The last foster of 2025 was this wonderful guy, Locomotive (or Bug, as I called him). Locomotive was FIV+, so he was pretty sick when he came to me. His upper respiratory infection cleared up in about a month. Locomotive spent the holidays with me and went to his forever home on Valentine’s Day! Congratulations Locomotive!

My final foster litter of the 2025 was a much-needed complete success story. All 3 babies were heathy upon arrival and through adoption. These perfect love bugs were adopted right before Christmas ❤️

On September 12, 2025, I welcomed my 5th foster litter of the year. After a medically and emotionally challenging experience with my previous litter, Oscar and Olivia, I had hoped this group might bring a lighter chapter. Sadly, that wasn’t the case. The 5 babies, around 3 weeks old, initially appeared healthy, but over the following weeks, they began to pass away one by one. The exact cause was never determined. Only one sweet boy, Pumpkin Pie, survived and was adopted in mid-October. This litter deeply affected me, but each little life taught me lessons I will carry forward with every kitten I care for.

After Oscar lost Olivia, we welcomed Opal in. She was a bit older than him when she arrived (and much healthier) so he had to play catch up for another few weeks, but they ended up being best friends!

As I prepare for kitten season, I realized that I never finished updates from the past season - oops!

These 2 babies came to me at the beginning of June. Unfortunately, the perfect little girl, Olivia, didn’t make it through the first night. Her brother (1st one pictured) was such a fighter and defeated all odds. Little Oscar was adopted in September ❤️

These 4 lovelies were the next foster litter. They had a rough start, but each one pulled through and was adopted shortly after surgery!

These babies were the first fosters of the year. They were only here for a few days before going to their forever homes in Chicago!

Today I bring to you a very overdue update on Emmie! She has done well with us. She prefers to stay to herself most of the time, but definitely living her best life. We’ve been having frequent vet visits to get her hyperthyroidism under control. It’s been a huge struggle to get some meat on her bones. Other than that, she’s been doing great!

Hello friends! I apologize for our absence - to say we’ve been busy this year is an understatement. However, a horrific animal welfare concern in my hometown has taken our focus.

Please be warned that this post contains disturbing information depicting abuse and cruelty to cats.

On February 27, 2025, 3 Jayco RV employees, John Lipscomb, Travis McKay, and Arlin Hochstetler (Elkhart, IN) shoved 2 live cats in a box, taped the box shut, then proceeded to place the box containing the live cats into a trash compactor, which crushed them and killed them. Anyone who knows our mission knows that our goal is to ensure that every cat knows love, comfort, and safety during their last moments on this earth. These unfortunate babies only knew hatred, fear, and pain at the end. I cannot even begin to imagine what it was like to die that way.

Initially, these 3 men were charged with level 6 felonies for torturing / mutilating a vertebrate animal on June 9th. By June 12th, all charges were dropped. The Elkhart County prosecutor Vicki Becker decided that because the cats were somehow “damaging Jayco’s roof”, the domestic cats are considered vermins in under state law, allowing these men to get away with these horrific acts.

We are outraged. We are heartbroken. We are shocked.

Please consider joining this fight for justice by completing this form from Allie Cat Allies. The goal is to get enough signatures to convince the prosecuting office to refile charges. These cats will not be forgotten.
