This feels weird to say as a nonprofit who relies on your donations to function, but if folks could please NOT send any packages for the next week that would be a big help! Our driveway is still snowed in and more is coming down. My car made it down once, but not back up. Drivers are not able to make deliveries and I’m trekking necessities uphill. It’s giving Little House on The Prairie meets Miss Havisham-gets-a-sh*t-ton-of-cats. I’m fine, but it’s not cute.

If you’re thinking, oh the poor stranded things, I’ll send them money, please know we would rather you give those funds to the displaced animals and their humans affected by the LA fires.

we are looking at some pretty severe weather in our area..

here's some friendly reminders to help your outdoor cats...

1) line shelter with STRAW ; don't use hay (it'll mold) , don't use blankets / towels they can freeze! straw can be found at some stores & you can also search FB marketplace to find farms selling it.

2) make sure they have plenty of food. i usually stock mine up prior so they can fill up , you can kitten food as well for extra calories. during extreme temps i usually avoid wet food to make sure it doesn't freeze & they can consume it.

3) make sure they have fresh water , some people using heated bowls. for those without that option / don't feel comfortable doing that a great option is the rubber bowls used for livestock. makes breaking out water SO much easier! you can also insert the bowl inside of a tire / something else & pack with straw / rocks. the black takes on heat & the extra acts as an insulator. it's not fool proof but can delay freezing some. make sure to re check water throughout the day.

4) if you are able to & have kittens or eldery cats or sick within your colony who may be harmed by this extra weather , bring them inside or even move them to a garage / out building. ONLY do this if it's an emergency & IF they will tolerate it. containing a cat can increase stress & lead to illness.

thank you to everyone who cares for outdoors cats! they rely on us & have a better life because of those who go above & beyond for them.

In emergency situations, access to an x-ray can mean saving an animals life! Quick x-rays mean our volunteer veterinarians can act with quick, lifesaving measures.

This Giving Tuesday we are launching our campaign to raise $45,000 to purchase an x-ray unit for our low cost clinic that would allow us to provide these life saving diagnostics for the public and rescues alike.
