BRAVO and ROO. Bonded pair looking for their forever home ❤️ Both boys are neutered and up to date on shots.

We recently learned after trying to send Bravo to a new foster home, that he and Roo are most likely a bonded pair. What is a bonded pair?

According to different references online, it is suggested that bonded pairs may be happier, healthier and more well-behaved! Plus, you get DOUBLE the snuggles and DOUBLE the fun!

Let’s just say Bravo and Roo instantly snuggled and have been inseparable since Bravo’s return. If you would like to meet these boys, please reach out to us!

We wanted to share that we had to make a hard choice to transfer the kittens we had in our care to Homeward Bound in Middlebury. There are currently only 2 people caring for the cats alongside our children and our jobs, so we currently don’t have the capacity to take in or care for kittens. We hope in the future we will be in a better position to accept kittens again, but right now we can’t accept any kittens, as hard as it is to not take them when someone needs help. We do have a couple other great organizations that we can refer you to that have a larger capacity for kittens, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you find yourself needing help, we will do what we can!

Introducing: The Addams Family Bunch!!! ❤️
Morticia (calico), Wednesday (grey), Uncle Fester (white), Pugsley (orange) and Gomez (black and white with a mustache!)

These adorable babies got their first shots on Monday, dewormer and flea meds. Similar to the others, we will continue for 2 more appointments where they will have their second and third distemper shots and when they’re big enough, their rabies vaccine and spay/neuter!

Our sponsor posts will be coming out soon, but that doesn’t cover the costs in vet appointments and medicine we are paying for now. So right now, we are asking for donations towards these vet bills! Any help is greatly appreciated and helps us keep going.

Please be patient with us because we still have kitten applications to go through and vet checks to do! We want to make sure each kitten is happy, healthy and goes to the best home that fits his/her personality!

The “Fairy Tale” litter had their first shots on Friday, dewormer, and flea treatment!

They are scheduled for their second set of shots in a couple weeks, then shortly after that, they will be getting spayed/neutered with their last set of shots. Then off to their forever homes they go! ❤️❤️❤️

We will be introducing the other litters soon, but at this time since donations have been slow, we are asking if anyone would like to help with the kittens vetting and also sponsoring each kittens spay/neuter! Their spay/neuter will also cover the costs of their last set of shots (3rd distemper and rabies, ear cleaning, nail trim and microchip!). Sponsor posts will be coming soon!i

We still have applications to go through for the kittens, so stay patient! We appreciate any and all help anyone has given to us in the past and even future donations. We wouldn’t be able to keep doing what we do without you!

I’m at BJ’s until 1! Come say hi!!!

21/05/2024

We went from 5 kittens to 14 in just ONE day! Due to two separate emergency situations, we have taken in two separate litters. So a this time, we are asking for help with wet food specifically! The kittens go though so much as they’re growing! We are also looking for funds to help with their vet care!

We also want to thank whoever donated the bag of dry food that helped tremendously! And also any and all donations that have helped us going forward!

Adopter Update!!!

Big Papa and Blue are absolutely loving their family and their life!! We couldn’t be happier! Big Papa was one of our first cats adopted, which was so exciting because we had mostly worked with kittens before that, and we weren’t sure how it was going to go with socializing adults who had lived outside with little to no human interaction for years. Big Papa was one of our first success stories, and he went to live in Brooklyn with these amazing people, who made the trip back to VT from Brooklyn to adopt Blue a few months later! These boys are so happy and loved, and we love helping make stories like these happen!♥️
