A little over 3 weeks ago we posted about the biggest biscuit makin girl, Khaleesi.

A few short days later we noticed she has thrown up a few times. This was no cause for concern as she still had her appetite and she was acting completely normal. Then very quickly she started vomiting frequently, she had seemingly lost weight and stopped eating. We started syringe feeding her, giving fluids, calorie gel, appetite stimulant, anti nausea medication, and antibiotics but nothing was working.

During this time she was seen by our veterinarian and we ran many tests. We were thinking Pancreatitis with possible fatty liver disease (which can cause liver failure). We were to keep syringe feeding her and if her appetite didn’t pick up in a few days, it would be time for a feeding tube.

Although she had stopped vomiting, it was abundantly clear Khaleesi was very sick. Her face started to look sunken in, she had lost a ton of weight, she hardly moved, was completely pale, and the worst of all .. wouldn’t make any biscuits. This sounds a little silly, but it was extremely out of character for Khaleesi.

Recently Khaleesi got her feeding tube. She is on a strict prescribed critical nutrition food that we blend up with water and feed her throughout the day. She’s on 4 other types of medication as well.

She was seen again by the vet and we had an ultrasound specialist come in. Her bloodwork had slightly improved, which was good news. The ultrasound showed that she has an enlarged liver surrounded with fluid, her intestines are inflamed, and her lymph nodes are enlarged. At this moment, we’re unsure what is causing this. We think this is some kind of virus but can’t be sure for right now. All we do know is that we will do anything it takes to get our girl the care she needs.

We’re happy to say she has started making biscuits again🥳 She will get up and walk a few steps around. The most amazing thing is when you’re tube feeding her she sits right in front of you and just lovingly stares into your eyes like she is so appreciative. She also purrs the entire time and we kind of think she knows we are helping her. Khaleesi is truly one of a kind🤍🐉

Every once in a while, we get a special visitor at the lounge! Meet Rayna🤍 She is a staff owned husky that is obsessed with kitties. She’s gentle, kind, and curious but extremely respectful. You might hear a howl or two from her but you’ll definitely see the hair😂 Although Rayna stays behind the desk when she’s visiting, at the end of the day she does walk around on her leash to help us identify which kitties could potentially be adopted to a home with a dog! We NEVER push any boundaries with our cats. They do love looking at her through the glass! So far we have ruled out a few, and have some confused thoughts about others! So on your next visit to the lounge, you might be surprised to find a husky🐾🐺

Our sweetest Disco!🪩

Although she doesn’t dance, she would love a partner! Disco is incredibly affectionate. She has raised her litter and is absolutely done sharing the attention with other kitties😹 She wants her new person to be all hers. She has her own spot at the lounge right when you walk in! Disco can’t wait to meet you!

Update on our baby, Stevie Wonder! Stevie has got the all clear from our wonderful veterinarian and he is ready to find his new home! He is in his own private kitten nursery room, where he will be happy to get some love if you’d like to visit him. It has been night and day watching Stevie go from completely down and in pain, where he didn’t move at all to this sweet outgoing boy. He still is getting used to his new environment but every day he is discovering more and enjoying the sun☀️Come meet Stevie at the lounge!

Which is your favorite?

Sadly, we see cats and kittens covered in fleas very often. Without immediate and proper care, fleas can become very dangerous for kittens and cats of any age. Flea anemia is a huge problem for kitties living on the streets and it can become deadly. Also, when there are fleas, there is almost always tape worm. Thankfully, we got this litter before a total infestation could occur. Still, they were covered so it’s important for us to jump in immediately. We did everything they needed and then some! Itch no more babies🤍

05/07/2024

Had a lunch date with our kitties at the lounge yesterday🤍 Naturally, everyone tried to eat our food, and bite our straws!

05/05/2024

Ever just need a nap immediately? 😹
Oh, to be a kitten at the lounge!

Is anyone hungry for some steak??
In order - Tenderloin, Flank, T-Bone, and Filet Mignon!

All steaks were born to a stray momma cat. After mom was spayed, babies came in! They came down with a cold immediately, so they’re not available for adoption quite yet. Hopefully soon🤍

Look what was delivered today🤍
Mama Cake and her sweet treat babies! There are 5 new born kittens in this litter. Mama was abandoned by her owners when they moved a few months ago. THANKFULLY, their neighbors took notice and started feeding her. They reached out to us for help and we were planning on taking her in, then surprise!!! She gave birth to her litter on Sunday. We immediately started coordinating to get them in asap. Momma and babies are doing great and have settled into their foster home.

We will update as they continue to grow and learn how to cat!

Please, please, spread the word about spaying and neutering your cats. Although we are happy to have them now, this pregnancy could have been 100% preventable. Cake had no microchip or signs of ownership and was left outside to fend for herself. Had she not been rescued, she would have had litter after litter after litter. Kittens of just 4 months of age can become pregnant, and they reproduce exponentially. If you or someone you know need help with a spay or neuter, please dm is for resources. We’re here to help🤍

Hello Everyone, We’re so incredibly happy to introduce you to our sweet baby, Stevie Wonder😎.

As you can all see (he cannot🤣), Stevie had to have his eyes removed. But let’s back up for a moment..

We were made aware by a good samaritan that someone had found Stevie on the street immobilized. Thankfully they reached out and down the line, we were contacted. We took one look at the boy and instantly knew we had to step in.

We quickly found a cat uber for him to hitch a ride to us so we could urgently get him to our vet.

When he arrived, he was terrified (of course), couldn’t open his eyes and was all bones. He was so skinny, we could see and feel every bone in his body. He didn’t have much of an appetite and he NEVER moved. We were very worried.

After his first vet appt, we found out he has eyeballs! He has something called Microphthalmia, which is a complicated version of saying his eyes are too small / possibly under developed. He would need them removed. We honestly thought he had no eyes before his appointment. You could not tell at all! He needed a lot of different types of medication and a few weeks before he would be able to go under anesthesia for surgery.

The last photo is of his testicles (top) and his eyeballs (bottom).

After the first few days after surgery. Stevie started wandering around, his appetite kicked up and he is curious about everything! You can see the difference in his face. He has gained weight and enjoys chin scratches.

Thank you to all who have donated wet food to us these last couple of weeks. The Tiki Cat Silver on our wishlist is specifically for Stevie!

We will update you all as Stevie continues to get better!

We got some more amazing kittens in! They’re not currently available for adoption as they are under medical treatment just like our grey group of 10! We’re hoping they will be ready soon but keep an eye on the website for all of our adoptable cats and kittens🤍

04/20/2024

We have a new batch of 10 kittens! They are extremely skinny and underweight. Sadly, they stopped eating over the last couple days. We’re giving them all the support we can as their medications take effect. We think they have a bad case of intestinal parasites. We’re going to go through our supply of baby food and high quality wet food pretty quickly with a litter this size. If you’d like to donate some, they’re on our amazon wishlist! You can get there by clicking on the link in our bio or by going to our website and clicking the “Donate” tab! We will keep you all updated on their progress!🤍

We got a group of Tea’s in the lounge! Matcha, Oolong, Early Grey & Yerba☕️🐸

The first 3 photos were easy enough to get, these two are Yerba and Early Grey. The epic fail of photos after that are of Matcha and Oolong was sleeping peacefully all day with no plans of getting up😹

We can’t tell you how lucky we were to have Equator for the few days she was at the lounge! She got endless belly rubs and was adopted just 2 days after arriving🧡

Equator was found in junkyard at about 6 months old and she was also pregnant. Thankfully the kind woman who found her took her home to live and raise the babies on a patio. Sadly, when the finder was in the hospital for months, Equator was wandering the streets. Yet again, some kind people found her and started to feed her! Equator was so sweet they knew they had to find a home for her, which is where we come in!

We will miss giving her belly rubs and all the love she spread but are so thankful to the amazing women who gave her a chance!🤍

Meet our new litter of 5 plus their beautiful momma. Though they are adorable, not many know the work that goes into making sure each kitty is goes into getting cats and kittens ready for adoption. Beyond finding a way to get them to us from Narco, CA, they are covered in fleas and most have eye infections with zero vaccines or medical care. The fleas in that bowl came from one tiny kitten! Sadly, we see this all too often. We are so thankful to have this opportunity to help them. We couldn’t have done it without community support! We would appreciate any donations for this litter as we get them all fixed up!

Attention cat lovers🚨
Do you love kittens? Do you have open space in your home? Do you spend most of your time at home? Do you have experience fostering kittens? Would you like to help us out during kitten season?

If you said yes to any of these questions, we’d love to talk to you! Kitten season is fast approaching (already here) and we’re looking for fosters that can take underage kittens for 1-2 months

!We would prefer if you already have foster experience, but it’s not mandatory!

If you’re interested, please email! [email protected]

We couldn’t do what we do without all of you!

Another bonded pair adopted in the books!

Shirley and Temple are a mother - daughter duo🤍 They came in with a much younger group of kittens that shirley also mothered. Shirley was incredibly skinny and malnourished trying to feed 5 babies. Temple was very nervous and could hardly be touched. On top of this, Shirley’s young litter were horrible horribly ill. We thought we were going to lose many of them, but thankfully with lots of medications and love, they made a turn around. All of her young litter have been adopted!

Shirley couldn’t do anything without Temple right by her side. They slept together, played together (Shirley loved to punch Temple 😹) and they’d eat at the bowl together. We’re so thankful and happy we’re able to keep them together for the rest of their amazing lives💘

03/24/2024

McLaren is all set and ready for her new home! As much as she loves the lounge and all the attention she is getting, she can’t wait to be with her new human. McLaren loves to greet you at the door and follow you around. We’ve tripped on her several times already😹 We love this girl so much and know you would too🤍

03/22/2024

We’re so confused how Holden is still available for adoption! He has been with us for a few weeks now and is nothing but a sweetie pie, not to mention he’s gorgeous AND IS POLYDACTYL! Come meet Holden and his friends🤍

03/19/2024

Another bonded pair adopted☑️🤍

Aylin and Isobel were one of the strongest bonded kitties we have seen in a long time! The only thing they didn’t do was snuggle when they slept (which is a little strange for such a close pair). But they ate together, played only with each other, bullied other cats together, watched out the window together, would snuggle humans together and dang did we love them. They took longer than normal for our teenage (5-11 months) kitties to be adopted, but we wouldn’t even unbond a duo like this just for adoption timing. We can’t wait for the follow ups of them side by side as they grow🤍
