UPDATE ON TIGS, STRUCK BY A CAR IN OTTER TAIL:

It is with a very heavy heart we share that we had to help this boy cross the Rainbow Bridge.

It broke our heart to make the hard decision for him, however it was the kindest action for him and for us, it never, ever gets any easier to do that.

We truly did our best to save him. There was no hope of his surviving his catastrophic internal injuries and recognizing he was actively dying.

We held him the entire time at the Emergency Animal Hospital and gave him so much love and head kisses in his last hours of his harsh life living as a dumped stray at a mobile home park in Ottertail.

He went peacefully in my arms.
😪🐈😿

We want to sincerely thank Dr. Hoyt and the amazing caring staff at Red River Emergency Animal Hospital in Fargo. They truly are one of the best clinics we ever been to.

My rescue also wants to express our deepest gratitude to the many people who helped him and reached out taking time from their holiday to rescue him from the roadway after being struck, the incredible people who cared so much about him and his medical status. The many amazing people who jumped right in sending donations on his behalf to help offset the medical expenses and all who sent many kind words and prayers for him.

It warms our heart to see so many people concerned for Tigs and provide help for him.

Our motto is: It takes a Village! Our rescue could never do what we do without our amazing supporters and donors.

We want to give a huge thank you Lacey, Cindy who rescued him and to Michael Hallisey for going over and
transporting him to us so we could rush Tigs in.

It's a beautiful reminder that there are so many people who do deeply care and want to help the thousands of discarded, lost and feral cats who often only knew cruelty and bad humans who abused, harmed, disposed of, or injured them that we see everyday in rescue.

It can be so heart wrenching like Tigs situation and seeing so much bad out there, we in rescue can often lose sight of all the good.

TIGS LAST MESSAGE TO ALL:
We were very comforted by this photo below as we left Fargo back to Otter Tail county.

This rainbow appeared right away. In our world, signs are messages and are everywhere correlating with event/loss, etc.

We truly saw this as his (Tigs) saying he was okay and likely even a thank you for all everyone did for him in his last hours.🌈

Run free Tigs. 🐈💙

**UPDATE**
We are just heartbroken.

Charlie tested positive for distemper and slid so far down the slope in 24 hours, his chances were so slim and he was showing neurological symptoms indicative of Distemper.

To have put him thru supportive care and his being as far down the slope as he was wouldn't have been the kind thing to do.

Charlie was humanely let go to The Rainbow Bridge, in my arms.

He at least knew love, warmth and human kindness for 48 hours.

I held Charlie in my arms the entire 7 hours we were there and while I said good bye, snug in my arms being loved and having a shower of kisses for a few hours at the animal hospital.

I am so grateful he wasn't left to die an awful death at that trailer park.

He is at peace now and out of pain and passed in my arms.

Now my rescue has 50 + cats there to try and save. 😪😪

This never, ever gets easier. Each one we make this kind of decision for is so hard and so heartbreaking. 💔💔

Our bill was almost $600, if anyone would like to help offset that so we can help the other many, many cats there, we would be deeply grateful.

Info for Venmo and PP in comments.

Thank you all for your amazing support! 💙❤🐈‍⬛🐈💙❤
______________
Prayers for little Charlie please.

While trying to trap the badly injured Tortie at a trailer park, this little guy came home with me 48 hours ago. He is about 3 months old.

This morning it was clear Charlie was declining and fast.

He since has been very lethargic, vomiting, not eating or drinking, very dehydrated and anemic.

We've been at Companion Animal Hospital since early morning.

We will update as soon as we have some answers as to what is going on with this little one. 💙🐈‍⬛💙🐈‍⬛

03/29/2026

***UPDATE***
Kitty showed up at 10:25 p.m. and didn't go in the trap.

Bringing a Fox trap, given her injuries, she may not be able to go inside easily with a regular trap. We also now have a net on hand.🐈

We aren't giving up until we safely get her.❤

!!URGENT HELP FOR BADLY INJURED CAT NEEDED!!

We have an emergency situation in Perham, MN with a very badly injured cat who can barely walk, lost part of her tail and her ears to frostbite and possibly her right front paw. And that's only what we know of.

We are heading to where she eats at times and setting up a trap, cams on site and hope we can get her ASAP.

This is a critical situation and as soon as she is trapped, we will rush her to Red River Animal Emergency in Fargo and are very likely going to need a good amount of funds to help her.

We haven't seen something quite this serious in sometime and our goal is to help her immediately. She very likely is not spayed either and to have her get pregnant would be very likely catastrophic for her.

Time really is of the essence here.

Please consider helping her.

Our Venmo link:https://www.venmo.com/u/Warmth4Ferals

PayPal link is: https://www.paypal.me/LGates520

Once we get her to Red River, donations can be called in directly and will post updates as we can.

🚨WARNING🚨

!!Cuteness overload alert!!

Two of our rescues, Ollie and JillyBean getting their morning snuggles in. They are soooo sweet and bonded now.

These two are up for adoption together. Ollie (7 mo) is fully vetted and chipped, Jillibean (5 mo) will be spayed in April, fully vetted and chipped❤🐈‍⬛🐈💙

03/23/2026

!UPDATE!

BoBo continues to evade being trapped. He appears to be traveling between our feeding station and another one, 3 miles away. How he is making that kind of trek in his condition is a mystery. He has to cross a busy road as well.😪 We are trying very hard to get him and won't give up.

🐈‍⬛🚙HELP🚗🐈

BOBO / WE URGENTLY NEED TRANSPORT HELP FROM BATTLE LAKE/FERGUS FALLS/ALEXANDRIA AREA to the cities or to Faribault for BoBo, an injured feral on Tuesday.

I can meet up in Alex or a bit further down. If we need to find transport from the cities to Faribault we can do that as long as we have enough time to arrange that.

We will provide gas money if needed.

Off of the 94 corridor.

Please DM us if you may be able to help.

💙Thank you!❤

MORE STRAYS/FOUND CATS in FERGUS FALLS MN:
I am so sad to say yet another injured cat has shown up at one of the feeding stations at a mobile home park in FF.

He has a pronounced limp, injuries on head and face, and of course it looks like one eye is infected...from an injury? He looks to be in rough shape.

I'll be contacting the FFPD along with other agencies, this is enough animal abuse and torture at that park. I'll also be putting park manager and owners on notice.

It is time all park owners are held accountable nd take responsibility for their tenants who are irresponsible owners, dump them and causing stray and feral cats/colonies.

It is time a program at each park is put into place to help stop this ( Warmth4Ferals). We've developed a great program that is inexpensive and pet owners absorb the small fee to cover registration and materials and we will even over see putting it into place.

My rescue (no rescue) can keep absorbing these high vet costs because of bad humans and these cats have got to get in safe and vetted. They don't deserve lousy human harming and/or dumping.😪

Please, be reminded there is a leash law in FF that requires all animals be supervised and on a leash if they are out doors. In other words, cats are to be indoors only.

When we started this project at this park over a year ago, there were 39 cats, all of which were safely trapped and if friendly they were all fully vetted and chipped, adopted to new homes, but under very strict conditions and screening, if feral they went to Furball Farms Cat Sanctuary in Faribault, or are in foster homes being socialized) or awaiting adoption.

This doesn't include the 1 to 3 that keep showing up nearly every week. In all this time, only 1 cat was ever claimed, despite high exposure of posting and Found posters meaning they were purposely discarded, which also is illegal.

Every week there is another injured cat coming around, a few catastrophically requiring amputations, eye removals, surgery and stitches from badly infected wounds, of course none are altered or likely ever even vetted. These are NOT coincidences.

Do you know these either of these two intact males? Might one of them be yours, a friends or neighbors.

If so please send me a confidential DM, rewards will be given for good information.

Please folks, let's do better and help these animals who have no choice in what is done to them. Stand up for them and be their voice.❤🐈‍⬛🐈💙
