These kittens are still waiting for homes. We don't know why- they are the sweetest ever. For those who love baby house panthers, Froot Loop is the cuddliest and most affectionate thing you'll ever meet. Her sisters, Cleo and Yum Yum, are kind of an inverted set: Cleo is mostly white with grey patches and Yum Yum is mostly grey with white patches. They are super friendly and cuddly as well. They were all raised together in a foster home with little kids and are great with kids of all ages, including toddlers. They can be adopted in any combination, or to homes with other playful, friendly cats.

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED. This sweet and beautiful lady appears to have been left behind when her family moved. The new homeowners found her living in the backyard and noticed she was pregnant. They couldn't keep her so they contacted us. They brought her in on Sunday and she gave birth to 6 kittens on Tuesday. She and the babies are in a temporary foster home but need a home for the next two months, until the babies are weaned and ready for adoption. We also need foster homes for healthy adult cats, cats with medical needs, and shy older kittens. Even fostering temporarily helps. We provide all supplies and training and support as needed. Please email [email protected] or call 413-351-6450 if interested.

URGENT HELP NEEDED: A few weeks ago, we posted about Sunny, a sweet and friendly older gentleman who came in dangerously emaciated, infested with fleas, dehydrated, anemic, and with a double ear infection. He is looking much better and starting to gain weight after getting rid of the fleas, treating the ear infection, and receiving a prescription diet and subcutaneous fluids. However, bloodwork revealed early-stage kidney disease, which can be controlled by a prescription diet. More concerning is that his heart muscle test indicated possible heart failure. He is going to a cardiologist this Thursday. We don't know what his future holds but we are determined to do what we can to save his life and provide quality of life. Veterinary cardiology is very expensive and we could seriously use help with funds. If you would like to donate to Sunny's care, please visit our website for donation options: www.ellasfelinerescuemission.com/donate. Any amount helps. This sweet boy was living outside and we don't know for how long he suffered. He deserves so much better than what he was given and we will do everything in our power to support him.

Every day is Mother's Day. While everyone focuses on kittens this time of year, the moms often get left behind. They work hard to care for their babies, sacrificing their own needs, often giving birth outdoors and protecting their babies from all sorts of dangers. The babies get adopted and the moms wait and wait for someone to love them. To give our Moms their best shot, we are discounting adoption fees for any female cat who recently raised a litter of kittens. All of the cats below are friendly, beautiful, sweet young adults who can be adopted for only $150. The adoption fee includes spay, vaccines, vet exam, deworming, and testing for FIV and Feline Leukemia Virus.

We are so happy that sweet Kai was adopted this past Sunday! Huge thanks to Kevin and Elizabeth Gorman, a wonderful couple who volunteers with us and has adopted from us in the past, for giving her a great home. She is much loved and has feline siblings who are enjoying her company already. Here she is, perfectly content in her new home.

We are shocked (and sad) that adorable Kai is still waiting for a home. She has been at two different adoption events and no one has even asked to hold her or learn more about her. A friend and mentor who runs a cat rescue says that the cow kitties are always the last to go. I'm not sure why- they are so cute and generally good-natured. We have a pet cow kitty and he is super friendly and a favorite of everyone who comes over. Kai is a bit shy- she was found living under a porch with her mom and 3 siblings- but is very sweet, curious, and playful. She loves other kittens and cats. She can be adopted along with her mom, Moana, who is very sweet and affectionate, with another kitten, or to a home with a playful and friendly cat.

We have been at capacity for months and have said repeatedly that we can't take in any more cats until the ones we have find homes. However, we can't find it in ourselves to turn down cats who are suffering. This past Wednesday, we got a call from a caring woman who found a very friendly stray and brought him into her garage to feed him. She called us, asking if we could take him because he was very, very skinny and she was worried for him. We couldn't say no. Upon intake, he was emaciated and had one of the worst flea infestations I've seen. He went to the vet the next day, where he was diagnosed with anemia and dehydration. He has been getting daily subcutaneous fluids and a prescription diet, which he will get for another few days until he is healthy enough to have blood work done to see what has caused the emaciation. I've been calling him Sunny, since his fur is so bright it seems to contain sunlight.
We don't know what the future holds for Sunny. The vet estimated that he is over 10, and anemia in older cats is often caused by major organ failure. But we will do everything in our power to give him a good and healthy life, if at all possible. When you support EFRM, whether financially, through donating supplies, or by volunteering, this is what you are supporting: a chance for the most vulnerable and needy cats to have a shot at a good life. Sunny did not deserve the pain and discomfort he has experienced and we are doing all we can to give him the love and comfort he should have had all along.
