This beautiful, shy girl has made so much progress. Yesterday day she jumped up on the couch next to her foster and actually bumped up against her for pets. Brie is going to make a wonderful cuddly girl for any quiet home that is willing to help her out of her shell.

Shortbread is already feeling so much better with a few days of antibiotics! ❤️ She still has a yucky nose & is a little sneezy, but her eyes are almost back to normal. Her foster mom wonders why she can’t get any work done this morning... 😝

We are still looking for more fosters so we can rescue more kitties like Shortbread. To apply to foster, download a foster application at www.purrsandwhiskers.org/foster and email the completed form back to [email protected]

With the help of a generous lady in Stafford, we were able to help rescue this 5 week old kitten that was found wandering her street all alone crying out for it's mama whom we believe probably abandoned her because she is sick.

When we receive this little baby yesterday she smelled that awful "sick smell", so our volunteer/foster gave her a bath yesterday & got off TONS of fleas & lice nits. After getting home yesterday evening the foster brought her over to evaluate & start treatment.

This little fluffer-nutter weighed in at 0.9 pound and based on her teeth & body development we believe she is 5 weeks old 😻 . To our surprise, she didn't have a fever, amazing! She obviously has a bad URI: green discharge from both eyes both nostrils... Sneezed goo 😹. Fortunately her lungs sound clear. She peed on the blankie on our medical table 😂. Had diarrhea & the thermometer 💩 smelled "coccidia bad". Even after her morning bath she still had lots of fleas (not a surprise), so we gave her 1/2 a Capstar pill to start killing adult fleas in 30 minutes minutes & did more flea combing/picking. Her gums where pale, so we feel confident she has flea anemia. Again, not a surprise.

This fluffy girl received her first mani/pedi & we cleaned her ears. While her ears were pretty waxy/dirty, no obvious ear mites - YAY!

We gave her fluids from dehydration/being malnourished & Vitamin B12 injection to help boost her immune system. We also started her on an oral antibiotic, an eye antibiotic ointment, Ponazuril for probable coccidia (protozoa parasite), Pyrantel dewormer, Capstar to start killing fleas, Frontline Spray as a topical flea & lice killer (since she's too small for the other monthly topical parasite killer/prevention), & Pet-Tinic liquid vitamin to help with the anemia & vitamin deficiency from being underweight/malnourished.

Her foster's kittens are all named after types of cookies, so this little girl is now named Shortbread 😹. Once healthy, she will join that litter of kittens. 😻

If anyone would like to make a donation to help us help more kitties, please go to www.purrsandwhiskers.org/donate

URGENT: Please help us find a new foster home for Beanz 🙏 While he gets along with the resident cat, the resident cat is NOT happy with having another cat in the home & keeping them in assigned separate rooms is an unpleasant challenge for the foster.

Handsome Beanz was abandoned at a county shelter by his original adopter because their teen went off to college. Fortunately the shelter contacted us so we could rescue him from having to live in a small cage. Mr. Beanz would love to hang out in a calm, quiet home & doesn't mind sharing space with other cats.

P&W will provide all needed supplies if you provide the love!

To apply to foster, download a foster application at www.purrsandwhiskers.org/foster and email it back to [email protected]

* For the safety of both Beanz & your personal pets, all pets in the home must be up to date on vaccinations.

** FOSTER NEEDED ** PLEASE SHARE **
Meet Beanz, a good ol' boy! This 2-year old dapper tuxedo cat has a heart as warm as his sleek black and white coat. This gentleman may be shy at first glance, but give him a moment, and he'll grace you with the sweetest purrs you've ever heard. Beans is a connoisseur of affection, cherishing every pet and nuzzle from his beloved humans. His reserved nature is simply a prelude to the deep bonds he forms with those he trusts. In the comfort of his foster home, Beanz reveals his true self—a loving, playful, silly, loyal companion who adores his people and brings a touch of elegance to every room he enters. He loves to play in his water dish or in the sink with the stream on low. He is a fan of chasing toys that move above his head. He'll be sure to 'get' the toy

He is neutered, tested negative for FIV/ FeLV, microchipped, dewormed, treated with Revolution, and am up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines.

Urgent Plea: Foster Family Needed for Shy Kitty

We have an urgent need for a loving foster family for a shy kitty who requires extra attention and playtime to help him come out of his shell. This sweet feline is a bit timid and needs a patient and caring environment to thrive. Here are the details:

About the Kitty:

Name: Whizzer
Age: 2 years
Personality: Shy but gentle
Special Needs: Lots of playtime and affection to build confidence
Quirks: Whizzer has a fe**sh for paper towels and toilet paper, so these items need to be put away to avoid any playful messes.

What We're Looking For:

* A quiet home with a calm atmosphere
* Someone with experience in handling shy or timid cats
* Commitment to providing daily playtime and interaction
* A family or individual who can offer patience and understanding
* Willingness to keep paper products out of Whizzer's reach

Why This Matters: This kitty has so much potential to be a loving companion, but he needs a foster family and a calm/quiet home to help him feel safe and secure. With your help, he can learn to trust and enjoy life.

Contact Information:
If you can open your heart and home to this deserving kitty, please contact us at [email protected] as soon as possible. Your kindness can make a world of difference!

Thank you for considering this plea. Together, we can give this kitty the chance he deserves.

🐾 Urgent Call for Cat & Kitten Fosters! Please share this post to help spread the word. 🐾

Help Save Lives – Open Your Heart and Home Today!

We're reaching out to our amazing community because we need YOUR help. Our rescue is overflowing with sweet adult cats and adorable kittens who desperately need loving foster homes. By fostering, you provide a safe haven for these precious animals while they await their forever families. 💖

WHY FOSTER?

* SAVE LIVES: Every cat and kitten fostered means one more life saved. Our shelter is at capacity, and your help can make all the difference.
* NO COST TO YOU: We provide all the supplies you need – food, litter, toys, and medical care. You just provide the love and care.
* FLEXIBLE: Whether you can foster for a few weeks or a few months, your time makes a huge impact. We have options to fit your lifestyle.
* EMOTIONAL REWARDS: Watching a shy cat blossom or a kitten grow and thrive in your care is an incredibly rewarding experience.

How to Get Started:

1. Fill Out a Foster Application on our website www.purrsandwhiskers.org/foster (for the safety of your personal pets & the rescue cats, all pets in the home must be up to date on all vaccinations).
2. Training: Our team will provide all the training and support you need to feel confident.
3. Welcome Your Furry Guest: Bring your new feline friend home and enjoy the companionship and joy they bring.

Meet Some of Our Friends in Need:

GABBY: A gentle adult female cat with a heart of gold who loves to lounge in sunny spots.

LAUREL: A super affectionate male cat that would flourish in any home.

WHIZZER: A shy guy who just wants a quiet place to hang out.

LITTERS OF KITTENS: We have received many requests to take in kittens that were found to born in yards to community cats. Some litters are old enough to eat on their own and no longer need mom, others need mom to nurse them until they're 8 weeks old and need to be contained with the kittens. All kittens need to be socialized to prepare them for adoption and these energetic kittens will keep you entertained with playful antics!

Sadly the reality is that without you to help foster, we can't help these cats. Let's work together to save more cats & kittens!!
