The long awaited Samantha update!!! ❤️

Ugh things have been crazy as usual so I really apologize for the lag in updates but Samantha is doing so well!!! After spending 5 days in the hospital, she was stable enough to go home and she continues to get stronger!

She has her recheck check and still has a long ways to be built back up but hopefully this sweet girl continues to improve ❤️

Samantha ❤️‍🩹

We need funds to help this sweet senior girl get better! Samantha was picked up by one of our volunteers yesterday after she ran up to her crying.
She’s severely muscle wasted and thin. She’s so dehydrated that her veins are collapsing making it impossible for the hospital to get blood from her. She’s currently admitted but we can not move forward with much needed diagnostics unless we raise the money for her bills!

PLEASE DONATE AND SHARE SO WE CAN HELP SAMANTHA! We can’t do this without donations and your support!

Our hearts swelled when we received an email last week from an art teacher, Erica Mandell at George A. McCall School. ❤️

Several middle schoolers completed an animal advocacy project where they selected an animal up for adoption, gave the animal a crown, and learned how to draw and paint that animal, showing texture and value. Several students selected animals that were up for adoption through our organization.

The students name and the cat they sketched are listed below and also captioned.

Mi Lan - Leaf
Sati - Dino and Clifford
Seth - Little Man
Yawei - Spencer

This is so heartwarming and we are blown away that we were selected. Also, the love and care the students put into their illustrations of these cats is so beautiful. They are very talented and we are so honored ❤️

How has no one applied for Henrique!

This boy is loads of energy and fun. He’s also really affectionate! He’s been waiting at The Scratching Post for 4 months and is so ready for his new home!

06/04/2024

Over the past few months, we have been quietly working with New England area shelters to help populate their near empty cat condos. Considering we are constantly at max capacity, it’s hard to believe that there are ACTUALLY places where the demand to adopt exceeds the number of available cats.

Since January, we’ve transported a total of 48 cats up north to find their forever homes. Even though back here in Philadelphia we have some cats who have been waiting for over a YEAR to be adopted, ALL 48 cats have found their forever homes.

Take Percy (formerly Snowflake) for example. He was adopted less than 2 weeks after arriving in Massachusetts!! Read an amazing note from his new mommy on the third slide. If you have any reservations on the impact of this initiative, that message says everything you need to know!!

So far, we’ve been doing this completely out of pocket. All of the costs associated with bringing those cats into the rescue (spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip) are no longer recouped through an adoption fee. That plus the cost of obtaining health certificates for each cat to travel and the transportation itself adds up quick.

We have the opportunity to do this again, but this time we need to launch a fundraiser. Every donation will directly support safe transport, ensuring each cat gets the care and love they deserve.

Here’s the bottom line: our city is overwhelmed with stray cats and a shrinking pool of qualified adopters. By relocating cats from Philadelphia to higher demand areas, we are not only easing the burden on local shelters and helping our trapping partners, but also increasing the likelihood of each cat being adopted quickly into a loving family.
