So last month we gutted our Outdoor Catitat from the two+ year old cat trees and beds that were weather beaten. We did a new layout and installed several partial cat trees from the inside of our home where parts of them were shredded but sections were still in good shape. It is SUCH A JOY to see our cats enjoying being outdoors, hanging out together and yet totally safe !!

Until we get a facility, a lot of people ask how we are able to keep 28 cats in our home to which most all of them we transferred from other rescues due to abuse, health issues, unusual circumstances surrounding each cat, etc. The Question is since they are all uncaged and especially when it comes to litter boxes, how do we do it??

First off, in July 2012, when the economy had tanked, we were blessed and got a gorgeous, well built, up to date home with 5500 sq. ft. at a price one could not pass up. We were in the right place at the perfect time!! Our home was only on the market for a total of 54 hours.

So with a full size finished basement, main floor and upstairs we have a total of 16 litter boxes. 14 of those are jumbo size and 2 are extra large size. Because we have folks coming to our house a lot, we only use Arm & Hammer Clump and Seal Litter. We virtually have no odor and we scoop anywhere from 5 to 7 times a day. We change out the litter boxes with clean & sanitized ones monthly, Add litter weekly, and currently we go through 22 - 38 pound boxes of litter per month (836 pounds). We are supported with special pricing for the litter, but our monthly cost for litter alone is $440 or $5280 annually.

A big thank you to our donors who support us from time to time and monthly, We greatly appreciate you and this is an area that some of your funding goes to. If you would like to support our rescue for these cats we care for, go to our website and at the bottom of our main page we'll show you all the ways you could donate. www.catifycafe.org

This is a SECOND SCAM (BOGUS DONATION) Attempt aimed at our Non-Profit. Look at our June 10th Post for a check for $4000 from a different scammer. This check was a Real Bank and Real Account number, STOLEN. The next paragraphs is from the SCAMMERS and unfortunately some people will FALL for this!! Sadly, we could have used both of these funds towards our vet bills!!

(One of MANY emails from this SCAMMER)
Greetings,

I am writing to bring to your attention an error we recently discovered upon reviewing the payment details.

After cross-checking our records, we realized that our secretary mistakenly issued a check in the amount of $4,550 instead of the
intended $1,550 donation we had pledged.

The remaining amount was originally designated for a separate donation to an Orphanage supporting children in need of medical treatment and medication. Unfortunately, a mix-up occurred, and the entire sum was issued in a single check to your organization.

We sincerely apologize for this oversight and would greatly appreciate your guidance on how best to proceed with the excess funds. We trust in your integrity and are confident your organization will assist us in resolving this matter appropriately.

Thank you very much for your time, understanding, and kind assistance.

Best regards,
Jennifer Paddock

"Buttons" Follow-up update for our donors/followers: The LAST Paragraph is a RECAP from our July 13th Post about what Buttons current condition was at that point in time...

Buttons is Such a JOY and a BEAR at the same time !! Overall, he is doing good, but we are still dealing with either a parasite or a GI/Digestive issue. We did submit today a Stool Sample to the vets to be tested for everything including Giardia (Parasite). His stools have improved from diarrhea to mushy piles. We have also started him on the expensive prescription food, Hills Science Diet BIOME & ID combination which is what we feel helped stop the diarrhea part. We will get those test results back in a couple of days.

Since our last post, I have made a little more progress with him in "Humanizing" him. I still have to be "On Guard" with him as his personality from time to time is one where he looks like he want to jump/attack you and HAS launched upward towards me when I am on the floor on my knees on occasion, so I am working with him still. There are times in the last week he is ACTUALLY Purring while I pet him gently, so I am holding out HOPE for this one. Thankfully, so far, he bites, but are love bite types, just enough to let me know BUTTONS is in charge, until I bring in food or treats, then "I" seem to be in charge.

NOW that he is safe, it is neat to see him relax and actually play with toys and our other cats verses being ON GUARD all the time having to lived outside and get in fights with who knows what as we saw him injured a couple of times prior to trapping him. We are also thankful he tested NEGATIVE on his SNAP test. For now we will continue to help him get better. If you would like to HELP with Buttons Expenses, LINKS are at the end. Thank You.

RECAP Post from July 13th:
BUTTONS: Our Capture on June 8th, was fixed on June 10th, SNAP Tested Negative and was GOING to be released on the 12th after a couple days of recovery. Well, we STILL have him today. He wound up having Round and Tape Worms, Diarrhea and I'm suspecting Giardia. We got him through ONE round of Panacur with his MOIST Food, and NOW we can't get him to take the second round, so we are working through this. He is STILL Semi-Feral, hisses, attempts to bite (not hard yet) but WILL NOT let us pick him up, let alone give him medication via mouth. His NAILS need trimmed in a bad way. Other than that he is doing good and I AM able to pet his head, chest and front paws, so I am making SLOW progress.

If anyone would like to help with our ongoing expenses with our current 28 cats, we are a 501c3, all volunteer non-profit and all proceeds will go directly for their care. We would greatly appreciate your support!! Thanks.

Well, we got the REMODEL of our 18' Long by 5 1/2' Wide by 8' Tall, Two Level Outdoor Catitat. (see our 7/15/25 Post for the Old Look). We were HOPING to have it done on Friday the18th for our cat Sneakers whom we lost Friday, but he DID get to enjoy the lower main deck with his friends in the morning. Starting yesterday we put together the new insides and finished up this afternoon. This week we will add some rubber mats on the lower deck and outdoor carpet on the walk-ways.

I was under a GREAT DEAL OF PRESSURE to get this done with all the Supervisors out there inside the Catitat with me. However at the end, it was Heartwarming to see them already start to ENJOY their new layout. With the new layout, this can accommodate ALL our cats we currently have (28). From Spring to Fall, they virtually live outside in this. There is a 22" overhang over all sides to protect them from most rain storms without getting wet. All we do is open one of our windows to allow them access in/out whenever they want.

If we are able to build our facility we have on blueprints, there will be FOUR of these (2 1/2 times Larger than this one, 225 Sq. Ft, Two Levels) attached to our Four Large Adoption Rooms to house 120+ Cats.

Friday July 17th, A SAD DAY at Catify... RIP Sneakers / 3:20pm

This morning as I was feeding our remaining 28 cats, it was SO VERY SAD for us. Sneakers was our "Lid Licker" cat where NO FOOD went to waste. He would always lick CLEAN all the lids of the cans we opened to get all the juices/gravy off of them (with my thumbs over the sharp edge of course). That is actually how we fed him for this last week, between 50 to 80 mls per day via LID. He was also my supervisor in making all the food in the mornings for the other cats. I have a routine.... all cats fed in a certain order with THEIR foods they like. Today I had to learn to ADJUST how that was done..... No More Churu's, No More Treats, No More Lap Time, No More SNEAKERS...

Our Post on July 13th updated you on the "Health Status" of some of our cats with health issues. Sneakers went to the vets on Wednesday July 16, and after examination was given, a Depo-Medrol shot and a Convenia Antibiotic shot. By Wednesday evening he showed signs of doing better right up through Thursday morning. Starting at noon Thursday he went back downhill and virtually stopped eating again. Due to his age (between 13 & 15 Years Old), his Chronic Lymph Node issues every 60-90 days for the last several years that required medication each time, being FIV Positive, the vet was fairly confident he was now dealing with Cancer that became aggressive within the last 45 days with now more Lymph Nodes being affected.

Sneakers was one we trapped back in 2015 (as an adult, estimating age between 3-5 Years Old) He was FIV Positive then and at least 50% deaf. Once we got him through his initial issues once we caught him, he LOVED LIFE. He loved our outdoor habitat, always hung out close to the other cats and TRULY was a member of our close Catify Family!! Like our other cats who have passed, I was there with him until the end, holding him and telling him how much he was loved!! Sneakers has been one of our more expensive cats to maintain good health for (with vets, medications and surgeries), but the Love, Fun, Laughter and Affection we got from him was worth more. Sneakers will be missed in a bad way, but will forever remain in our hearts!! RIP Sneakers!!

Today, while it's 90° out with a 95° heat index, What a great day to ground our cats inside the air conditioning and strip out their outdoor Catitat. Tomorrow this habitat will get a hot power wash and sanitized and repurposed cat trees will be going back in. We will post pictures of this when we are done. Hopefully by Friday.

Temporary Facility Search AND HEALTH UPDATE on Several of our Cats for our Followers/Donors. Strong, Lucy & Abby, Buttons and NOW Sneakers...

As most of you know we have been LOOKING for a building to AT LEAST to Start with until we can raise the funds needed to build our State of the Art Facility. We WERE going to bid on a 5000+ Sq. Ft. Building in Rittman, Ohio on Thursday, June 17th, Ideal Layout for handling up to 200 cats, but would require MAJOR Clean Out, Build Out and Clean Up!! It sold for $400K in 2021 and starting bid (Foreclosure) $103K. Upon Major Research, it's in a FLOOD Area that happens often, so due to OUR cats living there, we are unfortunately PASSING on this opportunity due to RISK with our cats. However, The CHURCH (Marshallville, Ohio) we put an offer in on and posted about on August 9th, 2024 is STILL Available (Initially $229K Asking) and now reduced to $179K (5600+ Sq. Ft.) so we are reconsidering putting in another offer, will keep you updated.

Our Cats: STRONG..... Overall health wise doing good. He STILL has some complications from being HIT by a VEHICLE at 4 weeks of age (severe nerve damage). We WERE going to Amputate his tail (since he still has NO feeling in it) but due to Nerve Regrowth (extremely slow) we wanted to extend nutrition, laser & massage each night for a while. Today, his attacks on his tail (self biting) has SLOWED way down, maybe once a month or so verses a s a week. He has movement in his tail, but leans to the LEFT mostly, and only has PARTIAL control of bowel movements, leaving small SOLID droppings from time to time. His CARE has been very expensive, but worth it and were hopeful now we will see his attacks stop all together so we can STOP wrapping his tail in popsicle sticks & bandage daily.

LUCY & ABBY: Rescued 5/16/25, saved from being euthanized, Senior cats. After the TWO had Dental Surgery (unexpected) they had just recovered from that and Abby took ill. Abby went to the vets, had blood labs and then went on medication for 10 days. Since then, they BOTH are doing well. Unfortunately, during this "healing" time, they have really took to my wife & I, they pour on the love and affection and BOTH are even bed kitties!! Neither one was before we are told by the family. Abby would lay on a couch next to their original human and that was about the extent of it. Abby now lays on my wife's chest in bed and takes her NOSE and pushes against my wife's nose and just pour's on the love.

BUTTONS: Our Capture on June 8th, was fixed on June 10th, SNAP Tested Negative and was GOING to be released on the 12th after a couple days of recovery. Well, we STILL have him today. He wound up having Round and Tape Worms, Diarrhea and I'm suspecting Giardia. We got him through ONE round of Panacur with his MOIST Food, and NOW we can't get him to take the second round, so we are working through this. He is STILL Semi-Feral, hisses, attempts to bite (not hard yet) but WILL NOT let us pick him up, let alone give him medication via mouth. His NAILS need trimmed in a bad way. Other than that he is doing good and I AM able to pet his head, chest and front paws, so I am making SLOW progress.

SNEAKERS: We have had him since 2015 I believe. He is FIV Positive, and has had several health challenges, some on a regular basis (every 2 to 3 months). In the last few weeks he has dropped some weight and up through Friday 7/11/25 was still eating, active and good bathroom habits. Starting Friday (same day we took our 85 Y.O. Mother to the ER who was admitted to the hospital), Sneakers almost stopped eating (very little each time) laying around a lot, staying inside our house when he loves being outside in the habitat for hours on end. We have started him on medication we have for him here and will see how he is by tomorrow. MY GUT suspects "end of life" as based on history/health, this will be major if he does not pull through this.

If anyone would like to help with our ongoing expenses with our current 29 cats, we are a 501c3, all volunteer non-profit and all proceeds will go directly for their care. We would greatly appreciate your support!! Thanks.

PLEASE bring your Cats/Dogs and other pets/animals INSIDE from At Least Wednesday (7/2/25) thru Monday Morning (7/7/25). Fireworks will Spook/SCARE most of them and/or create high anxiety with them. Keeping them INSIDE is a way to keep them SAFE. MANY of these precious outdoor animals will RUN OFF and RUN AWAY and due to the EXTREME LOUDNESS of these Fireworks, that in many areas (Like Ours) are shot off NIGHTLY in neighborhoods and then you have to deal with those Elaborate Displays that go on for up to an hour non-stop.

ONE of our 29 Current Cats showed up shortly after Major Fireworks in our area (less then 1/2 mile from us) several years ago. This WAS an Indoor cat as he was FIXED and Declawed. PLEASE keep your pets SAFE during this time of the year, Turn on and up the volume a little on your T.V., if you are home, play with, Love on them or just support them during these times. Calming Treats for some cats do help.

"Buttons" Update: Two Weeks since he was Fix & Received his FVRCP & Rabies Shots (See June 17th Post), He was since treated for 7 days with Panacur for Round Worms and potential Giardia (in case of). He is currently on a break from that treatment and will get another 7 days to make sure we got them all. However, he is about to be treated for Tapeworms during the break from Panacur.

This poor little guy has been through a lot and at least now is safe. Buttons is Actually and Surprisingly very happy in his Large 4' L X 3 1/2' T X 40" W cage. NOW, after about 10 days... all of our other cats seem to be fine with him, especially since his hormone levels are coming down. I have tried to leave the door open for him to come out and explore, but he at this time prefers to stay in his cage.

Buttons, after about 5 days of being with us, he has allowed me to start to touch and pet him, but seems to be sensitive from the shoulders downward to his tail. Each day we are gaining more trust. When I reach a DO NOT TOUCH area on him, Buttons has BIT me now about six times... but surprisingly, they were ALL LIGHT Love Bites, No aggression, No punctures and TWO TIMES even gave me a SINGLE kiss afterwards. However, I DO GET THE LOOK to not touch there again!! We will update you again after we get all the worms and diarrhea cleared up.

NEXT UPDATE: Abby & Lucy whom we assisted in Saving on May 16th....

06/22/2025

PLEASE.... for ANY Outdoor Cats, Dogs or other Animals, PLEASE put out Bowls of Water and keep them Fresh/Changed. If you have Large Bowls or even old large cooking pan, fill 1/2 way to 2/3's full and try adding ice cubes of even frozen bottles of water to help keep it cool. Place them in SHADED areas where they can rest, and for those strays a bowl of dry food would be great too. If you are able even provide a large shaded area, especially for larger animals. For Most of Ohio and MANY OTHER states (6/22/25 - 6/24/25), the next few days will be in the 90's with a Heat Index of 100+. Please help those strays in YOUR AREA!! This needs to be done ALL Summer!! Thank You!!
