I'd like to give an official welcome and update on our recent surrender of seven ladies: Shadow (slide 1), Emily (2), Shea (3), Dottie (4), Charlie (5), and of course Niffty (6) and Mimzy (7).

Niffty had her mass removal a week and a half ago, and she has her post op recheck at the end of the week.

Mimzy is doing well on her meds, and she has surgery scheduled a week from Wednesday to remove her damaged incisor. She has gotten much easier to handle now that her pain is well controlled, which is wonderful to see.

Shadow had an initial vet appt on Saturday. She has been squabbling with the other girls since their arrival and gotten a couple small wounds. Her abdomen also felt a little distended and tender, so we suspect she may have some hormonal issues stemming from reproductive disease. She started some antibiotics and meloxicam has a recheck at the end of this week, after which she'll be scheduled for her spay.

Emily, Shea, Dottie, and Charlie are all doing well, and their spays will be scheduled as time and funds allow. This rescue has been a huge undertaking for our small team. We are thrilled to announce that we met our donation match goal, which helps a lot with these girls' initial care, but we will still need your support as we work through their ongoing needs.

Introducing Princess Brian!

A couple weeks ago, someone reached out to us about a post in a community group about a rat hanging out in someone's yard. He had been around for about a week, and she was looking for help capturing him. We had our live traps deployed that evening.

Over the next ten days, we caught a number of things that were not him - multiple birds, plus an adult roof rat - while he avoided the traps. Eventually, he moved on to a neighboring yard, and we were worried we were out of luck. But Sunday morning we got the alert from the resident that we had finally caught him.

When we picked him up, he was beyond terrified. As we opened the trap to let him into the cage, he was charging and biting frantically at the trap where our hands were near. Once in the cage, he found his way into a hammock where he feels much more sheltered. He appears to be a younger guy, maybe 4 months old. We're giving him time and space (and delicious snacks) and hoping he comes around. He's reminding me a lot of Page when she first arrived after spending more than half her young life fending for herself outside.

✨We are always in need of funds✨
