As we approach midnight on December 31, there’s still time to make a tax-deductible gift that provides medical care, food, and safe havens for cats like Sassy, Cascade, and Ginger.

Every dollar you give goes directly to the cats in our care, providing life-saving treatment and ensuring their well-being. Together, we can make a lasting impact on their lives.

Trouble woke up from his post-mission nap to let us know things didn’t quite go as planned. Half the presents ended up in random places (and a few in his stash). He doesn’t know why you’re shocked—it’s called 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚. He hopes everyone had a wonderful holiday anyway. 😻

This is Trouble, the feline chaos agent turned holiday hero. Tonight, he’s ditching his usual antics (like catching toy mice and plotting world domination from the top of the fridge) to embark on a top-secret, high-speed mission: delivering a 𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣 of presents by midnight!

With a sleigh made of pure determination (and a suspiciously wobbly cardboard box), Trouble is zipping from rooftop to rooftop, fueled by tuna treats and the sheer thrill of proving he’s better than Rudolph. Forget reindeer games—Trouble’s got stealth mode, ninja reflexes, and a meow that can make chimneys quiver.

But beware, he’s not above sneaking a present or two for himself. Got catnip under your tree? Consider it 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙. Socks? He’ll take those too, just for the chaos.

Will he finish his deliveries before midnight strikes? Or will Trouble live up to his name and turn the holidays into a comedy of errors? Stay tuned, and maybe leave out an extra plate of sardines, just in case.

Nova’s Christmas Miracle

This is the story of Nova, a one-year-old cat who is lucky to be alive after swallowing a long piece of gift-wrapping ribbon.

Nova’s owners noticed he was unwell and took him to the veterinarian, where X-rays revealed a "linear stricture"—a dangerous condition caused by ingesting a long, thin object such as string, yarn, or ribbon. These objects can become lodged in the digestive tract, causing partial or complete obstruction and serious damage. Nova needed immediate, life-saving surgery to survive, but the cost was beyond his owners' means. Faced with no other option, they made the difficult decision to surrender Nova to Whiskers, giving him a chance to live instead of euthanasia.

Within hours, Nova underwent emergency surgery to remove several feet of ribbon from his intestines. This complex and costly procedure was his only hope for survival. Thanks to Whiskers and a skilled veterinary team, Nova pulled through. He’s now recovering in a foster home, but the cost of his surgery and hospitalization exceeded $6,000.

Your generosity makes rescues like Nova’s possible. Please consider making a holiday gift to help us cover Nova’s care and prepare for future emergencies. Every dollar makes a difference in giving cats like Nova the second chance they deserve.

This holiday season, we want to share a special story that highlights the impact of your kindness and generosity.

On a cold December night, a tiny 8-week-old kitten faced an uncertain future. A woman brought him to a local store in a cardboard box, saying that if no one took him, she would release him outside. Thanks to a compassionate friend and our incredible network of volunteers and supporters, this little kitten was rescued, cared for, and brought to Whiskers.

Just days after his rescue, a couple grieving the loss of their beloved 20-year-old cat heard about this little guy, now named Jameson. The moment they met him, they couldn’t wait to open their hearts and home to him—giving him the ultimate gift: a family of his own.

This is the magic you make possible.

Because of you, kittens like Jameson get a second chance at life, love, and warmth. But so many more are still waiting for their chance.

This season of giving, we invite you to continue spreading kindness. Your support saves lives and creates more happy endings like Jameson’s. Every donation, big or small, makes a difference.

As the holidays draw near, our hearts are warmed by the spirit of giving, love, and compassion. This season, let’s remember our furry friends who are still waiting for a second chance—a chance to find love, safety, and a forever home.

Rescuing a pet doesn’t just save their life; it changes yours in ways you never imagined. Every gentle nuzzle, every soft purr, and every grateful glance reminds us of the joy that comes from opening our hearts to those in need.

Whether you adopt, foster, or support rescue efforts, you’re embodying the true spirit of this season: kindness, hope, and love. 🐾❤️

Hi folks! Casey is the name, I have a question for you. You see, I’m looking for my forever home. I’m currently living with a super nice lady but it’s only temporary. Do you think you have a home for me? I didn’t have a great start to life but I’m living the good life now in foster! Being only 2, I’m a playful gal who loves humans! Psst, between you and I, I wouldn’t do best with super young kids because my love language is sometimes love bites.

Question: What’s sweet like chocolate but even cuter?
Answer: Peppermint Patty, of course!

This sweet gal is so incredibly lovey you could just eat her up. Just like the chocolate, only better! She likes nothing more than some chin scratches. As a former momma cat, she does very well sharing space with others. Looking to satisfy that sweet tooth without the calories? Apply to adopt at www.ewhiskers.com/apply and schedule a meeting with Peppermint Patty !
