Mothers Night

A time to cherish and love those who bring light into our lives.

Day 1: Welcoming the Light 🌟
Celebrate the return of the sun with a simple Yule tradition: lighting a candle to honor the light. Pair it with a cat-friendly glow by creating a safe, cozy space for your rescue cats to bask in. Consider gifting a small lantern as a symbol of hope for the new year.

Animals are NOT gifts, they’re a lifetime commitment. 💚

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

Gifts are not animals. Animals are gifts.

Read. It. Again.

Balls are for trees! 🎄

1. Neutered cats live longer, healthier lives, and are far less likely to fight other cats. FIV, FeLV, and other diseases are spread by cat bites sustained while fighting.

2. Neutered cats are less likely to spray. Smelly tomcat urine damages property and causes problems with neighbors and landlords.

3. Neutered cats are less likely to be trapped, dumped, or taken to a shelter. Being neutered advertises that someone cares and that they won’t be reproducing.

4. Neutered cats fight less often and less aggressively. This saves money on veterinary bills to treat abscesses and wounds.

5. Neutered cats stay closer to home. They are less likely to get lost, killed by predators, or hit by vehicles while roaming and searching for mates.

Celebrating Yule: Rescue Cat Style 💚❤️

Yule is a 12 day long celebration that starts on the eve of Winter Solstice (12/20) and continues until the New Year. This celebration was one of the most important time of the year in ancient times.

This Yule season, we gather not only to honor the beauty of the winter solstice but also to celebrate the light we bring into the lives of our feline friends in need. As we decorate our homes and share warmth with loved ones, let us also extend our hearts to the many cats waiting for a furrever home. Yule is a time of reflection, renewal, and hope—much like the journey of every rescue cat looking for love.

By participating in our Yule celebration, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of these animals. Whether through donations, volunteering, or adopting, every act of kindness adds to the festive spirit and transforms the lives of cats who have faced hardship. Together, let’s create a season filled with joy, compassion, and the promise of new beginnings. Watch for daily posts with a new way to celebrate and share acts of kindness.

Join us in celebrating Yule as a time to rescue, cherish, and uplift our furry companions—because every cat deserves a chance to bask in the warmth of a loving home.

Day 2: Evergreen Magic 🌲
Day 3: Gingerbread Joy 🍪

We got to play Santa’s helper this week! 🎅🏻🎄

Donating nearly 300lbs of dog food to Clyde's Closet, and another 50 lbs of kitty kibble to Touched By A Paw, Inc Cat Rescue and 7 cases of KMR to Susie Q's Rescue 🙏🏻💙

We like to give back whenever we have the opportunity to do so. This week we had a slew of food donations that we, unfortunately were unable to use here. With the blessings of our donors, we redonated it to our community.

We appreciate the support our community and donors lends us. Together, we can make a difference and impact even more. Thank you 🙏🏻

Send all your well wishes and positive thoughts Linda’s way today! 🙏🏻✨

She is up at Precision Veterinary getting her dental surgery today. Linda is the 7th kitty here at the cafe that has received a dental surgery in 2024. She is from the 18 cat situation we helped our partner Susie Qs Rescue with. She was the least concerning as we had everyone checked with our vet and triaged. Today is her big day!

We rescued all 18, with 6 still remaining-waiting on their furrever homes. Linda is one of the beauties waiting patiently. Regardless of the wait, they are safe, happy and healthy!

Wish to help with some medical costs? Please donate directly to our partner, as she has taken the biggest financial burden with medical costs.

Initial and ongoing care can get expensive, consider donating today to help the mission keep moving forward.

GOOD LUCK LINDA! 💙😽

Together, we are making a positive impact on the lives of these precious kitties. Thank you, Pet Supplies Plus-Whitewater, for being a vital part of our community and for helping us give our kitties the love and care they deserve!

Update:

BG is still with us, for now.
Not because her adopter didn’t want her, she was actually a purrfect match.. and really loved BG.. However, BG is going to take a bit more time. Tonight BG was totally uninterested in her adopter.

Sometimes the purrfect match can take a few visits, we appreciate patience and understanding, along with lots of love.

Our potential adopter and the Cafe decided it would be best to visit again and spend more time with her.

It can be difficult for some of the kitties we have had here longer. BG has been with us for over a year, and made this her safe space. Im confident she will open up for her human.

Keep sending her love and positive thoughts! 🧡

Come give this gorgeous young lady a sweet farewell! She is heading home today to her new furrever home in Madison!

BG has been with us since October of 2023, patiently waiting her purrfect human(s). 🧡

Today is her BIG day! Come give her a farewell, not to be forgotten.
