๐ŸŽƒ HAPPY HALLOWEEN! ๐ŸŽƒ In the spirit of the season, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate some of our favorite felines: black cats! Often associated with magic, witches, and mysticism, black cats have gotten a bad rap over the years, sometimes seen as unlucky or mischievous - when in reality, they're perfectly lovable! We're here to dispel these rumors and let you know that black cats are great. In fact, here's five reasons why you should consider adopting a black cat this Halloween:

โ„๏ธ Black cats never get lost in the snow
โ˜˜๏ธ They actually bring you good luck, not bad
๐Ÿ  Black cats match any decor or furniture
๐Ÿ‘— Holding a black cat is very slimming
๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ› No lint brushes needed for black tie events!

Are you suffering from an outbreak of rodents? ๐Ÿ€ Do you keep finding critters messing with your crops? Do you like cats? ๐Ÿ‘€ Introducing the perfect kitty for you to meet: Estrella โœจ

A lovely 3-year-old kitty who yearns for a more fulfilling life of chasing mice and roaming free, Estrella is one of our current Working Cats at ASAP! Categorized as NOC, or "No Other Cats," Estrella isn't a huge fan of other cats -- but what she lacks in feline friendliness she makes up for in hunting finesse!

Estrella is a tortoiseshell with beautiful markings, and has been making great progress with our behavior team! She values her space and independence, but she does enjoy being in the company of humans. Just be sure to only give her pets when she requests them, and plenty of treats! In turn, she'll be sure to keep your land clear of critters and pests! ๐Ÿ˜ป

Ready to meet this super star? Fill out a Working Cats application and we'll be in touch: https://www.shelterluv.com/form/other/ASAP/1945-working-cats-application (or click the link in our bio!) โญ

09/12/2024

ASAP Cats is proud to serve the cats and cat families of Santa Barbara County, whether it's helping cats get adopted or reuniting lost pets with their families โ€” but today, we're reaching out for help. 4-year-old Grimm, a special little Norwegian Forest Cat in our care, is facing a very serious surgery.

After initially being surrendered to ASAP Cats, Grimm was brought to Cat Therapy due to his highly social attitude. While staying at Cat Therapy, staff noticed he had blood in his urine. We took some x-rays and noticed a stone in his bladder, so we put him on a special diet to try dissolving the stone. Either he could pass it, or it could be easier to remove.

Our team performed a cystotomy at ASAP to try removing the stone from his bladder, but the stone appeared to be embedded in his bladder wall and out of our reach. More stones were also recently discovered in his urethra, so his case has been escalated to a medical emergency, as he now requires a specialized surgery known as a perineal urethrostomy. Grimm additionally has a heart murmur, so extra care was already being taken with him โ€” but now his required surgeries to remove these stones will have an added risk.

The total cost of his set of surgeries is estimated to exceed $10,000. A high level of skill and care is required to save Grimm, but ASAP will do whatever it takes to help. We are asking our incredible community of supporters and cat lovers to give anything you can to help save Grimm's life.

Contributions to our Lester Fund go directly to funding extraordinary medical procedures such as these. To give, simply visit asapcats.org/donations/ and contribute to our Lester Fund.

Thank you for making a difference for Grimm ๐Ÿ–ค

Many feel the urge to assist when they see a cat outside, especially one that appears to be hungry. However, most outdoor-indoor cats are simply enjoying their daily routine. They often roam during the day and return home in the evening.

Disrupting a catโ€™s routine by taking them in could unintentionally separate them from their family. When well-meaning people mistake them for strays and bring them into shelters or homes, it reduces their chances of reuniting with their loved ones. In fact, only 2% of cats in shelters ever find their way home again.

Most free-roaming cats in your neighborhood have homes or caretakers and are not lost. Unless you know for certain that the cat has been abandoned, it likely lives in your community and doesnโ€™t need to be rescued. Please donโ€™t take a healthy adult cat to the shelter unless you know for certain it needs help.

Only step in if the cat is visibly sick or injured. Otherwise, remember that your neighborโ€™s cat has a home, and their is waiting for them to return.

Kitty Bruce is the cat's meow! He's a retired alley cat living with ASAP, looking for a new place to call home. He got picked on by other cats for being a bit of an oddball, but he's a total charmer.
