While some larger organizations and shelters obtain funding from the city, county, or other organizations/sponsors, most of your small local rescues fund everything out of pocket or with donations. With the nonstop kitten season this year, we have fixed roughly 200+ cats, found homes for many friendlies, and placement for many non-friendlies. Without help and support from our community, none of this would be possible. All donations help!

We have been working on colony tote shelters- if you've got any of these style totes hanging around that you don't need, please let us know! These shelters are going to colonies we are currently working, and will last a couple years with straw being replaced. They are lined with 1/2 inch panel insulation on the bottom and all the sides. These are 27 gallon totes (but bigger is no problem!) and can house a few cats to maximize heat retention inside. 🍋

It's the unfortunate reality folks. And spay and neuter is the only solution that will effectively manage this.

This is why we are a kitten nursery! To save and spay! 😺❤️

Our hope for Christmas (and Giving Tuesday) is to raise $2,000 to help us be funded and ready to hit the ground running once we get our first TNR request in the spring. Spring TNR consists of lots of pregnancies, in heat charges, and of course, kittens. If you value the work we do, please share, donate, spread the word however you can! We need your help to continue our work!

Hello everyone! Our friends are looking for a foster home for a medical case kitty. All financials will be taken care of, but the kitty needs a safe place to continue his recovery. He currently has no use of his back legs, but can feel them. And he will have a wheelchair. If anyone can assist with fostering this sweet lemon orange boy, please reach out to our friends at Claws & Toe Beans ! 🍋 ❤️

UPDATE: I think we found a foster, but please let me know if you want to help with him. He will need a team!

Hello, friends! Is anyone open to fostering a medical need kitten? If you might be open to it, please email me.

The holidays are creeping closer and we will unfortunately see a lot of people seeking cute animals to be Christmas gifts- which is entirely okay when the recipient is aware of the animal, and is involved in bringing the animal home, and is also committed to caring for the animal for the duration of its life.

🙀 It is *not* okay when it's a surprise, and there's no planning for that animal to come home long term. It's not okay to gift an animal to "replace" another animal without the recipient being aware, or to be a consolation prize to be gotten rid of later once the shiny newness has worn off.

It's a lifetime commitment.

Attention!!! Pibbles are some of the most backyard bred dogs in the nation, and they line shelter kennels more than any other breed. While this isn't TNR related- it is an important announcement that could benefit so many dogs! Please, if you need to get your pibble fixed, take advantage of this spay/neuter event and do your part to help lessen overpopulation and unnecessary suffering! 💛

Wondering what the Lemon Farm has been up to this week? We spent most of Tuesday collecting kitties to go get fixed at Tcap's feral fix day. We were able to get 22 kitties fixed yesterday and 1 leftover kitty done today! 13 came from 1 colony and a combined 10 from 2 other colonies! These feral fix days allow us to spay and neuter more effectively, and address larger colonies more efficiently. None of this would be possible without the efforts of TCAP, and combining efforts of caretakers and The Lemon Farm!

These 23 surgeries cost $345, which is an absolute deal! If you'd like to contribute towards our efforts of lowering overpopulation of stray and community cats, please donate if you can!

Happy National Cat Day! In celebration of cats everywhere, we are asking you to consider making a donation to your local rescue groups. Every little bit helps. If everyone donated even just a dollar, it would all add up and make a huge difference. Help us help them! 🍋😺🐾

This is why we always adopt out kittens in pairs if there are no other young cats in the house. Kittens need another cat to teach them when they're playing too rough or biting too hard. Yes, your dog may be a great playmate for a kitten, but it still does not teach a kitten how to cat.

Do you want a cat that bites and jumps on your hands? Meows excessively? Bites your ankles? Scratches objects that aren't their cat tree? Or other destructive behaviors? Of course you don't. That's why rescues and shelters nationwide strongly recommend against adopting a single kitten if you have no other pets in your home. A single kitten adopted into a home without any other young cats will most likely develop Single Kitten Syndrome.

Single Kitten Syndrome is a result of kittens not socializing with other cats. No matter how much you try, humans cannot teach cats how to be a cat. They learn that from other cats! Kittens with single kitten syndrome will grow up and become cats that might bite or swat at you, not out of malice, but because they are trying to play. They may tear up items in your home because they are bored and looking for ways to entertain themselves while you are away.

The unfortunate reality is that single kittens are often returned to shelters once they grow up, and their behaviors are no longer cute. This makes them adult cats that have a much harder time being adopted.

That's why at Simply Cats if you don't have any other young cats at home, we HIGHLY recommend adopting a pair of kittens OR an adult cat. If you have other young felines at home, you can certainly adopt one kitten, because they will still learn to be a cat. If you’re unsure which is the right fit for you, our adoption team will work with you to find the right match.

Look at the lovely pets that showed up for the Petsense adoption event and costume contest this past Saturday! The very last cat in the post is one of our babies that got adopted this year! The family has since been adopted by another little kitty, and that's the little torbi above our Bongo. Vote for who you think is cutest in their costume and give the store's page a follow! 😺🧡🍋

Y'all!!!! We have raised so far just over half of Liam's surgery cost! Between PayPal, Cash app, and FB, we have raised $386 of $730. Our work is dependent on the kindness and support of our community, and we are so lucky to have the support we do.

This year we have nearly fixed 200 cats, which surpasses our number from last year. During our TNR adventures, we sometimes come across cases like Liam's, and we refuse to turn away despite knowing the uphill battle it will be to raise funds. Every single dollar goes to helping Johnson county cats. 🍋🍋🍋

Heavenly Purrsuits Rescue is needing some support for these littles! Their poor little eyes have some pretty rough trauma to them and she's expecting enucleation (removal of the eye) for them.
