💔 Rescue Story: A Family Saved from an Abandoned House 💔

Sometimes we wonder how these sweet souls survive out there… This little family somehow made their way to an abandoned house and the mama gave birth to her babies inside. Thankfully, someone spotted them from a distance and reached out for help.

Our team rushed out and was able to safely catch Mama and scoop up her four precious babies. They are now safe, warm, and being well cared for. ❤️

We’re still working hard to catch the daddy dog, who’s nearby but scared. Please keep him in your thoughts — we’re determined to get him to safety too.

If you’d like to help us care for this little family, we’ve put together an Amazon Wish List with supplies they need. Every single donation — big or small — truly makes a difference.

We couldn’t do what we do without our amazing supporters. Thank you for always stepping up for the ones who can’t speak for themselves. 💕

We’ll post an update as soon as Daddy is safe! 🙏

Special thanks to some very persistent ladies- Sarah (Yin Yin) and Ms. June. You ladies rock!

📣 Happy National Black Cat Day! 🖤
Today we’re celebrating all our beautiful black and tuxedo cats who are ready to pounce into your heart — and your home. These sweeties are friendly, loving, and just waiting for that special family to call their own. We have mostly kittens, plus a couple of friendly adult cats too.

Why focus on black and tuxedo cats? Sadly, they’re overlooked more often than other colors thanks to old myths and superstitions — but we know how amazing they are and we want to find them homes!

✨ Here’s how you can help:
• Share this post so more people see these gorgeous cats
• Tag or tell a friend who might be ready to adopt

📍 Located in Alabama - we can arrange transport to the New England area.

💛 Love is black & white, and full of purrs!

🌟 Saturday’s Special: Meet Treslegee! 🌟

This beautiful girl has been through so much and still has the sweetest spirit. 💖

Treslegee came into our local shelter with a mangled back leg — it was infected and the bone had begun to deteriorate. Our amazing vets made the decision to amputate, and thanks to their care and her incredible resilience, she’s now a happy, healthy tripod kitty! 🐾

She’s about two years old, loves attention, and adores being a lap cat. Treslegee would prefer to be the only pet in her home (though she does tolerate other cats), and she’ll give you endless love in return.

Please consider giving this brave, beautiful girl the forever home she deserves. You will not be disappointed. 💕

Please share!

Paws of Dixie Animal Rescue

We are a non-profit organization located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Our mission is to make a difference by rescuing as many homeless and unwanted animals as possible. We focus on rehoming these animals into loving homes, while also striving to educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering their pets. There are hundreds of animals euthanized daily due to overpopulation in shelters. One of the main issues causing overpopulation of these animals is the lack of spaying and neutering. We need help from our community, volunteers, fosters and adopters. Without you, our work wouldn’t be possible. Please consider helping us or your local animal rescue today!
