Truby loves her new tunnel donut kitty bed! Not sure who donated it, but this little creeper is obsessed.
Thank you!
This past July, Jasper’s Mewvment was contacted by a MercyHealth Hospital employee regarding a tortie and her kittens living in the physician parking lot.
I said no. We didn’t have a foster available. We were already completely overwhelmed.
I thought about them often knowing mom would be pregnant again soon and the kittens would grow up feral. It’s really a helpless feeling when you want so bad to help, but can’t. For whatever reason, I saved the kittens’ pictures I was sent that day. I added “the Mercy cats” to my ever-growing list of cats needing rescue.
On August 20, I received a message from another employee at MercyHealth-- a kitten had been struck by a car in the physician parking lot. Within minutes of my receiving that message, the kitten died.
I don’t know how to describe what I felt in that moment. Knowing that had I said yes the month prior, that beautiful brown tabby would be here.
I canceled appointments, cleared my day, piled 5 traps into my car, some sardines, tuna, and chicken, and drove to Mercy.
In less than 24 hours, I had the three kittens and mom trapped. Mom is a known feral that frequents Mercy; she was spayed, vaccinated, de-wormed, treated with revolution, and released. The kittens, estimated to be 10-12 weeks, were flea bathed, given age appropriate vaccines, de-wormed, and treated with revolution. They went to an already overwhelmed foster.
As for the sibling that passed, I brought her home from Mercy. She is buried at Rainbow Bridge. Our rescue has a grave site on private property. It’s under a large tree and it’s equipped with a wooden bridge, what we refer to as 🌈Rainbow Bridge.🌈 All of our babies, young and old, that we can’t save, are buried at Rainbow Bridge. Every kitty has a stone painted in his/her memory and placed at the bridge. There are string lights and garden memorial stones. It’s sad and yet incredibly beautiful.
I choose to believe God had a hand in my saving the pictures I was sent t
Sparrow
I’m not sure who donated this toy to us through chewy, but Sparrow absolutely loves it! So, whoever you are, thank you!
Sparrow has been in rescue since March. She had a litter of kittens in April, all of whom have long since been adopted.
Sparrow has been available for adoption since late June. Her Petfinder post has been viewed over 300 times and not 1 person has reached out about adopting her.
I really wish people would consider adopting the adult cats, the shy cats, the black cats, the disabled cats, and special needs cats. I understand that kittens are cute, but the abandoned and forgotten cats need love, too.
Please share Sparrow. She spent the first 3 years of her life outdoors having litter after litter of kittens. It’s her turn to be showered with love.
