This cutie patootie is gaining weight and looking oh so handsome. Hoping he gains strength soon because his sister Hattie likes to play rough 😂

Today the mountain litter was split up & went to two different foster homes, at their new rescue. Both fosters were very happy to have hissy kitties 😂 I have no doubt that they won’t absolutely thrive in their new foster homes. I am so grateful the rescue community can work together so nicely with the same goals in mind 🖤

TWIGGY & KITTEN UPDATE

in just a few hours they’ll be A WEEK OLD. Under each picture I’ll include their current weight.

Twiggy is doing fantastic and is very attentive. I can’t believe how tiny she actually is and that she had so many babies in there

Do you know how much a kitten poops? Imagine it. Then multiply it by infinity 😂

We have quite a few kitten booties to wipe. We haven’t received the payment for our grant yet, so we are still currently on begging terms 🫠

Big exciting day for our mama dog ! She gets fixed and I am so glad she’ll never ever have to have puppies again…. Especially since she’s just a puppy herself 🥹

An update on a few of our Sweetwhisker babies.

🖤Clark: still isn’t doing great. I let him know I believe in him, and i also let him know it’s okay if he is tired. He goes with his sister tomorrow for a follow up on their eyes. Mama Norma-Jeane is healing well from her spay.

🤍Twiggy & kittens: they are all doing fantastic. Gaining so much weight and growing so quickly. How has it only been 4 days since their birthday!? Twiggy is a great mom and she must be feeding them straight up protein shakes for them to be growing this way 😅

🩶Pixie & kitties: holy cannoli I am in love with all of them. Pix is one of the sweetest moms I’ve met! Right up there with Pandora and Mango in terms of temperament. And it has rubbed off on her kittens because they are soooo chill. Panda has bones made of wet noodles because she is so floppy and relaxed any way you have her 😂 and Pilot is so well natured too.

We also have TNR’ed a ton already this week. Two of the TNRs went to another rescue to live as barn cats. And a shelter reached out for us to take kittens whose mama was hit on the highway. Did you know the most euthanized group of animals in the US is kittens under 8 weeks of age? They require around the clock care that shelters can’t provide (especially without fosters). One of my fantastic transport helpers for TNR stepped up and took 5 little kittens who would have had a slim chance without us. Also, the same rescue who needed barn cats, will also be taking The Mountain Litter into their rescue. It is humbling to know Sweetwhisker isn’t their best chance at success. They need more experienced rescues to provide them the socialization they require. BUT there is no room for ego in rescue & I have zero issue admitting where we fall short. I am so grateful to have a network of rescues/shelters who have the best interest of the cats at heart ❤️ Team work makes the dream work.

🧡REGGIE AND TONY🧡

These boys both love quiet cuddle sessions, soft blankets, and gentle pets. Once they warm up, they become the most affectionate little guys who will melt your heart.

These guys might start off as undercover couch potatoes, but give them a little time and a lot of love… and they will be your new besties. Tony LOVES churu treats (a sure-fire way to speed up the process of trust) and they both love the wand toy.

They *can* be adopted out separately but would also love to be together. They’re about 6 months old 🧡

They are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to go home. If you’re interested in Tony and/or Reggie please reach out for an adoption application on Facebook or at [email protected]

Well…. THANK YOU 🥹😻🥳

This is life changing for us, especially during kitten season. This amount will cover to get 75 cats fixed, for perspective! Your ongoing support means the world. I couldn’t have dreamt of a better village 💕

My TNR helper told me she was getting a cat to TNR for a community member who has strays on their property. She got there and called me asking how soon mama could be taken from her kittens to TNR. I video chatted her …. And that was it. I saw these extremely friendly kittens and extremely friendly mama & knew the weather we were expecting… and did a whole lot more shuffling and took this unexpected family in.

There is no way they’re made for the TNR life. They are so outgoing and precious and can easily be adopted out. So that’s what I’ll do.

Thank you to Karen for taking Ocean from the shed, so these could be in there. Ocean is on vacation until his foster family has their out of town guests head back home.

This poor mama has what looks like mastitis so she is at the vet as a drop off. One of her kittens had a pretty good size tick on it which broke my heart.  we have been told that mama has had multiple litters… And possibly miscarried her last litter. She’s missing a few teeth so I don’t think she is very young. But this will be the last litter she ever has to have. 

Mama & baby girl were named by a friends daughter, and we continued the “P” theme for the boy.

Baby boy Pilot

Hattie and Clark are looking a bit radioactive today. 🔋🧪

These sweet kittens had a follow up today and they have eye ulcers. Hoping the new medicine and serum helps them. They go back on Friday for a recheck. Until then, they’ll be getting meds 3x a day. Still worried about Clark and his lack of weight gain and willingness to eat. So we have a new plan moving forward to get him the nutrients he needs.

If anyone would like to donate to the appointment of Clark and Hattie, there are links below 👇🏼 we have spent a few hundred dollars today between vet appointments & spay & neuters 😖

TUCKER UPDATE

This golden boy is doing so great. I can not believe how well he is healing. If it weren’t for his legs being shaved, you’d never know he ever had surgery. I wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who donated to his surgery. It means so much that you not only support the community pets, but my personal pet as well 🥹 I can’t imagine not having this sweet dumb boy here (and I say that lovingly!) he is truly the happiest dog with sunshine and rocks in his brain 💛

And a huge thank you to my veterinarians for staying so late and doing such a good job on his surgery. I truly hope you know how extremely special you are.

Remember that one time I said I wouldn’t do more than 2 litters at a time? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

How did I end up here? Well, answering that question would require me to take personal responsibility for my actions… and that is something I am not willing to do at this time 😂😅

This is how I keep things organized. Every little document, schedule, record etc goes in these litter specific folders. If I didn’t have these… my life would be even more chaotic (which is hard to imagine).

And even tho we are closed for intake… there are / were still prior commitments made behind the scenes. Also, some absolute “surprises” that come our way.

Thank you to our fosters for giving the temporary gift of space, while our rescue cats/kittens grow strong and healthy. Thank you to our loyal supporters for each dollar donated towards the care of our rescues. Without BOTH fosters and donations, Sweetwhisker could not exist. They both work together hand in hand.

It isn’t easy knowing we have such limited space, and even more limited funding. It’s not easy not knowing a set amount of money is coming each month to support the vet care & basic needs for our rescues. But my Sweetwhisker Village has never let me down 🩷

If you are interested in opening a bedroom / laundry room / even a corner of your house with a pen, to our sweet rescues… please message me for a foster form.

✂️Felix and Norma-Jeane have been dropped off for their spay and neuter appointments today! They are both extremely friendly, loving cats who will be ready for their forever homes once they’re healed up!

I have a few things for yall this morning.

☝🏻 First, for those who need help feeding their cats,would you utilize a cat food pantry? It would likely be cat food that is just beyond the “best by” date.

✌🏻 Secondly, we really need more people in the community to step up for transport for our Sweetwhisker Taxi Services. It’s to help the community members get their feral/stray cats to and from TNR appointments. If you are interested please add yourself to the group !

🐱Lastly, if you participated in our kitten food drive, please reach out to me so we can arrange pick up/drop off for the kitten food!

✨CLEO UPDATE✨

To be honest, I forget her name is Cleo, because we all refer to her as “Naked” 😂 It might be my imagination, but I feel she is less boogery. She is still on antibiotics because it can take a longgggg time to kick this sickness. But we’ve got the time ☺️🩷
