šŸ§” ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT: SAWYER šŸ§”

Sawyer was rescued two years ago in horrific condition. He was microchipped and abandoned by his previous owner. He is still waiting for his furrever family!

šŸ’”šŸŒˆ Our world feels emptier. Our beautiful, brave boy Lino has lost his fight with cancer and crossed the rainbow bridge.

Itā€™s hard to put into words how much this loss hurts. Four years ago, Lino was broken, discarded, and left behind on the streets of South Philly. People walked past him. They said he was ā€œferal,ā€ unworthy of saving. Even the vet said he would never survive. But we couldnā€™t let him fade away without a chance. We couldnā€™t let his story end that way.

And then, Lino showed us who he truly was. He wasnā€™t feral. He wasnā€™t hopeless. He was love. Pure, gentle, trusting love. He fought back against every odd stacked against him and reminded us what survival and forgiveness really look like.

For the past four years, Lino has lived a life filled with warmth and devotion in the arms of the family who looked past the scars and whispered, ā€œThatā€™s our boy.ā€ They gave him not just a home, but a lifetime of love in the years he had left.

We are devastated, but we are also grateful, grateful to his parents who gave him everything he deserved and more. He was finally seen. Finally cherished. Finally safe.

Rest now our beautiful boy. Youā€™ve touched so many hearts and taught us to very give up and always fight for the ones who are fighting back. We love you ā¤ļø

You will always be our miracle, our fighter, our lesson to never give up on a soul that still wants to live. We will carry you in our hearts forever.

Aeron is the happiest, most loving and playful baby ā¤ļø

Weā€™ve had him in the rescue about a week but Sunday morning when a volunteer went to feed the cats in the quarantine (Sideroom) Aeron seemed off. He wasnā€™t his playful self and just wanted to lay down and cuddle.

It was a HUGE change from the night before when he was running around like a lunatic with his favorite bloody knife toy. When rushed him over to the ER where they confirmed it was definitely the right decision.

Aeron had a 107.8 temperature! Itā€™s come down since being treated the last few days and they believe itā€™s viral and nothing that is long lasting. Heā€™s still there hopefully coming home today šŸ™.

Butā€¦.. his bill is now over $4,800 with a new estimate sent and we really need help to raise this. You guys know by now how we are in debt and have been fighting our way down so please share and donate to help this very sweet boy ā¤ļø

šŸ’™ Carson: From Forgotten to Forever šŸ’™

When Carson was found, he wasnā€™t curled up on a couch or sunbathing in a window. He was lying in a pile of trashā€”cold, filthy, and discarded in a neighborhood that had given up on him. But even then, with matted fur and tired eyes, he didnā€™t hiss or run. He just looked up, quietly, as if askingā€¦ ā€œIs someone finally here for me?ā€

And nowā€”finallyā€”someone is.

Carson is a 7-year-old Siamese mix with breathtaking blue eyes that have seen too much sadness but still reflect hope. With every bath, every gentle stroke, and every soft word, heā€™s come back to life. His coat is clean and soft again, and his heart is openā€”ready to trust, ready to love, and ready to be loved back.

Heā€™s gentle. Grateful. Affectionate in the quietest, most touching ways. He wonā€™t demand attentionā€”heā€™ll simply show up beside you, lay his head down, and let out a sigh of peace, like he knows heā€™s finally safe.

Carson is FIV+, but heā€™s healthy, thriving, and has so much love to give. FIV isnā€™t a sentenceā€”itā€™s just a part of his story. And after everything heā€™s endured, we know the rest of his story deserves to be beautiful.

šŸ’™ Carson wasnā€™t trash. He was treasure all along. He just needed someone to see it.

Will you be his forever?

šŸ¾ā›³ Cat Cup Championship 2025 Results ā›³šŸ¾

What an incredible day yesterday at the Cat Cup! šŸ’š

This year, 24 amazing participants came together on the course and raised over $4,200 to support the stray cats of South Philly. Every swing, every putt, and every laugh on the green helps us continue our mission.

A special highlight of the day,šŸ† ā€œThe Rickā€ trophy was awarded, keeping alive one of our favorite Cat Cup traditions.

We are endlessly thankful to Tyler, his family, and friends, who created the Cat Cup 5 years ago. Watching this event grow year after year has been truly heartwarming, and we are blown away by the community support. šŸ’š

Thank you to everyone who played, donated, volunteered, and cheered us onā€”together, weā€™re making a real difference for the cats and keep an eye out for next year! šŸ¾āœØ

We have SO many projects in progress in addition to the texts, emails and calls for assistance. We really need people to help foster these cats. We simply have no room to put anyone else!

Just last night 2 kittens and an adult were dumped in a South Philly park thatā€™s very busy and also on a very big and busy Main Street. Our volunteer rushed over to grab them and was able to grab the 2 younger ones but the adult snuck away past the traps which ensued us diverting him away from the street while dodging cars. Unfortunately heā€™s still at large and well be working on finding him this weekend.

Last weekend, we set out to contain a group of cats and kittens to at were dumped awhile back that had just been brought to our attention. We were able to get 3 kittens and 1 adult that are SO FRIENDLY! There are still 4 more out there and KITTENS that we are also searching for this weekend.

Where are all these cats going?? We have no clue and we need people to please open their homes to them!
We cover all medical care but do ask if Fosterā€™s can provide the food and litter (prescription/special foods covered).

Weā€™ve had a few cats returned from adoption in addition to cats that are in foster that also now need to move (AGAIN). We also ask that you commit to fostering until the cats are adopted. The stress of trying to find new Fosters for cats that people have already committed to fostering is mounting šŸ˜ž.

Here are some of the cats weā€™ve taken in over the last few weeks. *Videos in comments*

WE NEED FOOD (yet again) šŸ«Ø

We are down to 2 cases of wet food for The Scratching Post that is constantly over capacity and has recently been over run by KITTENS plus all their adult parents!

Our cats in foster homes can also really use some food so PLEASE FEED THESE WILD ANIMALS!

We go through at the least 250 cans of food a week at the center! It really does go quick and let me tell you about the P*E PADS! Oh the things they do to them!

Russell is still available for adoption!

Russell is a resilient soul with a heart of gold. Despite a rocky beginning, Russellā€™s spirit shines brightly, illuminating the path to his forever home. Initially a bit shy, this courageous feline blossoms into a sweet and affectionate companion once trust is built, revealing his true, loving nature.

Russellā€™s longing for warmth and love knows no bounds. He adores being held and cuddled, finding solace in the gentle embrace of his human friends. His journey has equipped him with remarkable strength and resilience. Though he is FIV+, with proper care and a nurturing environment, Russell is primed for a happy and healthy life.

This endearing tabby dreams of a serene abode, ideally with one or two feline friends, in a tranquil setting. While his stance on dogs remains unknown, his lap-cat disposition and unwavering affection promise a bond that transcends words.

Are you ready to open your heart to Russellā€™s unwavering love? Welcome this brave, tender-hearted cat into your home and experience the joy of a companion whose spirit is as bright as his future.
