Wishlist Weds....

Kinda late I know.

I purchased some of these but we need more. The Savannah cats were on this diet plus raw when they came. The kittens are adjusting well to the different meats I am offering them but the adult Nala is not enjoying the variety. She is very used to eating the Stella and Chewy plus a raw chicken leg every day. If you can send us a bag or two of either of these. Even if you can't take a gander at the price and keep this in mind if you are wanting to adopt one of these beautiful animals. They can not be fed cheap kibble, in fact they would do better on a fully raw diet. Please keep that in mind if thinking of trying to adopt.

I know there are vet techs out there that will say raw is bad... But I have consulted with many with a lot of experience with these cats, people who have worked with zoos and sanctuaries and vets that have worked with these animals..To be at their healthiest they need raw food.

Also if anyone has any slightly freezer burned unseasoned meat we can take that off your hands for it. We can grind it down and make it easier for the little guy to eat.

Autumn has a special announcement!

She has a spay surgery scheduled for Dec 9 (earliest we could get her in).

We we got her from our vet they said she was pregnant and due within days they felt like.

We waited.....

I started to question that it was to late to spay abort and just as I was going to move her into a slot I had already booked she popped with an upper respiratory illness. Nothing major but bad enough they wouldn't be able to do it.

Right when it cleared I could swear I saw and felt fetal movement... Hubby saw it too...

All the while she was living like a queen... Getting extra food and eating kitten chow to get her ready to nurse babies....

Then she had a mucus type discharge and I thought "here we go...." But nothing.....

All the hate I took...... 🙄

I decided to take her in to the vet to see if everything was ok. I hadn't thought to ask before if they had done any imaging till then. Well yesterday I took her in and they said "oh no we didn't, she felt so pregnant" and y'all she REALLY did/does feel pregnant!

They did an ultrasound and surprise! No babies! I swear when the vet told me that Autumn smirked at me knowing I had been fooled all this time.

The vet came in and said "no babies... Just fat" 🤣

So how the jig is up, she is officially considered overweight and needs to go on a diet. 🤣

I am actually relieved, we don't need MORE kittens coming into this world. I know that and absolutely do try and spay abort when I can. But when I am told she is within days of having kittens a lot of vets won't do it.

Despite some of the comments I had recently about her I have always had her best interest at heart. So she will be spayed and then up for adoption.

When we passionately scream to spay and neuter everything you come across this is why.....

You remember Maple and her 4 Saplings? 2 suddenly passed away shortly after arrival. No obvious reasons, they hadn't been sick. I combo tested momma then and there thinking maybe FELV she was negative. We consulted our vet who said it was likely bad genetics due to the fact momma herself was so young and this was her 2nd litter in 5mo.

Then we had the problems with Oak and her heat tilt and gait. We literally had these cats almost every other week at the vet. It was 1 thing after another. We spent hundreds if not over a thousand in vet bills on just them.

About 3 weeks ago they started with a kitty cold. Per vet direction we treated with eye ointment and bumped up their l-lysine to try and help their immune system fight it. At the time it was viral not a lot you can do and antibiotics don't work.
A few days later I could tell it has progressed to needing antibiotics so we rushed them into the vet.

At that point they had lung infections and were started on an antibiotic. Oddly enough Oak didn't hardly seem sick but we started her as a precaution. She was a little but not like Birch and Maple. We also started on a new antiviral the vet had recently heard about helping with Feline Herpes which is what they were diagnosed with as well as secondary infections.

For 2 long weeks I battled their illness. They would seem to be getting better and then regress again. Oak started to decline rapidly as well as Maple. Maple began coughing horribly, she started excessive drooling with blood. She was rapidly loosing even more weight (she was already so terribly skinny). Sadly I realized the most humane thing I could do for them at this point was euthanize. Yesterday we took them in for 1 final time. Vet confirmed they were likely to suffer illness after illness for the rest of their lives. It wasn't fair to any of them, it wasn't fair to me. To try so hard and love something and fight so hard for them to make it and then not. It feels like a smack in the face. It feels like I failed them even tho I know I didn't. I didn't do this to them, the family that claimed they loved her but refused to spay her did it to them. The family that almost didn't surrender her to me because they were selfish.... The family that said they would surrender the kittens already born but not her (I was to give her back after she raised her babies and I spayed her). They never called to check, I never heard back from them. 🙄

When we get so angry and passionate about spaying and neutering this is why.

Maple lived a short life full of having babies and being sick and suffering. Her kittens didn't need to be born just to suffer illness after illness and then their tiny lives snuffed out. If we get pissy and in your face about spay and neuter THIS is why. I held each one as they passed, I cried with each one, I had to go home after and clean their cage one final time, I had to go through my animal management software and mark each one as deceased and while doing so look at their little faces 1 more time.

This is what breaks rescuers. I want to just stay in bed all day and sleep because I am so worn out and emotionally drained but I can't because I have bottle babies and other cats needing care.

This is why rescuers get so aggressive with spay/neuter. Because then on top of ALL that we have critics out there that want to judge and tell us how to do what we do.

Spay and neuter... It's not that hard.

Every evening I put the litter scoops in a pail of kennel cleaner/disinfectant to soak till the next day. I have been keeping it outside because it hasn't gotten cold enough... Till now, oops I didn't even think to bring it inside last night. 🤣 Thankfully the ice broke apart pretty easily. And I can use my scoops again. 🤣

Good morning from the littlest rescues.

Snapper
Cub Cadet
Dixie
Ryobi

They are such perfect, fat babies. Eating well, going potty well.... And screaming very well. 🤣
They now recognize me as their momma and as soon as I approach their incubator that start screaming and crawling towards me. All eyes are open so they can take in their world.... Or at least our closet where their incubator is... 🤣

Gotta love my little alarm clocks.

I have wanted a catio for awhile and was originally looking for a smaller one. But with the arrival of the Savannah cats I figured we needed to spend the money and get a better one. Obviously they won't be out in it all the time. But this will give them some room to play.

Already spending a lot of money on these guys between ordering special vet recommended food and now this. 😅

If you would like to help with the costs we would appreciate it.

I know you all are excited about the Savannah cats and everyone wants one.

Just some things to remember, we are going to have an extensive application process.

We won't rehome to homes with small children.

We will not be charging our usual adoption rate. These cats are worth money and as such will be targets for people wanting to flip for money.

We will require a home check and then some.

So be prepared, we are still working everything out. Please be patient.

Thanks

3am Bottle feed, I know I haven't posted a lot of updates but the lawnmower babies are doing very well. No more hissing, I have even gotten a few purrs. They are gaining well and going potty well. I will try and get some new updated pictures later today. ❤️

Ok I have kept you all waiting long enough!
Please be aware these cats are going to get A LOT of attention and applications. We are always very cautious when rehoming animals but these are going to have some major requirements and their adoption fee will not be cheap.

These are Savannah cats, there are 5. One adult female around 4yrs old who is already fully vetted.
3, 6mo old females that still need vetting and a 12wk old male that needs vetting.

These are a breeder surrender, she is getting out of breeding due to some personal issues going on in her life. She called a few other places and said she just didn't feel comfortable with anyone or was told people were full. She was not one of those BYB types that just cranked out litter after litter. Her original breeding stock were $15,000 each. These babies are 3rd and 4th generation.

Savannah cats are some of the most high maintenance cats on the planet due to their extremely close to wild ancestors. In fact many states have strong regulations on them.
They require a lot of space, stimulation and attention. They require a special diet to be healthy. I will be ordering the food she had them on and I honestly felt a little bad giving them our regular stuff. 🤣 They also looked slightly offended. Ha!

She Sat here hugging them crying, it was heartbreaking these were raised by her with love.

Are they currently registered? No, could they be? They are eligible but I won't be able to do that. I will not be asking her to do it either. These cats will all be fixed and vaccinated before adoption period. They will not leave our rescue till they are fixed. I will not even consider fosters except for ones I already use and trust.

For now, help me welcome these perplexed babies into rescue. Being scared is typical regardless of breed at surrender. They have been handled a lot and I am already able to pet them.

They will likely require a separate application as well as we will need to make sure their specific needs will be met.

I know you all are dying to know what I had surrendered... I will post shortly, not Main c**n.

But today Hazelnut was adopted! Cindy has worked really hard and just as I suspected once the other foster cats that were taking up Cindy's attention were gone Hazelnut bloomed like a most beautiful rose. Cindy has also been working with her new adopter to get Hazelnut comfortable with the new family. They visited every few days for the last couple weeks and today she went to her new home with her new family. We are so thrilled and happy for everyone. Cindy did a great job and now Hazelnut is the sweetest, most confident baby thanks to Cindy's hard work.

Happy tails baby girl! I knew you could do it!
