It’s been a very difficult few days here. On Saturday I lost Sq**rt, another one of the new kittens.

I am actively watching and working to make sure that the remaining four kittens stay stable and continue to grow and gain, but none of them are feeling particularly great.

Kittens this young are very difficult to diagnose and know what’s wrong, so caretakers tend to be treating symptoms rather than finding cures. There is just not enough science into the little tiny tots to really know what’s wrong. As of right now, we know that it is not PanLeuk - or it’s not showing a positive yet, but I have suspicions.

Hold a close thought for the four here, and send me some strength. I am exhausted and heartbroken.

I’m devastated.

I’m sorry, sweet bean. We tried. You fought so hard. I thought you were going to make it, but sleep called you louder than I could.

Losing infants crushes my soul every single time. They’re so innocent. They’re so precious. I feel so lucky to hold their little lives in my hands and guide them with safety, love and care. Losing one makes me feel like I’ve failed, and it makes me question every inch of the work I do.

I try to find comfort knowing if they cross the bridge with me, at least they knew love, warmth and a full belly.

But - it never gets easier and I get angrier and angrier as the season goes on, knowing this endless suffering of kittens born in piles, is no where close to ending.

This year is already painful, and I’m more buried than I usually am at this point. I am *desperate* for kitten food and litter. Desperate. Beyond desperate.

If you can help, even a little help goes a long way to keeping the babies who survive, fed and cared for.

In his memory, we will work to save the next ones who come behind him. And then the ones after that…

Happy to all who celebrate!

The only king we recognize on this page is King 👑 Leo, king of kittens, cats and my heart 🫶🏼

Remember - protest peacefully, don’t sit down, ignore disgusting displays of grandeur for someone’s birthday, and, as always, FIGHT FASCISM.

Be still my heart. Or maybe, slow down time? I’m not sure which makes more sense today.

I know, I promised kittens… And this is KIND OF a kitten post, if you picture me as the mama cat and Sawyer as my kitten… So, it’s really a kitten post.

I’m so proud of him. Junior High, even a non-traditional version, is rough. So many changes, so many feelings, so many moments where you think you’re a big kid but you’re still a baby. On top of emotional hurdles, academics really step up when you hit sixth grade - and the biggest for him, was taking his first state tests (and he nailed it). Eeeeevn past that, this year has been a year with some difficult and scary health hurdles, things that will forever change his life ahead, as he learns to navigate the waves of autoimmune disease.

He’s tackled this year with grace, ambition, drive and focus, all while maintaining his joyful spirit.

To my kitten - I am SO proud of you. The happiness you bring to me, the way you inspire me, and the hope you fill me with, lights me deep into my soul.

See ya’ later, sixth grade! Hello, Summer 😎

HEY. HEY!

Yes yes, I know. I’ve been a bit focused on racism, fascism and a hostile takeover of innocent lives in LA by an insane wannabe dictator and his tiny-dicked minions….

BUT. This is *still* a kitten account and by some ridiculous insanity, there are still FIVE KITTENS HERE who aren’t adopted!

WTF is that?! That’s what Mr. Snooty Boop here wants to know. WTAF indeed, Woody…. Indeed.

So! Share this s**t (pretty please) and get these fools homes! And always remember, kittens are a great way to relax after you’ve spent a day protesting TACO 🫡

Kittens are purrfect, palm trees are iconic, and ICE is the actual worst. 💅

Love your neighbors, adopt don’t shop, and abolish the agencies that don’t belong. 😽🌴

If your agency causes more fear than a vacuum cleaner, maybe rethink your existence. 💁‍♀️

A lil’ boop of Friday Sunshine to enjoy with all the *tea* you’ve probably enjoyed in the last 24 hours 🤭

Have I mentioned there are FIVE more kittens left to find their forever homes, including this stud right here? It’s true. If you’d be so kind and share, you’d make my day.

HAPPY 🌈 PURRIDE

Kittens love everyone, and so do we.

May this month (and every month) be a month of joy, unity, inclusion and LOVE 🫶🏼

We see you.
We support you.
We love you.

Love is Love is Love is Love

As Ferris once said, “Life moves fast, but kittens move faster and usually break something while they’re doing it.”

Don’t double check me. That’s the quote. You’re just dealing with the Mandela Effect and sure, we can all wait for you to Google it and discover the movie was always about kittens OR you can just accept it and move on and then realize this rant made you want to add a double stack of tabby insanity to your life, so you too, can have a Day Off (with kittens).

Stop doom scrolling because it won’t make the tornado that life is right now any better, but clicking thru this *adorable* Carousel of Kittens will, who, mind you, look totally alike, so I’m not even going to bother to try to give you the “and this is..” short list of names. Except for Ian and Barley, who are not tabby, and that’s the only info I’m going to give out so you can play a game of, “who the hell is she talking about? Oh wait, I see, they’re not tabby” and then feel good because you won a tiny internet prize.

ANY. WAY. They’re all awesome, You can’t go wrong. As always, we don’t do single kittens because I don’t like bad reviews online about how that one kitten you adopted kept fu€king up your sleep because it was lonely and liked to play at 4am. Kittens come in pairs (two for one pricing, just like a good discount store deal), unless you have a cat you already own and want to p**s off by giving it a new best friend it didn’t ask for.

All adoptable kitties are fully up-to-date medically. Upon adoption I will provide you with their full vet record, as well as the Itty Kitty Kitten Starter Kit. The kit contains a three day supply of all the food they eat, litter materials (for transition at your home), their favorite toys, and an adorbs adoption photo for your fridge.

Share this if you will, so these freaks can G**O of the place, so I can go loiter around bushes to fill this nest back up to the brim with more tiny monsters who like to steal my sleep and paint the walls with their poops.

Y’all. I’m over the s**t. Done. Over it.

I’m sitting here trying to rest my foot after chasing down a stray dog, in traffic, who was in danger - and did so while holding onto my dog, barefoot, because I broke my Croc in the process - and the foot? It has a torn tendon in it, and is wrapped after my weekly visit to my podiatrist, where I get INJECTIONS INTO MY FOOT to handle the inflammation and scar tissue, to avoid surgery over summer when it’s kitten season.

The foot goes well with the Kidney Stone I’m battling on top of the pile of paperwork to do for the end of the school year, the meals I’ve yet to make and errands I’ve yet to run. It’s a very nice partner to the 15 fosters here, some of whom were in quarantine for FU***NG RINGWORM, totally screwing me up. Oh, and Laurel is sick again.

Did I mention the field trips with kids next week I’m overseeing? Or the fact my kid is newly diagnosed with something that is going to change our lives forever? Or the fact my husband is out of town for work? Or the bottle babies that make sure I don’t sleep more than 2.5 hours?

I’ve not yet mentioned the kitten who died in my HAND today OR the fact the rescue bank account is $-221. NEGATIVE. Or the NO FOOD AND LITTER I have.

But - my favorite part? All the trashing being done to me and my rescue because all the Internet Karen’s and Keyboard Rescuers don’t like how I’m dealing with the fu***ng dog and are going after me with all kinds of fake info, to prove a point.

Dudes. I’m tired. I’m in a lot of fu***ng pain. A lot. The rescue is BROKE AS S**T and I’m crying into a cold taco I just finally got to, because it’s been sitting there since 1:15p and I’m too goddamn tired to reheat it.

Please be kind to me.

I’m doing my fu***ng best all while trying not to jump off the roof.

UPDATE:
Based on physical condition and behavior, we now believe this dog was abandonded and will be acting accordingly. We do not need (or want) advice or keyboard warriors. Any such comments will be removed

EMERGENCY POST

Dog found running loose, B73 and Shore Front. Came running up to me and V on a walk. He’s friendly, intact (🙄) and not chipped. He’s in my yard drinking a gallon and eating his weight in food.

The cats are packing suitcases as I type this.

No, we’re not keeping him. Don’t even suggest it, I am NOT in the mood.
