🎆Hello, 2026! The story we’re sharing today is the last of our Countdown to the Mew Year series, but the first of many heartwarming tales we look forward to bringing you this year.

🍼Bottle babies like Stuart and his siblings are incredibly fragile in their first weeks of life. Stuart’s mother developed mastitis and could no longer nurse her litter, so the three-week-olds were moved to foster care for round-the-clock feeding and care.

Despite overwhelming odds, the little guys are doing terrific! Learn more here: https://www.seattleareafelinerescue.org/countdown-to-the-mew-year-7-bob-kevin-and-stuart/

Thank you for joining us for our Countdown to the Mew Year. We can’t wait for all the inspiring moments waiting for us this year! 💗

🦴We’re sending off 2025 with the tale of Poe!

Eight-week-old Edna and Ellen were your typical kittens: rolling, playing, and getting up to all sorts of shenanigans. Their brother Poe desperately wanted to join them, but his broken leg held him back.

SAFe’s medical team took x-rays of Poe’s injury and found the exact place where the femur was fractured. A generous partner shelter performed his surgery for free, then Poe and his sisters went to foster care for his recovery (which included a form of feline physical therapy.)

Today, Poe not only walks–he climbs up and down stairs, hops on furniture, and plays like he always wanted!

🦷Today’s Countdown to the Mew Year story, Jasmine, reminds us that it’s never too late for a new beginning.

Nine-year-old Jasmine came to SAFe with excruciating dental pain, including a broken tooth. She wasn’t eating, spent her days tucked beneath a blanket, and only peeked out for the gentlest scritches. A medical exam revealed her situation was worse than we’d thought: the poor kitty was also suffering from ringworm and ear and eye infections.

After various treatments, dental surgery, and recovery in foster care, Jasmine revealed a new side of her: one that was confident and vibrant.

🎄Last week, Spiffy stayed up SO LONG trying to see , but she still missed him! (Spiffy tends to get distracted.)

Luckily, Chewy Claus still delivered lots of goodies for her and the other cats on SAFe's nice list...which is all of them, of course!!!

Better luck next year, Spiffy! In the meantime, we hope you and your furry friends enjoy this holiday bounty.

Thank you Chewy for checking off our kitties' wishlist!

As much as we enjoy seeing those pointy ears and curious whiskers, there's nothing we love more than an empty house! 🎉 Thank you and congratulations to the adopters who welcomed Rescue kitties into their families this past weekend. You've made the season brighter for cats in need. ❤️

💎Next on our list of Countdown to the Mew Year stories is Missi!

In January 2025, Missi was a foster kitty with Hidden Gem Cat Rescue. Back then, she didn’t trust humans, much less let them interact with her. Her foster family worked hard to show her that humans could be kind. A few months later, Missi had gone from hiding from people to snuggling in their arms. But she still hadn't found her home.

In October, Hidden Gem merged with SAFe Rescue, making Missi officially a SAFe kitty! Now, almost a year since going into foster care, Missi is in a wonderful home.

💊Day 3 of SAFe’s Countdown to the Mew Year is Gopher!

24 hours after Gopher came to SAFe, he was rushed into isolation for emergency care. A few days later, he was diagnosed with FIP: Feline Infectious Peritonitis.

FIP was once considered fatal, but recently, a new, accessible treatment has entered the market. Thanks to the support of our donors, the SAFe team was able to start Gopher on this treatment immediately. The results were night and day.
