We're Amazed...Mack and Eden are still looking for their forever home

Mack, brown tabby male , and Eden, orange/white female, met in foster care, arriving from the same shelter and quickly became friends. They play, sleep and hang out together. Mack is confident and very affectionate; the snuggly one of the duo. He'll come right up to you, ready to shower you with love. His outgoing and engaging spirit will warm your heart. Eden takes a minute to decide that you're safe. She enjoys being pet and will purr with delight but likes to keep her feet on the ground ! Her playful spirit will keep you entertained for hours. Available as a pair.😽

There are many highs with rescue but also some of the lowest of lows...

We took Elvira, one of our recent rescues, to be spayed on Friday.
Her heart stopped while under anesthesia; the vet was able to revive her but now she has neurological issues and is blind 😿. According to what I've learned online, this extreme reaction is rare and a significant number of cats do regain some of their sight over a period of weeks. She's so young and doesn't deserve this. Please keep her in your thoughts...hoping she's one of the lucky ones.

BATH TUB PLAYTIME💝
Pearl and her new kitty brother, Arlo, caught in the act of a boxing match.
She has captured his heart and her human's and has gone from foster-to-adopt status to ADOPT.

🐾18 week old Venus is a kitten with a lot of energy and love of play. She has the classic sweet 'n spunky tortie purrsonality...a girl who knows her own mind. She enjoys games of pounce and chase and lots of pets but not currently a fan of being held for long. Venus is already spayed/microchipped and eager to find a loving home where she'll have another young feline companion. Looking to adopt a pair? She's already good friends with Oliver.

💥It's taken a week for Elvira to settle down. We think she might have some abandonment anxiety or just be extra needy. Her foster mom writes: " I think she goes through a bit of separation anxiety during the day when I'm at work, and overnight, because she can be a bit frantic the first time I see her after a number of hours. Then, she calms down. I've been able to hold her, she rolls around and lets me pet her, she purrs, and I'd say at some level she is funny. She'll grab me gently with her paws and no claws, and when she's still, she is so so sweet. She's definitely coming around."

Elvira needs a home where she'll get lots of attention and be free to roam and just be part of a family. Please share her story.

This "Pearl" of a girl is now in a foster-to-adopt home with a previous adopter. Based on the reaction of their other adult male cat who recently lost his buddy cat, we doubt she'll be coming back in to our care💖.

Another successful placement. Suni is now known as "KitKat":

"Kit is doing so well! She really adjusted so fast, she's a good eater, uses her litter box, and is VERY playful. I will say she doesn't drink much water, but I've been adding water to wet food so at least she's getting hydrated that way."

We know that our forever home is out there somewhere....but we need your help to find it. Please share...we've been waiting a long time

Rain and Riley are the most delightful 16-18 week old sisters you'll ever encounter. These adorable litter mates are almost indistinguishable from each other. Both are:
*Adventurous: Always exploring and discovering new places to play.
*Athletic: These agile kittens are always on the move, leaping and climbing with grace.
*Curious: Every little thing fascinates them, and they will investigate with wide-eyed wonder.
*Enthusiastic: They approach life with a joyful spirit and boundless enthusiasm.
*Playful: Riley and Rain can turn anything into a toy and will keep you entertained with their antics.
While it would be their dream come true to find a home where they could remain together, they would be willing to form a new family if you already have another kitten in need of a friend. Please don't let them wait any longer...share with others💖

Some good news...Robbie and Tanner have only been in their new home since Friday but are quickly settling in.

"They love the makeshift perch in our workout room to watch the birds and squirrels at the bird feeder in the backyard. They are such sweet boys! We love them so much and we are very happy we can give them a good home! ❤️❤️"

This is totally unacceptable. 😿 Posted on a Prince Georges County rescue group's page 8/1/24; If you live PG Cty or know someone who does, please share and stand up for the lost and abandoned....

A Cat's Life Rescue
A volunteer brought us these six week old kittens and told us PG County animal shelter turned them away and directed the volunteer to release them back outside, unvaccinated and unspayed and neutered.
How could this be?
Confused, we called the shelter to clarify that this volunteer didn’t mishear anything. A shelter representative told us it was true. Per a new internal policy, PG County animal shelter is turning away friendly stray cats, no matter age or temperament, telling people to put them back outside unaltered and unvaccinated.
Yes, this includes the six week old kittens in this photo, pregnant and unspayed female cats, and everyone in between. They are expecting volunteer groups to pick up the slack.
We’re pretty fired up about this for a number of reasons.
1️⃣ PG County Shelter is funded by taxpayer dollars and is expected to provide a humane and responsible solution for the animals in the county.
2️⃣ Stray cats are NOT feral. While we manage the community cat feral population through TNR, PG is turning away friendly, abandoned, and lost house pets who they are either failing to reunite with their owners, or setting them up for failure outside.
3️⃣ Releasing intact females and kittens outside completely sets back any progress we’ve made over the past few years in spaying and neutering the cats of PG County. Unvaccinated and unspayed, these cats are left to their own devices to procreate and spread disease.
4️⃣ Kittens are missing out on a very small window to integrate indoors and socialize. Releasing kittens as young as SIX WEEKS not only puts their lives at risk, but also means they may not get another shot at finding a home—leaving them to grow up and become a larger part of the problem in growing the community cat population.
We love our community cats, but PG County animal shelter needs to do better and step up for the friendly animals in their community that they are required to care for. If you feel as strongly as we do, you may consider sending an email to Andrea Crooms, director of the Department of the Environment: [email protected]

💥Thank you, thank you to everyone who shared Robbie and Tanner's story.

On July 26th, we posted an urgent plea: " Robbie and Tanner were adopted as tiny kittens four years ago. Unfortunately, due to a recent divorce, these affectionate, bonded 4 yr old boys are in need of a new home as neither of their current caregivers can continue to care for them. " There were 109 shares 💖. A lovely couple who had recently lost their cats saw their post, met them yesterday and found them to be a purrfect match. They are now settling in to their new home!

Elvira is no Mistress of the Dark...but a super sweet, exotic 2 yr old kitty who will be arriving in our care tonight. Unfortunately, she came down with an upper respiratory infection while a resident at a local shelter and won't be immediately available for adoption.🐾

01/08/2024

Suni's on top of the world...or maybe just her scratching post...WHY? She's getting adopted💖💖

31/07/2024

New arrival, Oliver, has quickly settled in to his foster home and is enjoying the freedom of finally being out of a cage and doing all the fun things kittens do💖.

30/07/2024

Suni is checking to see if anyone has inquired about adopting her. Stay tuned.💖
An interested suitor may be coming to meet her soon but we want to surprise her.

🌟 I stand with "childless cat ladies" -Taylor, Betty, and Dolly. I'm one too !

Oliver traveled from No.Carolina to find a better life in the DMV. He is a curious, in-your-face, 14 week old kitten who spends time exploring his world in search of his next adventure! Once playtime is over, Oliver will happily snooze in a lap and is fine being carried in your arms. He loves to rub on ankles and climbs everything. He is a super sweet boy... so endearing and loving! He’s just the happy, bubbly sort. This entertaining and dynamic boy is seeking a home where he'll have another similar minded kitten companion! Unlimited enjoyment awaits the whole family with this kitten.💖

Sweet 'n Spicy

💖3 1/2 mos old Venus thought that she found her forever home. But, the application she received while in the public shelter fell through so we decided to welcome her in to our rescue. She has the classic "tortie" purrsonality...sweet with a little bit of spice.
Venus is already spayed and eager to find a loving home where she'll have another young feline companion.

😿 We were so sad to get this news...
Robbie and Tanner were adopted as tiny kittens four years ago. Unfortunately, due to a recent divorce, these affectionate, bonded boys are in urgent need of a new home as neither of their current caregivers can continue to care for them. Robbie is a handsome orange tabby boy who loves attention. He is a sweet, gentle boy who is extremely loyal & loving. He enjoys hanging out with his humans and always want to be near you. He will follow you around the house and is the first to great you when you return home. A "Garfield" look-a-like, he loves eating, cuddling and has no sense of personal space. Tanner, brown tabby, is also very sweet and affectionate. An aspiring hunter, he enjoys watching the birds and squirrels from his window perch. At nap time, he will often curl up in a ball and cover his face with his paws..very cute! He enjoys playtime especially with his toy mice and anything with a bell or feather. The boys love to hang out with each other and are seeking a new home where they can stay together! They are door greeters and friendly with newcomers; Suitable for homes with children and other pets.

💖 We need your help to find them a place to stay and a new "forever" home.

4 mos old Pearl spent 38 long days in a crowded local shelter after being found as a stray. She was more than ready for her cage-break...and we are happy to give her that chance. Expected to arrive on Thursday, we're looking forward to getting to know her. While at the shelter, she contracted an eye infection which we will aggressively treat like we did for the others. This photo was taken upon her arrival at the shelter when she was healthy...😿

🐾Fluffy Kitten Alert

Mack, brown tabby male, and Eden, orange/white female, met in foster care, arriving from the same shelter and quickly became friends. They play, sleep and hang out together. Mack is confident and very affectionate; the snuggly one of the duo. He'll come right up to you, ready to shower you with love. His outgoing and engaging spirit will warm your heart. Eden is a bit shy and still learning that the world is not a scary place. She's making progress but it takes a minute for her to decide that you're safe. She enjoys being pet and will purr with delight but likes to keep her feet on the ground ! Her playful spirit will keep you entertained for hours. These 10-12 week old friends love chasing toys and each other with enthusiasm that only a kitten can muster! Best of both worlds! These cuties are a package deal, and they must be adopted together.

Newly Adopted Kittens...

The kittens are doing great.💖 We renamed Rascal to Stanley but kept Ridley the same.
Ridley has been a bit shy and has found a spot under the bed but she's getting more comfortable the past day or two and is very sweet when she does let us pet her. Stanley is still a bundle of energy and loves to play with all his new toys and wands. They love sitting in their cat tree or the windowsill napping and looking out at the world from the 15th floor. They both seem to love their new home and we love taking care of them so much. Thanks so much for checking in and helping us bring them into our home!
