make it work.

Along with the kittens, 3 adult moms are also coming in. These cats are in danger of being given away on the street or ending up in the wrong hands. We have to step in before it’s too late.

🔹 We URGENTLY need:

Wet kitten food (major priority)

Adult wet food (priority)

Adult dry food

Litter (priority)

✅ We are good on kitten dry food, as most of the kittens are either still nursing or just starting to eat wet food.

We are moving fast to get them safe — please help us fill our shelves and prepare for this big intake. Every donation, every can of food, every shared post makes a difference.

📦 All donations will be split between the three rescues taking in the kittens and moms.
