Adelie ain’t happy about it, but she’s back up in one of the foster rooms, sharing space with four babies (Pinky, Brain, Yakko, and Wakko). She just kept disappearing into the ceiling of the basement.😂 Every time I discovered a new hiding spot and blocked it, she’d find another. So for my peace of mind, she’s lost free-house-roaming privileges.😅

But, dang, I love her. She’s just so sweet.🩷

Another litter of future Campers were born this weekend - seven tiny nuggets!🥰

We are bringing in two female (not pregnant) cats from this property for spays on Wednesday this week. Thank you to all who have donated recently; we’re still trying to ensure we can help with several upcoming spays and also be ready to take on the influx of kittens in 6-8 weeks!😍

(This mama, pictured, will also get spayed once kittens are weaned!)

Just got back from a lovely weekend in Chicago, visiting friends! My awesome petsitter did an amazing job taking care of my crew + all the fosters. And she got some excellent photos! 😆
It was a nice little break from litter box scooping, but I’m very happy to be back home.🧡

This was a first! Dot was struggling to adjust here, lashing out constantly at the younger kittens. I don’t really have a spot for her where she wouldn’t share space with other cats. I’ve been in touch with her owner, who was also having regrets in surrendering her. The main concern was financial (spay & vaccines), but we mutually decided Dot would be happier back with her - so I would her return after her spay today.

*However*, RPAW needed to close abruptly today, so her spay was canceled. We moved forward with her return and now I am getting her scheduled at AHS - closer to home - for her spay & vaccines. She crawled all over her mom as soon as she was in her car - CLEARLY grateful to be back in a familiar lap.💞 While this was a new path for us today, I feel confident we made the right decision for Dot.

Mama Tishy is *appalled* that no one has applied to adopt her yet!😁
She has made herself very comfortable, here: keeping the dogs in their place😏, befriending the other cats, and playing with alllll of the toys. She’s a great work-from-home buddy, snoozing in my office all day. She’s just a gem of a cat!🖤

This lil’ smarty pants somehow popped her collar off this morning, and I walked into a neat little pile of tufts of fur.😕 Poor baby!!
We’re staying the course on meds and prescription food and we’ll be rechecking her urine & bloodwork next week. She is just the sweetest little lady, so I am anxious to solve this for her.🧡

Update on the three that are keeping me awake at night🫠🤪:

🐾Pinky is still not “great”. I’ve treated for presumed parasites, I’m treating for diarrhea, and I’m treating for nausea (to help his appetite) - he’s not losing any more weight, but I’m hoping to see a turnaround this week.

🐾Dot is still in the large kennel and seems to be *less* aggressive towards the littles. I’m hoping she fully chills out soon, so she can break out of prison. She’s a very nice girl - just obviously stressed.😕

🐾Adelie is hanging out in the bathroom.🤣 Thanks(?🤔?) to her discovery of holes, I’m having the air ducts repaired tomorrow and I need to be sure she’s not in them when we close them up.🙃 This is really full circle for her - she and her kittens started out in this bathroom last fall and she would go on top of the medicine cabinet to escape her children.🥰

We need your help!
We have committed to taking three litters of kittens from a local Andover family in the coming weeks. Their daughter has worked hard to get their cat population under control (started with over 20 cats!). This beautiful litter was recently born, and there are two more very pregnant mamas. They are keeping the mamas, but once kittens are weaned, they’ll become Campers.🙂

There are two remaining (not pregnant) females who we are getting spayed this week to prevent any ADDITIONAL litters. This is an expensive undertaking, so if you are able to help, please consider donating!💙

Okay, here’s where we’re at:

🐾 Now that we know “Penny” is a boy, we’ve pivoted to Pinky (he was fine with this😋)
🐾 We took in three new kittens last night - Yakko & Wakko are 8 week old littermates, Dot is their 7 month old sister

It’s been a chaotic morning.

🐾Adelie is back in the air ducts.🫠
🐾Dot is not happy about her new home and is lashing out, so she is in a large dog kennel while she adjusts to her new space and roomies.😬
🐾Pinky is not feeling well and I’m worried about his weight loss, so we started him on some meds today and hope he starts to feel better soon.🫤

How is YOUR Friday going?!?

Penny & Brain got neutered this morning! That’s right - both were NEUTERED. Not spayed. Because I, once again, didn’t even think to confirm genders from what the previous owners told me.😄🤦🏼‍♀️ So Penny’s a gentleman. It’s fine. It’s fine. All fine.😂

I’m also working to get their mama spayed up by their home in Brainerd, so she doesn’t have any more litters. Her owners love her very much, but the cost of a spay is not something they can afford right now. And it’s *less expensive* for me to fund one surgery than take on a whole litter needing surgeries in a couple of months!!

If you’d like to contribute to this lil’ family’s vet bills, it would definitely help us out!!💙

I’m working on finding the most comfortable cone collar option for Sox. I don’t want her over-grooming, but I also don’t want her miserable.
She’s such a good sport - and maybe has a future in modeling(?)☺️😍

26/03/2025

SOMEONE had an adventure today.😑
Since Cinnabon & Daniel Tiger moved out, I’ve been allowing Adelie to free-roam the house vs staying in a foster room. She went “missing” this morning, only for me to discover she accessed the air ducts from the unfinished part of the basement.🤦🏼‍♀️ She wouldn’t let me grab her, so I waited her out - a big girl gonna get hungry eventually. I popped downstairs a bit ago, and she was innocently snoozing on a cat bed (notice three of my cats in the background, wondering how much trouble she’s in😂).

I think I discovered how she got up there and did some rearranging. So she’s getting a second chance at free-roaming. But one more air duct adventure, and she’s moving back in with Penny & Brain!!😄

25/03/2025

Penny & Brain are settling in nicely! They were fairly timid, initially, but “Uncle Trygve” (my gentle giant) has been great in getting them to come out and explore. We had a very active play session last night.🥰

24/03/2025

Our sweet Mama Morticia (or as I call her, “Tishy”) is now available for adoption! She’s been such a trooper as we worked to get to the bottom of her GI issues, but has been doing great for weeks, now - she is ready to find her forever home.

She is very playful and loves to sneak-attack my dogs. 😄 We’re looking for a home with other pets, as she love buddies, but they need to be tolerant of a wild, sassy gal!🤪

24/03/2025

Mini update on our sweet Sox: We are one week into her four weeks of antibiotics to treat her kidney infection and UTI. She hates the meds, but takes them like a champ.💙

She continues to over-groom, so this weekend I decided she needs to wear a cone collar. I HATE using cone collars, but I know this is for her own good.💔

I’m also moving her to a prescription diet, so we can determine if this may be caused by a food allergy. Royal Canin actually makes a diet for food allergies *and* renal support, so I ordered a bag of that, which should arrive tomorrow. I just want her to feel better. She seems quite content, here, and loves when I just sit in her room and give her nonstop pets. She’s SUCH a love.🩷

Meet Penny (tabby) and her brother, Brain (gray)!💙 We’re still working on their photo shoot skills 😄, but these two 3-month olds joined us last night. They spent much of the night exploring their room, so have been pretty sleepy today. We love them already and can’t wait for them to settle in.

For those of who weren’t “Inspector Gadget” watchers in the 80s, Penny was his very clever niece who, along with her dog, Brain, solved many-a-crime.☺️

23/03/2025

Yesterday was a long day! I got up early to deliver Daniel Tiger & Cinnabon to their new home - getting Cinnabon into a carrier takes some strategic planning.🤪 Their adopters have loaded them up with new toys & enrichment - I’m so excited for their new lives. Two little formal ferals, now set up to live a dream life.🥰

I then worked at the vet clinic all day, only to drive 45 minutes last night to pick up two NEW friends!! More to come on them…!!😃

Yakko & Wakko don’t even know how cute they are!!!😍 #kittenrescue #kittens #fosterkittens #animalrescue #cute #animaniacs

They keep asking about “their cut”.🤷‍♀️💰 #fosterkitten #kittenrescue #fostercat #catrescue #cat #kitten #animalrescue

Daniel Tiger is BIG MAD that he’s being forced to live indoors, interact with humans 🤮, and eat all the food he wants.😂 #kittenrescue #catrescue #fosterkitten #kitten #nonprofit #formerferal #whyyoumad

What? You DON’T have bathroom chickens?! Weird. #chickens #housechickens #animalrescue

😢😢

I’m still working on earning Cinnabon’s trust. She’ll gladly come to the edge of her little hidey-hole for Churu.🥰 I love her so much and look forward to moving her out of the dog kennel & allow her the full foster room to play & explore.
