Cat Cabin update! We have had several donations come in this week. We thank and appreciate ALL of you! We have drywall starting this week and the mini split HVAC has arrived. That gets installed after we are done with the drywall. We have reached almost the entire goal with the exception of a few things. We had a wonderful volunteer for another shelter we work well with send us a $2,000 check which we appreciate SO much! We will still need some cages to fully maximize our space and shelves but those will come. Thank you to everyone who has donated to help and thank you to everyone who continues to support us.

"Shut your mouth! What do you mean tomorrow is Monday?"

Arthur is so sweet and playful, he is purring for me but still not sure about being picked up. But he paws at me and loves to play.

Him and his brother Perci are still up for adoption!

Does anyone feed their animals Purina Pro plan? Dog or cat food? I have submitted an application to be sort of an ambassador of their program. If we offer it to the public to purchase we can get our food at a significant discount. Which obviously would help the rescue a lot. Currently we feed the cheaper Purina Kitten and Cat chows but the proplan is a higher quality food and we have had some donated it makes a huge difference. So I wanted to gage interest before we commit to anything.

I just took a couple screen shots but they have so many different foods in their pro plan lineup this includes I believe the canned food too.

Gotta love it when you have just finished cleaning a cage and hear someone digging to the middle of the earth and slinging all their litter everywhere. 🙄🤣

New TikTok.... Pretty sure this person is just a troll. This is the 2nd time she has commented on my dirty cages. In another video she comments I have to clean with more than paper towels. Yes I know that.... I do paper towels for light cleaning and scrubbing as seen here for deeper cleaning. But haters will hate. Regardless their ignorant comments just boosts my engagement and algorithms so I appreciate it! 🤣

Cat Cabin updates! We have gotten about $200 in donations since last night's posting. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far!

FYI the mini split is a small ductless HVAC system. Someone asked about heat so thought I would clarify that cause that's a good question! ❤️

Ok Friends! We need to share share and engage as possible. I have noticed our engagement is way down (I am seeing a lot of pages saying the same thing so it's a Facebook thing). The more people engage the more people it will show up for.

We are in the final push for finishing our cat cabin! The cost of the cabin alone was $11,000 with nothing extra done. All fall and winter Casey has been working hard to get it finished inside and ready to go.

We have already spent several thousand in getting the electrical, insulation etc finished.

I don't have the pretty words, the long lengthy posts designed to play on people's emotions and generate tons of donations. That's not my style, I am honest and frank. I get down and we work our tails off probably harder than so many realize. I don't know anyone in rescue who spends so much time doing craft shows selling things WE make to help raise money on top of all of the community projects we do such as TNR and helping people care for their animals.

We badly need your help. This cabin while not a lot and not fancy is vital for us to continue to help as many as we have already.

It not only has capabilities of handling more animals safely then what we do inside our house but it also leaves the inside rooms designated for rescue for housing sick animals and more fragile ones.

Not only the amount of animals we can help with this cabin but it will allow us to store more food/litter and supplies we can use to help families in need. It will give us better meet and greet area as we will have room for people to actually really play with the kitties and we will finally be able to allow volunteers to come in and help. We will also be implementing a new spay/neuter assistance program to help people get their animals spayed/neutered at no cost to them in exchange for volunteer hours. This is a new and upcoming program we have discussed with several families needing our assistance. It helps people get their animals fixed without feeling bad asking for assistance and not having to wait till they have the funds.

This cabin is vital! Please if you share no other post please share this. Like, comment direct people to it.

If you have never donated to us before please make this the 1 time you do. Even if it's just $1 every bit helps.

We primarily take strays from the Miami county area. We work hard with our community and have no city contracts. Despite claims from another rescue we are 100% licensed and follow KDA rules regarding stray and owner surrenders. We don't do anything "off the books". It's legal and I have always tried to be transparent. Even sharing when we have heartbreaking losses which is not normal for rescues to share even tho it's a heartbreaking reality.

Please help, even if not a cat person. It doesn't take a cat lover to be compassionate to the animals and the people working so hard to help.

Thank you, thank you to our donors so far. Thank you to those that encouraged this dream, thank you to those who have volunteered many hours already and most of all thank you to my family especially my husband who works a labor intensive job as an electrician and then comes home and busts his butt to help the animals and huge thank you to his mom who loaned us the money for the initial purchase of the cabin.

This post was in a group I am in for emotional support for rescuers. To say burn out is REAL and it's hard and fast. It doesn't take long in rescue for someone to get burned out. If I seem like I have "changed" over the last year it's sure exhaustion, stress and burnout. I still love all our animals and I still am way more understanding of people needing help.

However I will no longer "keep my head down" and ignore animal exploitation and abuse. I will call it out be it an individual or group or "rescue". Most rescues are good and legit. But there are a few that aren't in it for the right reasons and I will call it out!

Does that make me bad? No, I work well with a bunch of rescuers and rescuers and vets etc. I just don't work well with liers, abusers and thieves.

My number 1 sign of burnout in me is anger or irritability. Honestly tho I could have check ALL the boxes. But they asked for the top 2...... Notice the votes are on 3 more than any other one. It's epidemic in our world and it's just getting worse.

Please understand we aren't hateful normally by nature. We are probably just burned out. 😅

New intakes!
These are "owner" surrenders. But per KDA regulations we have to make attempt to make sure they have no families missing them. The 5 "kittens" tho were born on the property. The 2 adult females had shown up as strays at some point.

Found around 295th in Louisburg on a farm.
No microchips detected obviously. Mandatory 3 day stray hold will be served per the KDA.

These babies are part of a colony in Louisburg we are trying to help. She has already TNR'd at least 13 and there are still 10-15 including these 7 that need fixed. Unfortunately the property is being sold and all cats need removed if possible. So will need barn homes for the feral ones.

These ones are scared but were friendly to them so I think they will come around quickly. Both momma's are pretty friendly already.

The kittens are around 6mo old, 4 males 1 female but she appears to have recently been in heat (blood stain on her fur) so we will try and get her spayed ASAP.

This family has hit a rough patch and unfortunately have no money to help with expenses. Not only are we taking on these 7 but we are also going to try and assist with TNR the remaining unfixed ones so we do need donations. If you can donate even a little. As you know 7 intakes from 1 place is a lot for our small rescue but it needed done. Plus the 2 we already rescued this weekend.

If you would like to foster and help socialize that would be awesome too! Please reach out!

We scored another critter nation cage yesterday for a steal of a price!! I am absolutely in love with these cages. They are big and STURDY and the bar spacing is so small tiny kittens can't get out. They are perfect mother/baby cages. We can put momma and newborns on the lower level and the litter box on top giving momma a chance to go up and use the bathroom in peace but not worry about the babies falling. Plus the double doors and being on a stand is back friendly for cleaning etc. I have added them to our amazon wishlist and we could use several more as we near completion of the cabin. These are the model numbers of the 2 we have currently.
