*** Updates-Lola has been adopted & Sugar is pending. That leaves spice & Nala who are a bit shy. They need a safe space and patience to open up.Both will be amazing additions to any family!****

These babies need homes-the multi-colored tabby kittens are both up for adoption. They are ready for and need homes right away. Spayed, shots updated and microchipped. They are about 3-4 mos old and were rescued in Bellevue. UPDATE!! The mostly white tuxedo kitty is back up for adoption.

These babies are from left to right Spice, Lola, Nala & Sugar in front.

This is happening too often in our area as well.

This year has become unhinged with abandonment. 🛑 STOP abandoning your pets.

EVERY decision you make in your life, has a good consequence or a bad consequence… it doesn’t matter if it’s a decision about money, a decision about what you eat, a decision who you spend your life with, a decision to get a pet, a decision to abandon a pet, etc.,… eventually that decision comes with a good or bad consequence. Think about that, and choose wisely. Poor decisions always have a way of catching up with you, in some way, shape, or form.

Please stop the abandonment 🙏 They are living beings who don’t deserve this - look for better options or different ways that will hold good future consequences for you, and your pet.

Shared with me to try and get this baby off the streets.

Hi,
He is a stray that has been living near my home for about a year now, so I decided to take care of him and give him food and shelter each day. He is basically an outdoor cat but needs a good home. I have cats already and can’t keep him permanently. I can continue to take care of him for now.
I appreciate any help thats offered!

Finder says this dude is very friendly and needs a place indoors!

Application to adopt (message me so I look for it!)

❤️❤️Adopted together❤️❤️These babies need a new foster asap! They are so heartbreakingly cute and so so sweet. Our foster cannot foster any longer so they are needing a soft landing. Would love a foster to adopt and to have them placed together. They are very bonded. One boy & one girl Athena & Apollo. We will neuter both soon!

ADOPTED This baby is at the Completely Cat Clinic and needs a new foster or home asap!

From her current foster-“She was an owner surrender at our clinic for going outside the box. She has had a few owners. But I wanted to try to foster her and keep her and since I've had her, she is going in her litter box consistently for the last 2 months, but she is very aggressive to my two cats. We are trying to give her medication to calm her down at the moment. She is 6 years old, Russian Blue who is spayed female. No other health concerns.” This beautiful girl needs a safe, quiet home with no other cats. If you can help foster (even temporarily) or foster to adopt, you could really change her life. Look at that beautiful face!

We are taking 7 cats to get neutered tomorrow. If you’ve ever wanted to help but,we’re not sure how-this is the greatest need today. Foster home for our orange friend and foster/adoptive homes for 6 kittens. (Will be a couple of weeks before they are fully ready)We could also use donations-each spay/neuter is at least $50. The more you can help the more we can do!

PLEASE do not refer to a friendly cat as "feral" simply because he lives outside. The word feral means the exact opposite 🔁 of friendly and describes temperament ONLY.

Feral DOES NOT refer to a cat who is:
❌ Dirty
❌ Ear-tipped
❌ Homeless
❌ Unaltered
❌ Injured

🤔 A feral cat can be all those things, but those things don't make him feral.

❗️ The words feral and friendly describe temperament ONLY ❗️

Feral DOES refer to a cat who is:
🐈‍⬛ Unhandleable
🐈‍⬛ Unsocialized to humans
🐈‍⬛ Fearful of people
🐈‍⬛ More comfortable visiting at night

You may be asking yourself, "What difference does it make?".

Since adult "feral" cats are not socialized to people, they are likely to be euthanized if brought to shelters, so it is in their best interest to continue living outdoors. TRAP NEUTER RETURN is their best option for a better life. "Friendly" outdoor cats who are thriving and don’t have identification indicating they are lost can be fixed and returned to their outdoor home or fostered and adopted after a stray hold period.

If you have found and rescued kittens, you may be wondering how to catch the mom cat. 🤔

It is super important to make that effort! Do not just scoop up kittens and move on! 🚫 Leaving the mother cat behind leads her to the exact same fate in just a couple of months.

If kittens are around, it’s very likely the mama is around, even if you haven’t physically seen her. It is not typical for a whole litter of kittens to be abandoned.

So how do you go about finding her❓Place the kittens in a trap or carrier at the location you found them. Place a set trap in front of the carrier or trap the kittens are in and bait it with food as normal. Placing a sheet over the traps/carrier creates a little “tunnel” straight to her babies!

And here’s the important part - go away. 😂 Mama cat is not coming back with a scary human lurking around. Let the kittens and the trap do the work for you. If you are able to go inside and monitor from a window or get in your car, that would be best.

Good luck and happy trapping!

Edit for clarification: Going away doesn’t mean leaving the area and the trap unattended. NEVER leave a trap unattended. It means don’t stand there expecting mom to walk in the trap with you watching. Go inside. Monitor from a window. If you are at a public location, park somewhere you can still see the trap and wait in your car.

If you are giving away free kittens, with no adoption process, you are taking a HUGE risk with your kittens‼️All you want is a “good home” for them, but here are your obstacles:

1. PEOPLE WILL LIE TO YOU. 😕
I’ve done it myself to get kittens out of a bad situation! AND it was easy, because the right questions were not being asked.

2. PEOPLE WITH BAD INTENTIONS LOOK FOR FREE KITTENS. 😭
These folks will DEFINITELY lie to you, often having someone more trusting pose as the adopter instead of themselves. Snake food, dog fighting, abuse, etc. Is this the majority? I don’t think so, but these people DO exist and it’s important to ask the right questions to potential adopters to be able to spot them.

3. YOUR KITTENS DESERVE MEDICAL CARE. 🤒
If you love your kittens, you want to be sure that they are dewormed, flea-treated, microchipped and vaccinated at the proper ages. You also want to be sure that your adopter will be able to afford to have them spayed or neutered before they reach sexual maturity (around 4 months of age) or be able to handle an emergency vet bill should one arise. If they can’t afford a small adoption fee, there’s a good chance they won’t be able to afford proper vet care the kitten NEEDS.

4. KITTENS MAY BE RETURNED. 🐈
As an individual, you are not accustomed to rehoming animals everyday. Take it from shelters and rescues… animals are returned for a variety of reasons. Where shelters and rescues have the ability to take them back, you, as an individual, may not. This is a bad situation for the innocent kitten as no one wants it.

If you do not have your mama cat spayed ASAP and you are giving away free, unaltered kittens, you are linking yourself to the huge overpopulation crisis that shelters and rescues are working so hard against everyday. ❌ You HAVE to look at this with a different perspective… the problem is so much bigger than just you and your litter of kittens.

If you are in Lynchburg or the surrounding counties and need help fixing a kitten or cat over the age of 3 months, please send us a message. WE ARE HERE TO HELP! If you are elsewhere, use google to find some resources in your area that may help. 🤓
