Meet Keiko!

Some of you may know that I (Amie) work at a local vet. This sweet 2ish-month-old boy was dropped off at the hospital as a stray and he was on death’s door. Before examining him, when the Dr saw him brought to the treatment area, she thought he was a DOA. He looked lifeless.

The finders could not financially afford to treat him. The hospital ran diagnostics - bloodwork and ultrasound. His combo test was negative. Bloodwork indicated an infection and ultrasound ruled out FIP.

The diagnosis: dehydrated, emaciated, upper respiratory infection, eye infection, covered in fleas and a large load of intestinal parasites.

Prognosis: good. Just needs some TLC

The Dr knew I was on intake hold but asked if we could help. I couldn’t say no to his sweet face so now, Keiko is at my house receiving supportive care and he’s doing very well. We do not know how long he was in that condition but we are very thankful that someone found him and brought him to the vet.

It’s unclear if there is any sort of brain damage or consequences from the condition he was in. He seems a little “off” but that may go away with time. He does not understand litter at all which is strange. Even strays typically instinctively know what a litter box is. He will instead go on his food 🤢.

I do not know if he came from inside or if he was a stray. I don’t suspect abuse (at least, not intentional abuse). I believe he was accidentally trapped somewhere away from food/water for an extended period of time. For example, he may have been trapped in someone’s garage. I do not think he was a feral kitten since he enjoys being pet and around people.

He does not have a lot of energy, yet. So please keep Keiko in your thoughts and prayers. While we hopefully don’t need to run further diagnostics, supportive care costs still add up. Fluids, meds, rx food (Critical Nutrition), baby food, etc. Any donations are appreciated 🙏🏻

🌊🐱 Meet Ponyo — Our Little Sea Princess Turned Land Queen! 🐱🌊

Just like her namesake from the beloved Studio Ghibli film, Ponyo came from the waves of uncertainty and found her way to love and safety. This brave and beautiful girl was discovered near a cat colony, and a kind-hearted volunteer took her in — only to find out she was expecting! Thanks to that act of kindness, Ponyo safely brought three adorable kittens into the world and proved herself to be the most devoted mama ever. 💕
Now that her babies have found homes, it’s Ponyo’s turn to have her own happily-ever-after.

At about 1½ years old, Ponyo is a sweet, chatty girl who loves to “talk” about her day (she has a lot to say — especially around dinner time 😸). She’s learning all about the good life: cozy couch naps, warm beds, gentle pets, and watching the world from her favorite window perch.
Ponyo’s favorite things include:
✨ Gazing out the window like she’s watching the ocean waves
✨ Playing with her toys — scratching posts are her jam!
✨ Hanging out with her humans and being part of the conversation
✨ Coming when she’s called (yes, she really knows her name!)
✨ Being a polite house guest — she never jumps on counters!
She’s sweet, social, and ready to bring a little magic and joy into your world — just like the curious little fish-girl who wanted to become human. 🩷

If you’re looking for a loving companion who will fill your home with warmth, wonder, and gentle purrs, Ponyo is ready to swim right into your heart! 🐾

☕🐱 New Rescue Brew Alert! 🐱☕

This little coffee-inspired family was left abandoned…but now they’re finally safe and warm.

A few months ago, a sweet gray and white kitty started showing up at a rental property, looking for food—and maybe love, too. Just as we prepared to help her, she suddenly disappeared. Two months later, she returned… but this time she had a whole latte love with her. She had four precious kittens cuddled by her side.

On September 21st, we finally rescued this beautiful family!

We named mama Butterscotch and her adorable kittens are now known as:
😻Chai – a gentle little spice
☕️ Toffee – mellow and sweet
☕ Espresso – tiny, bold, full of zoomies
🥛 Macchiato – soft, fluffy perfection

Butterscotch is just a baby herself, only 11–13 months old, and her kittens are about 3-months-old. Momma is very loving and playful. Her babies are shy at first—but bring out a toy and you are suddenly their favorite person.

💉 Their Vet Care “Order”

Before they’re ready for forever homes, they each need:
✔️ Spay/Neuter
✔️ Vaccines
✔️ Combo testing
✔️ Microchips

🩺 Chai also has a small umbilical hernia that will be repaired during neuter surgery.

The total cost for their vetting is $980 (not including Chai’s hernia repair—cost TBD but necessary).

They’re scheduled for their first vaccines next week, and we could really use your help to get their care started. If you can donate—even the cost of a cup of coffee—we would be so grateful. Every dollar helps us keep hope brewing. ☕💜🐾

Thank you for helping us sprinkle kindness like cinnamon on a fresh cappuccino. You keep rescues like Butterscotch & her babies safe, warm, and loved. 🐾✨

💎 A precious mother–daughter duo looking for a fresh start 💎

Monday may have been International Black Cat Appreciation Day—but honestly, every day is a good day to celebrate sleek black house panthers like Sapphire and her kitten Emerald!

These two beauties came to us after their previous owner surrendered them along with six other cats. It was heartbreaking and confusing for them to suddenly lose the only home they’d known. Thanks to Pet Pride of New York , five of the cats were placed safely, and we welcomed this little gem of a duo into our care. (Along with a male who is not ready for adoption)

At first, Sapphire and Emerald were scared —they hid for weeks and flinched at even gentle movements. Momma Sapphire has what we lovingly call her “perfectly dramatic grouchy face”, but don’t let that fool you! She has never so much as hissed, swatted, or bitten. She’s simply a sensitive soul adjusting to change. Her big breakthrough came last weekend when she purred for the VERY first time in our care and then bravely licked Churu right off our fingers! 🥹 Huge milestone moment.

Emerald is slowly blooming into her kitten personality—playful, curious, and we are so proud of every little moment of bravery. She’s discovered toys, cat tunnels, and yes… she’s also a Churu enthusiast. In fact, Churu may be the secret to their little black cat hearts. 🖤

These two are fully vetted - spayed, vaccinated, combo tested (negative), microchipped and dewormed.

They are NOT what we’d consider “project cats.” They simply need time and kindness to feel safe again—a typical 3–6 month adjustment period is all they’ll likely need in a loving home.

🏡 Ideal Home
* They do not need to be adopted together (though that would be amazing!)
* If adopted separately, they should go to homes with another friendly cat—they are used to feline companions and gain confidence from them
* Patient, gentle adopters who understand that love is earned over time 💕

💜 Foster to Adopt

Not sure if they’re the right match? No pressure! We offer a Foster-to-Adopt option so you can bring Sapphire or Emerald (or both!) home to make sure they are a good fit before committing to adoption.

✨🐾 A Magical Tale From the Colony… 🐾✨

In February, a white cat began appearing at our colony but only under the watchful eye of our cameras. She never came around while we were there. She became the ghost of our colony.

On July 11th, three tiny white kittens appeared all alone with no mother in sight. But we knew, as surely as wizards know magic, they belonged to our ghostly visitor. And just as quietly as she came… she was gone again. We even tried to lure her out with her kittens but that was unsuccessful. She became a phantom once more.

The kittens then stole a car and drove right to Hogwarts (foster home) where their foster named them Harry, Ron, and Hermione. This is where they took classes on: playing, being cute, cuddling, and stealing people’s hearts. It didn’t take long before they found their forever homes.

That’s not where the story ends. In late September, the mother returned! But this time, the ghost wasn’t alone. She was visibly pregnant, again. We also started seeing another white-ish cat on camera. Could this be another ghost cat? Is this the dad? A sibling? An older kitten from another litter? We never knew when that cat would show up.

With the help of the Felix Felici potion, we slowly started gaining their trust. On October 12th, momma followed us right into our holding space and we were able to get her set up in a room to herself. At that point, it was like she had drank polyjuice potion. She went from being elusive to super friendly. She started rolling around and begged for attention.

When we let Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s foster know that we caught mom, they welcomed her with open arms. To continue the theme, they named her Molly. On October 24th, Molly welcomed four more magical lives into the world: Freddie, Georgie, Ginny, and Fleur.

Of course you can’t have a Weasley family without a dad. Over the weekend, the other white-ish cat appeared. He must have left his cloak of invisibility at home. With the magic of food and patience, we scooped him up and brought him into our building. We had to name him Arthur and he is just as sweet as Molly.

✨Their journey has truly been nothing short of magical. ✨

But even in the wizarding world, caring for little lives takes resources—not spells.

To spay/neuter, vaccinate, combo test, and deworm this growing magical family, we face costs over $1,500. We could really use a few loyal members of the Order to help us continue this journey.

We apologize for the delay in posting kitties (many are posted on Petfinder). My mom (Amie) has been very ill and is rapidly declining 💔. We have nearly 50 kitties in the rescue and while posting has slowed down, vetting has not. Many kitties will be available soon so stay tuned!

But for now, here is an update on Theodore (male) and Frankie (female).

Both came to us as bottle babies and once the foster started transitioning them to kitten food, she noticed Theo was having trouble passing stool. We tried adding miralax, probiotics, dewormer, etc, but that was not enough. We spent a night in the ER unsure if we would have to make the difficult decision to let him go. Diagnostics would have cost us thousands which was not in our budget, however, we were given the option to try Lactulose and Cisapride and hope for the best.

We are happy to report Theo is thriving! As he started gaining weight, we had to increase the doses for both medications. For the past two-three weeks, he’s been stable. Irondequoit Animal Hospital said we can stop one medication and if all goes well, Theo can stop the other one today! We are hopeful that he continues to stay stable without needing these medications for life.

Dr. Kalis said his GI issues may have been an issue with his diet, parasite load, or something else but he is not suspicious of megacolon anymore. We can neuter him at any time! We are so thankful for everyone at Irondequoit - from the CSRs, ACAs and Drs, they have been amazing about helping our little guy 💜

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as we hope that he stays stable. Huge shout out to his foster for not only treating him, but also for advocating all of his needs. She truly saved his life!

Funds are low and we have many kitties to spay/neuter and vaccinate - including Theo and Frankie. Please consider donating. Even a $1 adds up quickly.

Theodore is doing very well on Cisapride and Lactulose! He is 2.5 lbs now!

Last week, as he grew, he started having GI issues again so his dose for both medications was increased and that resolved the issue for now. We still suspect it’s more than just constipation but without diagnostics, we don’t really know.

For now, Theodore is happy and that’s all that matters! Huge thank you to the Drs at Irondequoit Animal Hospital. They have all been so helpful and worked within our budget constraints to help keep Theodore alive and comfortable 😻

Also, thank you to everyone who donated towards his care. You all helped save his life 💜

🌸 Meet Aurora 🌸

Aurora is a stunning 2-year-old kitty who’s as sweet as she is resilient. She loves being around people (kids included!), soaking up pets, and spending her afternoons watching “Bird TV." She’s playful and affectionate in her own way. While she’s not much of a lap cat, she’ll happily curl up on the couch next to you to keep you company. 💜

Aurora does fine with other cats, though she prefers her personal space, and she’s been thriving at the Pawsitive Cat Cafe. Dogs are still a mystery, but with her easygoing personality, we think she could adjust with time.

🐾 Aurora’s story: She was heartbreakingly left behind in an apartment for almost a week with her three tiny kittens. They had no access to food, water or litter. Thankfully, we rescued them just in time. All her babies have since found homes, and now it’s Aurora’s turn to find a forever family who will never let her down.

She’s healthy, spayed, fully vetted, and ready to start her next chapter. Could that be with you?

📍 Meet Aurora at The Pawsitive Cat Cafe!

🍪 Meet Kookie Krisp! 🍪

Are you looking for a cat who loves literally everything? Well, Kookie Krisp (aka KK) might just be your soulmate. This 2-year-old queen has mastered the art of belly rubs, biscuit-making, and giving you her best resting grump face… but don’t let that fool you—she’s a total sweetheart! 💜

🐾 Likes: Dogs, cats, kids, people, snacks, belly rubs, cuddles… you name it, she’s here for it.
🐾 Dislikes: Uh… nothing? She’s purrfect.
🐾 Bonus fun fact: She even loves going to the vet. Yes, really.

KK is a friendly CHONK with a big personality. She doesn’t mind dogs (even the giant ones!) and is fine living with other cats—as long as they respect her personal bubble. 🫧

💊Medical note: KK has one little quirk—she needs daily eye drops for high eye pressure in one eye. She’s been a champ about it for over a year, and it’s super easy and affordable to manage. Honestly, she doesn’t let it slow her down one bit.

Background: She was originally ear-tipped as a “feral,” but when it turned out she was a lovebug in disguise, we scooped her up!

Now she’s hanging out at The Pawsitive Cafe- Downtown Rochester's First Cat Cafe waiting for her forever family. Come meet this snuggly biscuit-maker and you might just fall in love!
