***Update! Rescue has been secured!***

🆘🆘‼️We are raising the flag for help from another RESCUE. We are not able to add additional foster home locations at this time and all of our fosters are full‼️

3 more neonatal babies were found this morning in a piece of large construction equipment covered in oil. They have been cleaned, fed, and we have a volunteer out to try to catch mom, but we are drowning. Are there any rescues able to take these 3? We just took in 6 other bottle babies and we do not specialize in neonates 😬

…..and again….

These two were found on the side of the road today. 4 fragile little lives saved today but this all could have been prevented if folks would spay/neuter every cat they see

****UPDATE: Mama has been caught! She has beenen reunited with her babies. 🤞 she doesn’tt reject them***

Here we go again… more kitten-napped babies 😭

Meet Marshmallow and Cotton. They were found under a home and taken by the homeowner from their mother. 2 siblings did not survive and these little ones have about a 50/50 chance. Please leave babies alone if you find them! Mother cats are nearby and will care for them.

With kitten season well underway, we are in need of supplies. The biggest need is formula (pic attached of preferred brand/type). Please DM us for where to send or use one of the donate options via Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, etc.

***Update-no luck again today! EVERYONE AVOIDED THE TRAPS! There are 5-6 more in this location that need to be fixed as well. We were originally contacted to just catch this guy but unfortunately we cannot leave a colony unfixed before we leave it. 😭***

Is the 3rd time a charm? We will be heading out for attempt number 3 to get this tough guy. You can see he is not in the best of health but he still has his street smarts in tact and avoided trapping. Today we are bringing out the drop trap 🤞🤞🤞

A little about adoptable Tobias:

⏰ He has been in foster care for almost 5 years… Definitely time for this guy to find a home to call his own!
🫶🏼Tobias is so sweet and prefers the quiet things in life.
🐱He does well around the other kitties in foster care (just make sure you feed him separately 😉)
☺️Tobias is shy at first but good things come to those who wait! He is worth it 😻
☀️ He loves basking in the sunshine and if you have a catio or screen porch, he will love it!
🥰Tobias enjoys pets and attention and will flop in front of you for for them 🦭
🍗 He loves his treats, especially Churu!
🌱 His favorite toys are catnip kickers!
🤍 Tobias is affectionately called Derpy in his foster home 😆
💉As with all adoptable cats, he is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, combo tested (FIV/FELV), neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and on flea/tick prevention

🤍Tobias came from a house where almost 30 cats were TNR’d. We found the friendly ones homes. Out of 13 friendly ones, Tobias is the only one that has not been adopted 😕

🏡 Can we find the purrfect home for this sweet gentleman?

➡️ Swipe to see Sai’s best blep 😛

A little about adoptable Sai:

⏰ He has been in foster care for about 8 months! (Time for this little man to find a furever home)
💗 Sai is super sweet but shy (say ‘shy Sai’ five times fast 😉)
🥰 He loves cuddling with the other foster kitties.
🐱 He is friends with and loves rubbing on our girl Ruby so if you’re looking for a duo, this is your pair!
🐶 Sai gets along with the 2 big dogs in his foster home but they pay him no mind so he would be fine with a quiet dog in the home.
🤫 Sai loves a quiet place to sleep and relax.
🐦 Sai enjoys his cat tv and bird watching.
🧶 Sai loves interactive toys and red lasers.
🐟 Sai LOVES his Churu treats and wet food!
💉 As with all adoptable cats, he is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, combo tested (FIV/FELV), neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and on flea/tick prevention

🥺 Sai got his name because his sad eyes make him look like he’s always *sighing* but we promise he is as happy as they come! 😸 He also looks like Sai from the anime cartoon!

🤍 Sai was found in a hot Bojangles parking lot by a nice lady who feeds strays in that area. She found him scared and all alone… likely dumped. She contacted Tips and Tails and we swooped in to rescue this sweet boy.

One of our partner rescues has some super cuties in foster care right now!!

A few facts about adoptable Ruby:
🐾 She is a polydactyl!! (5 toes instead of 4?? The better to high five you with!)
🌲She loves her cat tree and sitting at the top so she can look over everything.
🧶 Her favorite toys are balls that roll and spring toys that bounce!
🍤 Ruby is food motivated! You open a can or treat bag and she will come running!
🦷 She has had a full dental exam and cleaning!
💉As with all adoptable cats, she is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, combo tested (FIV/FELV), spayed, microchipped, dewormed, and flea/tick prevention

⏰ Ruby came from a tough past. We rescued her almost a year ago from a terrible hoarding situation of 120 cats. When we got her, her bladder had pushed through a hernia in her abdomen. This was sewn up during her spay surgery but unfortunately a little bit later, the vet discovered the hernia repair didn’t hold so she had to undergo ANOTHER hernia repair. This girl has been through a lot in her short life! 💔

❤️‍🩹 BUT that has not stopped Miss Ruby from gradually gaining confidence, learning people can be nice and venturing out of her safe space!

🤎 Ruby is so sweet and loves pets! It takes a little time for her to learn to trust new people, but when she does, her love shines through!

🖤 She has formed a bond with the resident cats and other foster cats, but she tends to retreat when they get too close so she would do best as an only cat or with the slow introduction to a calm, tolerating cat or dog who would allow her to have her own space.

🤍 Ruby just needs a loving, quiet home where she can be shown love and continue to learn that people can be trusted— you will be rewarded for your patience with unconditional love!!

🏡 Could you be the forever home she has always wished for?!?

😻 Remember our past highlight cats of the week? We are at a loss for words because Ruby, Sai nor Tobias have received any inquiries or applications! 😔

Can we share, comment, tag and like to get the word out about these three?

🐱 They can be adopted individually OR Ruby and Sai would make a great pair!

What’s going on with Goldilocks? Well, she had her staples removed and updated labs yesterday - all results came back saying she is absolute perfection! She has also adopted our little orphan babies and is beaming with pride and never leaves their side. She cannot feed them, but she does provide much needed snuggles and grooming for these little ones!

Goldi will be available for adoption once the her and babies are ready. 💕
