More good news today! Ángela and pepita both went to a foster home together! Thank you Lisa Muñiz and Lucky You Animal Rescue for taking both of them. It’s always sad to see them go to a new home (foster or adoptive), but I know they are going to have so much fun with the new cats and more space!
Thank you also to The Cat Collaborative for paying for their vetting, and Philadelphia Urgent Rescue & Relief, Inc - PURR for paying for meds for their Uris ❤️❤️
Lina found this spot when trapping cats and was just amazed by how much trash there was! She went there Sunday and spent 3-4 hours cleaning, and managed to clean 10 bags of trash from this area. Unfortunately there is still a bunch to do, but she will be back!
This brings the total to 24 bags cleaned so far! The goal is to clean 100 bags of trash in one month, and collect donations to support a local nonprofit Philadelphia Urgent Rescue & Relief, Inc - PURR. Please consider making a donation if you support this project of cleaning trash! You can donate through this post or through the options on their website: https://www.purrphilly.com/donate

SOS!
I was out looking for a pregnant cat today when I saw this little guy limping in front of a house. It looks like he was bit by something. I asked the person who lived there- he used to be her cat and she put him out because she doesn’t want him anymore. She didn’t care that he was hurt and said she doesn’t take care of him anymore and doesn’t want him on her porch. I have nowhere for him to go so I will have to bring him to acct in a few hours if I can’t find placement before then- he is in my car now. I really am worried they would return him and he clearly should not be returned. Please help!
Unfortunately, this is the reality for kittens born outside. They can be totally flea invested and anemic. When we go bring these kittens into our homes, we have to treat the fleas because otherwise our houses will get invested too. Normally I try to give kittens flea baths, but when they are this bad, I give them a capstar in order to make sure all the fleas are killed.
But- capstar is expensive! We buy it from abroad for $21.50 for 6 tablets. But the litter I brought in last night already used up my whole stash. If 12 people donate $5 each we could get about 18 tablets! Thanks for considering! You can also find capstar on our Amazon wishlist but it is much more expensive.

Lina is temp holding two older kittens that were in danger of being released because they were super shy in the trap. Within just 5 minutes of decompressing in a bathroom, both kittens were purring and one is coming up for pets! This is why fosters are so important- it’s way less scary to interact with a human in a bathroom alone rather than at clinic with 50 other cats around.
The one kitten is still really scared, but loves churu treats! Can anyone buy some churu from our wishlist so that we can use it to help her socialize? Or donate a few dollars so we can purchase it? Thank you 😻😻

Whenever we bring in cats or kittens, they almost always have fleas on them. Kittens are too young for topical flea treatment, and so they have to have flea baths! While they are very cute after a bath, it is exhausting to give 6 flea baths at a time. As always, the most important thing is to get cats spayed/neutered so that we can help the cats and kittens that already exist!
These kittens were trapped in January by The Cat Collaborative, and found rescue placement with paws!
