Pearl found her home!

Thank you to her new family for giving her a safe place after a hard change in her life.

Pearl lived with her dad for years after being adopted from Fat Cat Rescue. She returned to us when he became too ill to care for her. She showed up sweet, friendly, and confused. She deserved a quick path back to a home, and you helped make that happen.

Thank you to everyone who showed interest in her. Thank you for every share and message. Your support helped her reach the family she has today.

Happy tails, Pearl!

Meet Silver!

Sterling is not the only shiny kitten in town.

This little silver tabby is also six weeks old and has her own sparkle. She was found on the side of the road and moved into Meagan’s foster home, where she showed her playful and spunky side right away.

She is ready for preadoption! Apply to meet her: FatCatRescueInc.org/adoptable-cats

Meet Sterling. His gray coat looks like sterling silver and he knows he shines. He was born October 6 and his foster, Meagan, has raised him since he was two weeks old. She bottle fed him, kept him warm, and watched him grow.

Now he is almost six weeks old and doing everything a little kitten should. He eats on his own and uses the litter box. He follows you like a shadow and climbs into your lap without asking.

He is a tiny silver treasure and he is ready for preadoption.

If you want to meet him, please apply: FatCatRescueInc.org/adoptable-cats

Meet Pascal! This 3-month-old medium-haired tabby kitten is shy when you first meet him, but once he feels safe, he’s full of purrs and kisses.

He’s happiest when he has another cat to love - he follows their lead and loves to snuggle up for naps.

Pascal is ready to find a home where he can blossom with a feline friend by his side.

Yabba-dabba-doo! Fred and Wilma have been adopted together!

These two sweet Flintstone kittens found the perfect family to love them forever. Their new home will be full of cuddles, purrs, and all the comfort they deserve.

A huge thank-you to their wonderful adopters for giving this bonded pair a happy ending. And special thanks to their foster, Roman, for the love and care he gave them every day. Fred and Wilma will always be part of the Fat Cat Rescue family.

We’re so happy for these special kitties!

Pearl’s heart is waiting for a home.

This beautiful 8-year-old Siamese was adopted from Fat Cat Rescue years ago and has lived a loved life with her dad ever since. Sadly, her adopter is now seriously ill and had to return her.

Pearl is as kind and gentle as they come. She’s friendly, loves attention, and looks out from her cage, wondering where her human went. She deserves a soft bed, a quiet home, and someone new to love her.

If you have room in your heart and home for Pearl, please visit us at FatCatRescueInc.org/adopt to fill out an adoption application.

Friday Food Frenzy: Prayers Answered!

This morning, blessings rolled in by the boxful - literally. FedEx and Amazon arrived with a huge delivery of donated food for our cats. With a small Sunday crew, Kaye started figuring out how to unload it all when a wonderful couple, Katherine and Rob, pulled up to drop off their own donation. Without hesitation, they jumped in to help Kaye and volunteer Donna empty every single box.

Even Scout, one of our resident cats, climbed into their SUV as if to say his own thank you.

We are beyond grateful for everyone who donated, shared, and supported us this week. You’ve helped us make tremendous progress toward what’s needed to feed our 300+ cats. Please keep sharing - every bit of help makes a difference.

From all of us (and Scout) at Fat Cat Rescue - thank you for hearing our prayers and answering with love. 😻

Swirlz and Marbles have found their forever home…together!

Their new mom fell in love with their sweet and playful personalities, and we couldn’t be happier for this perfect match.

A big thank you to their foster mom, Sharon, for giving them such a loving start!

Their siblings, Pebbles and Quinn, are still waiting for their turn to be adopted. Come meet them and see if one (or both!) might be the right fit for your family.
