Rita's House of Rescues

07/08/2025

These are the kittens born at the warehouse. They are not gaining weight at the rate we would like to see. The warehouse employees were willing to let us set up a kennel in a back room since there was no place to put her at the time. We appreciate any willingness to be a part of fostering. We don't like to move a feral mom and babies once they're set up, especially since it took her 2 days to settle and start eating 😟

They are being fed by the employees and picking up supplies from me for capstar flea treatment which we already had to repeat and eye wash for crusty eyes. Minimal exposure due to a stressed mom just wanting back outside. Unfortunately one kitten drowned in the bowl of water so there's 3 kittens. Mom will be pulled Sunday for her spay day! ANY RESCUE WILLING TO TAKE THE KITTENS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW 🙏
They are now eating wet food in addition to nursing off mom.

Yucks 🤮 aren't these poisonous to cats? Not sure why it would come onto the catio but it's way out in the corner of the yard now! Hopefully it doesn't come back 😬

I want to do a flash back just for a one week span.
8 new emergency intakes
5 spay/neuter plus vaccines (post-op)
2 appointments for x-rays at Plummer Pet Hospital (Gouda and Captain Floof)
2 vet bills shown that didn't include $100 deposit on receipt.
*** I greatly appreciate everyone's help and support but we desperately need additional donors! Please invite family and friends to join in on our mission for the overpopulation of strays!
My phone broke yesterday so I'm still retrieving data so thank you to everyone that has recently donated supplies and food!!
This Sunday I'll be taking the warehouse kittens since no other rescue has offered, but that's for a different post. Any and all help is greatly appreciated 👏 💐 $2-$3 ?? How many can we get??

This little family is safe and headed for a happier life and none of these will ever reproduce! Mom got her spay day and leg amputation by Kristy Bush. I have the babies pictures placed as now and then ☺ The last one didn't get a before picture because nobody knew she even existed 🙃 😒 If she hadn't come out after her mom was taken for her surgery, nobody would have ever known. Stray life is hard and there's nowhere near enough outlets for saving their lives! Please support our efforts in ending the crisis of overpopulation!

😺 little hissy girl loves me now! I honestly thought she would take longer since she was so defensive. I guess she never came out from under the house to play with her siblings that I took in from Kristy Bush. Their mom had half her leg cut off on a fence and this baby looks just like her.

The feeder had never seen this kitten until mom was trapped and kittens were brought to me. I guess she got hungry when her mom and siblings disappeared 😕

Mom was spay and leg amputated... babies are reunited and growing to reach their 2lbs here with me! Great job Kristy for going back for this clueless baby.

UPDATE on previously adopted Sushi! She's doing great at her new home but adapts very well to new surroundings and people ❣ She's getting all the love she deserves ❤

Kristy Bush there's progress lol... no flipping over with teeth and claws in the air! She's not spitting and growling much at all now but every once in a while. This poor baby was terrified and angry all at the same time!

Captain Floof is going to see Dr Plummer today to get that abdominal abscess checked and the hind legs that keep curling up under him.
