✨Foster Friday✨

9 of our little bottle babies have graduated and heading off to foster homes! Having fosters that can take on fully weaned kittens opens up our 1 bottle baby foster to take on more bottle babies.

While it is extremely rewarding to bottle raise kittens it is a large time commitment as they need to be bottle fed every few hours depending on their age and also need to be stimulated to potty since they can't do it on their own.

The more fosters we have the more kittens we can save! If you have a spare room, a bathroom, or enough space for a cat cage we would be more than happy to have you sign up to be a foster parent!

If you or someone you know would like to foster please sign up on our website:

As we start to reach the hight of kitten season there is a very special message we would like to share with you all.

Cats as young as 4 months old are able to get pregnant. It does not matter if it is by their sibling or their parent.
They. Will. Not. Care.
Please get you kitties in to get fixed before this. If you are in a financial restraint or otherwise can not get your cat fixed please reach out! There are programs to help.

Like our Last Litter Program!
We get mom and dad fixed and returned to you while we keep the kittens to get fixed, microchipped, vaccinated, and all other medical needs addressed before finding them forever homes!

!ADOPTION EVENT!
Sunday, June 9th, 11AM - 3PM! Come see us and all of our adorable kittens!
We are a small local rescue, based out of Bothell, however, we are completely Foster-Based! This means we have no facility, and all kitties are in foster homes, an adoption event is a great way to meet all of our available kitties!

Our adoption fees are as follows:
Kittens (Under 6 months): $200
Adolescent (6 months - 1 year): $150
Adult (Over 1 year): $100

If you have any questions please feel free to message us on FB messenger or send us an email at [email protected]

Note: We do not adopt out singular kittens under six months old if you do not have another kitty in the home! This is to prevent single kitten syndrome, leading to bad behaviors and often kitties ending up back in shelters.

Happy Formal Friday! You're never too young to be dapper, as 2-month-old Hades already knows! This little tuxie visited us for his snip this week, along with siblings Calypso and Athena, from Hidden Gem Cat Rescue, a foster-based organization in Bothell, WA. Could he be any more charming?

✨✨Foster Friday✨✨

Our brave Merida has been doing amazing in her foster home!

She has been steadily gaining weight and will soon enough be close to the 2lb mark that we have been waiting for her to be re-evaluated by a vet to see if there is anything that needs to be done for her stump.

For those who are just joining Merida's journey. She came to Hidden Gem as a little bottle baby whose mom had rejected her. Unfortunately, before she was brought to the rescue we partner with, , her umbilical cord had wrapped around her little back foot and a large part was lost due to necrosis. She was seen and given antibiotics but due to how small she was they were unable to do much more for medical intervention. Merida's leg has healed nicely and she has been growing great!

Since she was so little when she lost it, Merida thankfully has the benefit of learning how to walk as a tripod!

If 𝙮𝙤𝙪 or anyone you know would be interested in making a difference in the lives of kittens like Merida please fill out our Foster form!
https://www.hiddengemcatrescue.org/fostering

If 𝙮𝙤𝙪 are unable to foster and would like to donate please follow the links on our Donation page!
https://www.hiddengemcatrescue.org/donate

If you have always wanted to start 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙟𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮 in the animal rescue world but don't know how, we are always looking for people to volunteer by taking pictures, making videos, organizing events, or helping to shape our future by joining our board of directors please take a look at our Volunteer page.
No experience is required!

As kitten season continues, Hidden Gem Cat Rescue has very quickly filled up with kitties!

Here at Hidden Gem, we are foster-based and do not have a facility to take on more cats than we do fosters. That is where 𝙔𝙊𝙐 come in!

Every day we are getting more and more requests to intake a variety of cats. From single adults looking for someplace to land before finding a home to live out their golden years, young pairs that are being displaced, mamma kitties that are looking for a safe place to raise their kittens, and little babies without moms who need someone to nurse them until they can feed themselves.

If you or someone you know has a spare bathroom, bedroom, office space, or space for a cat cage please consider signing up to be a foster! Even though a single bedroom or bathroom seems small, it is 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 bigger than a kennel where many shelter kitties live until they find their forever homes.

Fostering even just 1 time helps us to save HUNDREDS of little kitty lives.
𝙔𝙤𝙪 are the difference.

Please take a look at these two adorable kittens! We have no idea how they still haven't had any adoption applications come in for them!

Adzuki and Lima Bean are so sweet and fun loving babies that would bring so much life and joy to any family.

We do not adopt out single kittens under six months old if you don't have another kitty at home, this is to prevent single kitten syndrome!

Here is an update on a special little baby transferred to our rescue from Dave Buster Rescues (). Little Merida, is doing great! Her little back leg is healing well, given the state it started in. She was born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her foot and it had become infected. She went to Dave Buster Rescues 3 days after she was born before being transferred to us once she was a bit older so they could make space for even younger babies.

Look how well her little leg is doing and compare it to the previous images, the last image being the oldest, being taken by Dave Buster Rescues, showing the state it was in prior.

She will be a tripod kitty, and she may need surgery in the future to have the entire limb removed depending on how it affects her later on in life as partial limbs can result in pain and discomfort, we don't want that little nub hurting her! Only time will tell, but for now, she will get all the love we can give her.

Her brother Hamish (the little Siamese) is doing great as well!

✨ Kitty Spotlight ✨ Take Me Home! ✨

Adelaide is an incredibly sweet, cuddly, and playful cat. She loves to play with her favorite ribbon toy, and she never gets tired of chasing and pouncing on it. After a long play session, she likes to wind down with some pets while purring contentedly. Adelaide is very affectionate and loves to roll around on the floor, showing off her belly and asking for some rubs. She is also very smart and has a talent for finding the most comfortable and cozy spots to nap in. She is a creature of habit and always knows when it's time for food. Adelaide occasionally likes to cuddle, and she will often find a way to lean her head or body against yours, showing her love and affection. Overall, Adelaide is a delightful and charming cat who is sure to bring joy and happiness to anyone who is lucky enough to be around her.

She is a shy kitten and will need a few days to adjust to a new environment. We recommend a quiet home without other pets or children for her to thrive.

Bottle Baby Nacho getting quality mealtime from a WONDERFUL Foster we are so thankful for having on our team❤
Can you hear him nursing?

They are so little at this age and need so much care but it is so worth it!

It takes so many people to save kitties, from the finders, to in this case Dave Buster Rescues, () A wonderful individual in Yakima, working to save hundreds of neonatal babies each year. Once babies are a little older, they get transported to partnering rescues for the next part of their journey!

In Nacho's case (and his sibling Cheeto, and friend Hopper) they came to us, where they have their intakes completed and get raised in a loving Foster Home until they are big enough to be fixed, get their vaccines, etc. before being adopted into loving furever homes.

Please consider being a part of the solution and foster some kitties. This year is proving to be a hard one already, and we need our community to help save lives. We provide training on bottle feeding for tiny babies, and there is always a need for fostering older kittens and adult kitties as well.

We want to take a moment and thank everyone who participated in The Ghostbuster Fosters Boxathon and sent donations our way, as well as anyone who has sent monetary donations our way recently. We are going to be having a large amount of kitties start to trail in so that means a lot of mouths to feed and a lot of litter and medications being used!

We see each and every one of your names that come in on donations or in emails and it warms our hearts knowing you are out there and care about these fur babies🐾

Pictured is one of our newest intakes, both she and her sister just arrived to us from Tacoma. Her sister is battling very serious diarrhea and they are both unfortunately nauseous. They are super sweet and timid little kitties! They have soft little trill-meows and once they trust you a little, they will not want you to stop loving on them.

03/16/2024

It's getting into that time of year and we are seeing more and more pregnant kitties or momma's with babies! Please get them in BEFORE they reproduce, every shelter and rescue gets so overwhelmed, and many are still at capacity.

If you have recently had a litter of kittens or know someone who has, and you are unable to provide for them, please consider taking advantage of the Last-Litter Program. This program ensures that no more kittens will be born from the same cycle, preventing the possibility of someone else finding themselves in the same situation a few months down the road. By adopting out un-fixed kittens, it is possible that the new owners may not prioritize spay/neuter appointments, or may be unable to afford them, leading to more unwanted litters in the future.

A primary veterinarian may charge anywhere from $100 - $600 to spay your cat, and many low-cost spay/neuter clinics may have limited availability during kitten season.
If you are looking to make an appointment with your kitty, please plan ahead especially as we get into the warmer months!

What a wonderful update on a previous foster kitty.

"We adopted Ziggy (she came with the name Raven) at the end of January, hoping she’d be a good companion for our 5 year old orange cat Buster. They became fast friends, and now they spend hours snuggling and playing every day. 🥰 Thank you for your help finding the perfect match!

Sarah"

Thank you to all our amazing adopters. You make it possible for us to save more kitties in need.

We're a little slow getting posts out but we wanted to give a huge 'Thank You!' to Seattle Humane for the donations that will help many cats in foster. We expect food and litter to go very quickly this year. It is expected by many to be a worse year than last as there are still many places that are full of animals from last year, so we are incredibly grateful for these supplies as we face the oncoming wave of kitten season and the struggles that come with it.

Although we have a good amount of adult cat food at the moment, we are running low on flea medication (only two kitten doses left!) and we desperately need more.

If you would like to help either by donating in kind or by card please visit our website here:
https://www.hiddengemcatrescue.org/donate

Thank you to everyone who supports us and other rescues, it takes the entire community working together to protect these precious lives. ❤
