Just a little over 4 days left of the 2025 Purrfect Pour Initiative. Please help us finish strong by raising a glass of Purrfect Pilsner to 2026!

Elevate your next beer experience by contributing to a noble cause. Water Street Kitchen has teamed up with Dakota's Dream Animal Rescue in 2025 to introduce The Purrfect Pour Initiative. For each Purrfect Pilsner sold, Water Street Kitchen will donate $2 to Dakota's Dream Animal Rescue, aiding our vital mission to support cats in need. Visit Water Street Kitchen, indulge in a cold Purrfect Pilsner, and play a part in transforming the life of a feline.

Huge thank you to all the people dropping off their gifts for the 12 Cats of Christmas!! We missed the 12th cat which is Walter. If you recall Walter came in after a house fire a couple of months ago. He has been vetted multiple times and is now neutered. He had an appointment with Dr. Bruce Welch on Monday for a scope because we cannot figure out what is going on. He would love a soft blanket and some canned food. This was a picture from when he initially came in. Also we are posting some of the gifts received for the other kitties!! Thank you to this amazing community!!

Tonight was a gathering of our volunteers to celebrate the season and an amazing year! Fifteen years of working, growing and helping. Througn struggles and difficulties, the ups and downs, the joys and disappointments. We did it together. A true team effort. A fun evening of food, laughter, and games! For those unable to join we missed you! Thank you volunteers for the daily dedication.

Some lives are built on scraps of courage and moments of borrowed safety.
For a feral cat, survival is never promised-it is earned, one careful step at a time. A full bowl means they made it through another day. A quiet corner means, for once, they can rest without fear.

They don’t ask for much. Not comfort. Not forever. Just mercy in a world that has rarely offered it. And when we choose to leave food, offer shelter, or simply not chase them away, we become something rare in their story-proof that gentleness still exists.
To them, kindness is not weakness.
It is relief.
It is dignity.
It is the thin line between merely surviving and being allowed to live.

As Christmas draws near, may warmth take many forms-a meal left out, a door left open, a heart choosing compassion. Sometimes, that is the greatest gift a life like theirs will ever know.❤️🐾🎄

Dear Santa, if you have room on your list, please send me a human who believes stray cats deserve love. I’ve seen too many gentle souls living on borrowed hope, learning to survive without ever knowing what it feels like to be chosen. They don’t ask for much, only warmth, patience, and someone willing to see past their fear.

This Christmas, I hold onto the belief that compassion can still change a life. Somewhere beyond the Rainbow Bridge, I imagine the ones who never found safety here finally at peace. And here on earth, I keep wishing for hearts that understand loving a stray cat isn’t charity, it’s recognizing a soul that has always deserved a home.
