One of Butterscotch’s favorite things to do is to sit on her perch facing the sun and soaking in those fresh rays. She is such a sweet girl who likes attention from humans but is content with spending time just hanging out. Butterscotch wants to find her forever home for the holidays. If that home might be yours find out more about Butterscotch at ahimsasafehaven.org/adoptbutterscotch

Hey, there Little Bear we know you still aren’t very fond of humans but we are happy that you are healthy and safe even when you are quick to let us know that we are in your space. 😅 As a former feral, life started hard but since coming to us back in January 2023, he has been slowly warming up to humans being around even if it's just in passing or getting work done. Not only do we want him to be safe and healthy but also happy and we can make his life easier. We’re here for you Little Bear. 💗

A common misconception about FeLV-positive cats is that it is generally seen as a death sentence in shelters because of the additional care that FeLV cats need however FeLV cats can live long and happy lives through the management of their health and monitoring for any sickness. So many good kitties are given up on because of this but it doesn’t have to be that way! Although FeLV cats require additional care they deserve the same level of love and care that all cats deserve. Our FeLV residents remind us every day that they are just as special and important as all other kitties.

One question that always comes up around this time of year is what it means to be thankful. We have so much to be thankful for here. Thankful for the safety and comfort that we can provide for everyone. We are thankful for every one of our residents and how they have touched all of our lives in so many different ways. We are thankful for everyone’s support in the community, allowing us to continue to provide the love, care, and enrichment our residents need. So as the holiday season nears what are you thankful for?

Ahh, where do I even begin on Crackle? He’s such a cool guy never the one to turn down some good head pats or cuddles from humans. If you don’t catch him strolling up to you one paw at a time looking for a good pet, you’ll find him lounging around in one of his many favorite spots. I would love for Crackle to find his forever home but he has feline diabetes and has to have it cared for properly don’t let that deter you from thinking Crackle is down about it! Despite his medical condition, he is hopeful to find his forever home where he can share his love 💕
If you want to learn more about Crackle or know someone who would like to be that forever home please visit: https://www.ahimsasafehaven.org/adoptcrackle

Everyone meet Juno.
A few days ago I received a call from someone saying they had found an injured chicken. They sent me pictures of a hen with a large wound on her throat, and said she had shown up in their backyard. I told them to bring her on over. About an hour later, she arrived and was in great spirits. She walked, talked and ate normally, and you’d never guess she had a large chunk of her neck missing. She was excited about the grass, and immediately began tearing chunks off to eat. I went inside to get meds and bandaging supplies, and when I came back out, I realized that blades of grass were actually coming out of the hole in her neck.
Huh. This complicates things. Her esophagus is severed, and she’s honestly quite lucky that whatever happened to her (predator? human?) didn’t slash her trachea as well. The first stop after a chicken’s mouth is their crop, sort of a holding pouch for their food while they wait for it to digest. But with a severed esophagus, that pathway is disrupted. So she can eat, but without a path to her crop, she would have starved to death if infection didn’t take her first.
Juno is now being strictly and *very carefully* tube fed while we keep her neck clean, wrapped, and hope it can heal. She is on an antibiotic and 2 pain meds, and seems to be doing well. Esophaguses (esophagi?) apparently aren’t stretchy like other tissues in the body are, making them difficult to repair. Our avian vet gives her a 50/50 chance of it healing on its own. If it doesn’t, we will have to look at other options, but none of them are without risks or complications, so keep your fingers crossed this sister can repair things her own way.
Wound pics are at the end of the group so people who don’t want to see them can scroll on by.
Juno is now safe, and warm, and has a nice full crop. We love her already and are very hopeful that her future will look a whole lot better than her past.

Pearl was one of our adoptables that was adopted by her forever home back in August and has found love and affection in her forever home!

Recently, we were in contact with her adoptive family and this is what they had to say about Pearl! “After we adopted Pearl back in August, it took her two months to finally come upstairs from the basement during the day. She was coming up at night to snooping and play with our other cat but she would not come up during the day.
She now is making huge strides and coming upstairs and staying. She's not afraid of our big Weimer dog but they're still learning each other. Tonight, she spent the evening following me around and actually jumping up and joining me in my living room chair. She has taught me patience because I've never adopted a grown cat let alone one that had been a feral. She is quickly becoming a huge part of our family and is a sweetheart! No regrets at all on adopting her.”

We are forever grateful to all of our adoptive families and are so happy to hear about Pearl’s progress! 😻

Beaker is one of our most photogenic winged residents and you can always catch him ready for a photoshoot. He came to us in September of 2021 and is always so spunky and full of energy. He originally came here for a few reasons, one of them being that he has a crossbeak which made him unable to be bred and because of that he was deemed to have no value. Just like every living being his life is important, and he was able to make a new home here at Ahimsa where he has since been living happily.

Rufus is one of our resident FeLVies who has been with us since the summer of 2021. He likes to see you on his own terms and his favorite form of communication is hitting you to let you know when he’s amused, when he’s had enough, or just in general 🤣 Many people think a cat being diagnosed with Feline Leukemia is a death sentence but simply isn’t true although it requires special care FeLV positive kitties can live a long happy life just like our resident grump Rufus.

When life can get out of hand sometimes all you need is a good snuggle session 💕

Molly, Teddy, Harriet, and Capone love a good snack 🎃

Is it time for a nap yet? 😴

Snap is one of the most lovable kitties and he is still looking for his forever home If you or someone you know would like to adopt Snap please visit ↪️ ahimsasafehaven.org/adoptsnap

Agatha is home and feelin preeeeettttty good (ie still kinda drunk). The surgery went well, but the news isn’t great. She was already spayed, which kills me in some ways because it means she used to be loved. She escaped, or maybe her human passed away, or she was rehomed and then those people didn’t turn out to be as stellar. I wonder if they looked for her. But she probably had a taste of the good life at one point. And then her life got very hard and scary. Anyway, that’s not even the bad news. Her intestines are extremely inflamed. The vet said they were so big they “belonged in a German shepherd.” He suspects cancer. 😞 We sent out biopsies, so hopefully we will know more soon. Her fecal test also revealed she has giardia, hook worms, lung worms and tape worms. I’m secretly hoping that her severe parasite load combined with starvation is what caused such severe intestinal damage. I don’t know if that’s actually even realistic, but I’m holding out hope until we get the biopsy results. She’s really happy tonight. The last couple days she’s been happy. The purrs are endless. I *just* quit sleeping on the cot with Minky because my back couldn’t handle it anymore, but I’ve had a few good nights in my own bed so I think I’m going to set up down with Agatha again in case this is it for her. She seems like the kind of cat who would like to sleep in bed with a human. She is really such a darling girl. I really, really hope she has more time. 🙏🥺

Meet Crackle! I am the most happy and friendly kitty you will ever meet! I love humans and I love being held. In my perfect world I would just sit on someone’s lap and be pet all day! The reason I haven’t found my forever home yet is because I am a diabetic. I require insulin shots twice a day, 12 hours in between doses, and special prescription canned and kibble food to help maintain my sugar levels. I am such a good kitty, though, I will be rolling on my belly for pets while getting my shot! (Seriously! He is SUCH a love bug!) 🥹❤️ We believe Crackle would do best in a home that is not too busy and with someone to give him the love and attention he so deserves! Crackle’s diabetes can be maintained and he can lead a happy, long life. He is expected to need his insulin shots and special food for life, as well as regular blood sugar monitoring and vet check-ins. Anyone with past experience or who is willing to learn more about what daily and emergency care might look like please apply! Crackle is the sweetest boy ever and he SO deserves a home and human of his own ❤️ If you’re interested in adopting Crackle, please fill out our adoption application online! www.AhimsaSafeHaven.org/Adopt Can’t adopt?
