COURTESY POST!!!

We have another senior cat that is in need of a home: when we posted Dori, everyone rallied and found her a home. Now we have another one that urgently needs a home:
This is what we received

Meet Taki!!
His dad just passed away at 95.
He’s about 12 or 13. He’s been on his own in the apartment for a couple of months while his dad had been in hospital. He’s been fed and litter box cleaned, but that’s about all. He’s depressed of course.
He’s not a cuddly cat, he’s sometimes timid and hides but loves attention when he comes to you. He’s been an only cat all his life and indoor only. We are working on getting more info on him, but time is of the essence as no family member wants to take him 😭
We are saying right now, no children or other animals. Do you know of anyone who can give Taki a window to lay in? Maybe it is you? Then send us a message and we will connect you to the family

Shoutout to the amazing Killingly High Transition students!

Every Monday and Thursday morning, these hardworking students roll up their sleeves to keep our cats’ cages spotless—and they shower our furry friends with love while they’re at it!

We’re thrilled to provide these students with hands-on opportunities to practice valuable job skills, and they absolutely knock it out of the park every week.

A huge thank you to Madison, Nathaniel, Kylie, Dakota, and Mrs. Higgins for your dedication and care.

We appreciate all that you do!

COURTESY POST!!

We need everyone's help with this sweet girl!! Meet Dory!! She is in need of a new forever home. Here is her story:

Dory lived with her pet parent until last month when she sadly passed away. Dory is 8 yrs old and up to date on all vaccines. Her pet parent took her to Brooklyn Vet. Dory does have eye issues and this is what the family says: Spoke BVH March 20, 2025 and according to records from August 28, 2024 her eye exam states Iris thickening, light sensitive. No official diagnosis of Dory being blind
Even with this issue
She is a calico with a love for attention, treats and Fancy Feast Pate cat food. She loves her cardboard scratch pads. She does have a hairball issue at times due to her long coat.
Right now Dory is living in her home and the family comes over every day to care for her. The family think she'd be best with older people, no young children and possibly an only cat.
If you think you might be able to give this sweet girl the home she needs, please message us and we will send your info to the family. If not, please share. We need to find Dory a home!!

Forever Family: Lakota and Apache

One of our fosters received this message

“Today we are five!!! ❤️🎈❤️🎈

The foster mom shares:
“These two extremely handsome boys are Apache and Lakota. They were part of my five little Indians family from Momma Mohawk, (who by the way was the meanest feral I have ever taken in during my rescue career). Momma Mohawk is the queen of the barn where she lives and keeps all the other cats in line.

Without rescue, these two could’ve had a very hard life. Instead, they were taken in by a retired vet and his outgoing, amazing wife.”

Their adopter shares-
“The work that you and the volunteers do is so important and so generously kind and compassionate. The world needs people like you to restore our faith in humanity, and to give all creatures a chance that all living beings deserve. Your work is valuable to the animals, and also to the people who love them. We wouldn’t have these two love bug coconuts if it weren’t for you. Having the opportunity to love these two is a high point in my life.”

Happy 5th Birthday to Apache and Lakota!
These two went from a rough start to living their best lives, thanks to the dedication of our fosters and adopters. Stories like this remind us why rescue work matters.

Courtesy post!
We have an urgent situation we need help with! Meet Goose and Rocket Launcher. They are about 1 yr old and due to living conditions drastically changing they are in need of a new home. They are good with other cats and children but unsure of dogs. They are bonded and must go together. They are not fixed, but we have someone who will sponsor their neuter and vaccines. We are not able to take but we fully understand the urgency for these two boys which is why we are asking for help. They are indoor only!! If you think you can help, please message our page. We have a tentative appointment for them to be neutered but they need a home first
