Get your claws done this July, and help us at the same time 💕💅

✨SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ✨

Today marks the beginning of July, and I am thrilled to finally share the exciting news I’ve been eager to reveal for weeks.

If you reside in Sweetwater, TN, or the surrounding areas, you might be familiar with the incredible work of Sweetwhisker Rescue!

This remarkable 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, based here in Sweetwater, is dedicated to rescuing cats from all over rural East Tennessee from abusive, endangering, and neglectful situations, and occasionally, even dogs ❤️

I’ve had the privilege of following this rescue for a while now, and I am constantly inspired by the selflessness displayed by its founder. She is an exceptional woman with a heart of gold, and her profound compassion for all animals is evident in every aspect of her tireless work for this community. A little over a month ago, I reached out to the rescue, expressing my desire to assist and demonstrate support. This rescue relies on donations and community aid, so I encourage anyone feeling compelled to contribute to this exceptional organization to consider doing so now ❤️

For the entire month of July, I’ll be donating the tips I receive from my services and setting up a donation system for those who wish to contribute more. The rescue currently needs used blankets and towels, wet cat/kitten food, and lightweight litter.

To ensure we provide comprehensive support to this rescue, my next post will outline all available appointments for this month.

It’s time to get July booked and give back to a slice of Heaven in our community.

If you haven’t already, please follow Sweetwhisker Rescue and show some love to her beautiful fur babies ❤️ … some of them are available for adoption now 😉

🖤Shayla🖤

Shayla is a gorgeous long-haired black cat with a soft heart and a brave spirit. She lived for years with an untreated urinary tract infection, but is now healthy and doing well on urinary care food. Her adopter should continue her on urinary care food and monitor for any signs of recurrence.

Shayla is unfortunately front-declawed, so she must be an indoor-only cat for her safety. She needs soft litter to avoid pain in her sensitive paws and prefers a very clean litter box—ideally more than one. She’s looking for a patient, understanding adopter who knows the special care declawed cats may need, and behaviors that are common with declawed cats.

This sweet girl loves attention and being pet. While she might be a little hissy at first with other cats, she’s coexisted well once she’s settled in.

Shayla is affectionate, gentle, and ready to find the loving, indoor home she truly deserves. She Is around 3 years old, fixed, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and ready for her forever home.

⭐️Included is a picture of litter she has been using and doing well with. If her boxes are not clean, she will find somewhere clean to use the bathroom. I believe this is a learned behavior from her past UTI & home circumstances. If you keep her litter soft & clean, with multiple boxes, she will do fine⭐️

If you are interested in setting up a meet and greet, please send a message on here or at [email protected] for an application for adoption !

🏥VET UPDATE🏥

Sweet girl has mange and bacterial / yeast infection 😭
She goes back in two weeks for a recheck. Today was $400. We can’t get her fixed till she is healed from all this garbage. She was such a good girl at the vet. She’s a tiny girl, only 32 pounds. She could definitely use some groceries to thicken her up. I can’t wait to see her itch free and healthy 🥹❤️

🖤UPDATE🖤

My wonderful vet got her in today with my other appointments 🥹

At first glance, Ivy doesn’t look so bad. But once you spend more then 5 seconds with her and see her itching and scratching… you start to notice the hair loss. Then you notice the crusty oozy patchy skin. There are some spots you can’t touch on her without her yelping in pain 😢💔

As some of you saw before the comment got deleted (screen shots last forever)…. Her owner came forward. She wasn’t truthful. She said she rehomed her to someone she thought she could trust. But on a local page she was claiming this dog as her own one week ago 🙁 As you know, the condition doesn’t go from normal to THIS in a matter of a week. Regardless, I don’t care at this moment. Ivy is SAFE, and getting help and another shot at life.

To her previous owner, please follow up and send me all information/history you have on Ivy. I will not pursue any further action if you cooperate fully. You can message on here or at [email protected]

Please consider donating to her appointment today. We receive zero government support and we do not receive free veterinary services. Your help is crucial to her recovery.

3 hours later and I’d say she’s feeling a lot better!

She is by no means sporting a perfect cut, but it was a difficult groom because of her oozy flaky skin. I had to keep her as comfortable as I could, while making her as comfortable for the long run.

Look back at the post before this one to see who this girl is, if you’re just seeing this post!

We are trying to get her in to the vet tomorrow (or early this week at the latest) to get a skin scrape done. Please consider donating towards her appointment!

🚨 URGENT RESCUE STORY: Meet Ivy 🐾

This is Ivy, an Aussie Doodle who came so close to losing her life. She was scheduled to be euthanized this Tuesday through no fault of her own. Thankfully, the stars aligned just in time, and we were able to step in and save her. 💔

Sweetwhisker Rescue is primarily a cat rescue, but when an animal is in desperate need and we’re in a position to help — we do. Ivy is one of those souls we just couldn’t turn away from. And luckily, we were able to pull her because we had a foster who is experienced with doodles able to help. 

She is currently covered in a skin infection that is crusting and flaking off her poor body. 😢 Despite everything, she is incredibly sweet, gentle, and already showing signs of gratitude for a second chance.

Ivy has a long road of healing ahead, and we could use your help. We’ve created an Amazon registry with items she needs — from medicated shampoos to soft bedding and healthy food.
