The Lucky Cat

06/13/2024

*EMERGENCY SITUATION* 🙀🙀🙀
Help! A hoarder in a tiny 1 bedroom apartment in Turtle Creek was recently evicted and left behind 19 cats! 🙀 Jessi from The Lucky Cat and Misty from Fur All Kittys rushed over to catch all of these kitties before they were thrown outside. The apartment was absolutely deplorable, full of rotten food and garbage and everything was saturated with cat urine and f***s. There were thousands of flies and the smell was unreal. The kitties are full of fleas and their skin is a mess from scratching. Please help in any way you can! There are 2 adult males, a few small kittens, and then most of them are probably five or six months old.

We are in desperate need of foster homes and placement for the kitties! We also need food, litter, supplies, and donations for the cost of vetting. We can make space for some of them but we already have 15 kitties looking for homes and Misty has no space at the moment. Please if any rescues can make room for 1 or 2 or if anyone wants to foster a couple, let me know! So far 2 are able to go to White Oak Safe Haven 😺

Pretty Lady is now 19 years old and I'm afraid I don't have much time left with her. She loves Fancy Feast chicken pate, either for kittens or seniors. That's all she will eat and lately she hasn't been eating as much. She used to eat a little bit of dry food, especially if I mix in some tuna. She doesn't always get up to use the litter box and needs bathed once every week or 2.

If anyone wants to donate a case of food, she would be so happy because it seems to be the only thing she's interested in 🥺

Our good friends who adopted 2 cats from us awhile ago wanted to adopt one of the kittens. Well the kitten got to meet his new family today and Max was so happy he started crying 🥹🥹🥹

10/27/2023

Update: his ears are infected and the wounds seem to be hot spots from him scratching so much. So he got lots of good meds and is going to get some cage rest. He did need sedated because he was really scared but he let me pet him a few times before and after he was knocked out 😻

We're waiting to be seen and he's actually really calm and friendly, so hopefully they can fix him up quickly 😺

Hey everyone, we need some help! Last weekend, we took 7 sick kittens to the vet who all had a URI. Then on Sunday, we were asked to help with an 8th kitten which unfortunately had to be euthanized. We also just had 12 cats and kittens spayed and neutered so they're ready to be adopted. This is over $1800 in vet bills and we're also in need of cat food and litter. Help! 🙀

I meant to post this days ago but this week has been absolutely crazy. It's time for Steel City Con !

This weekend, special guest celebrity Little Lord Beerus will be doing photo ops for a $5 donation and signing pawtographs for a $10 donation. All of our proceeds directly benefit the rescue cats, but we would like to do something special for our dear friend Amber Beaman who passed away last weekend. We're going to give half of our donations to her family to put towards her leftover medical bills and funeral expenses. So come out to the con make sure you stop by our booth in row i ☺️

We also rescued a gorgeous senior whose original owner threw her outside where kids were kicking her. A neighbor tried to adopt her but was severely allergic. They said she's at least 18! I made sure she's super snuggly and warm since she seems to have a bit of arthritis and doesn't walk very well. She loves pets and her name is now Pretty Girl. She needs a combo test so she can join the rest of the kitties.

I made our little porch cat come inside on Thursday so she wasn't outside when the temperature dropped yesterday. She seems to be enjoying being inside now where it's warm and toasty 😻

Look at these bad boys, Buddy and Marbles helping themselves to the treats they knocked over! They are on the naughty list for sure 😸

Here's our boy Buddy getting his weekly bath. He is incontinent and won't let me put diapers on him so he's in a big cage with p*e pads that I change daily and I let him out when I'm home. I just make sure he has a pad under him. He is a little stinky but I don't know what else to do 😿

We are in serious need of Purina Naturals Kitten Chow, Purina Naturals Cat Chow, and Tidy Cats Unscented Litter. Of course most of the kitties love any type of canned food. We are also raising money for Terramycin, Drontal, kitten milk replacement and other random supplies like paper towels and garbage bags.

There are several ways to help:

You can donate through paypal (set to friends and family): https://www.paypal.me/theluckycatrescue

Venmo: -Lucky-Cat

Cash app: $LuckyCatRescue

You can volunteer and help us take care of and cuddle with kitties here

You can become a foster and help us care for our kitties in your home

Or most importantly, you can come visit the kitties and adopt a new best friend! 😺

Update on Buddy: he's scheduled for surgery on Dec 2nd and we've only raised about $175 outside of the fundraiser, so we are still in desperate need of donations so he can have his tail amputated and get everything else he needs.

You can also donate through paypal:

These options are faster than the fundraiser. Or if you want to call a donation directly into the vet's office, message me.

Buddy says thanks!!

For every one bag of food or bucket of litter donated, Chewy will send 2! The kitties are very excited about this because they think it means they'll get twice as much food at a time 😸

I know, I know, I really need to update this page more often! This weekend we'll be at the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo (PGX) (not with kitties this time) but you can still support the kitties by buying some cool video game related stuff! Thanks to the Mega Reptile Show last weekend, we got 4 kittens adopted out as well as BB8 and April the week before!

We got some bad news today about our older boy who we've named Nosferatu because of his adorable vampire teeth. His upper respiratory infection seems to have finally gone away after being on 3 different antibiotics, but he's been losing weight. He was combo tested today and is positive for FIV. So he'll be going back to the vet as soon as possible for bloodwork to see if there's anything else we can do for him to make him comfortable. He really is the sweetest boy and no one has come forward to claim him or seems to be looking for him.
