IMPORTANT UPDATED INFO!
Finding a "unicorn-adopter" got a bit easier! We just learned that Pom Pom only needs physical therapy every so often, not every day! Hurray!!! She also uses a low-sided litter pan perfectly. No litter, just a pad in the pan!
-----------------------
Are you a Unicorn Adopter? If so, please come forward. Unicorns are the toughest adopters to find because they not only go above and beyond for their cats, but they can provide the next level of care for one very special kitty.

Pom Pom Pomegranate is up for adoption. This year-old, fully vetted, special-needs sweetie has been receiving physical therapy for the past year. It's gone from 45-mins twice a day to just 15-minutes twice a day! Pom is quirky, goofy, sweet, and lovable, and so easy to handle.

Check out our Petfinder listing for all the details of our dream-adopter, along with more information about Pom Pom.

We know you're out there somewhere. We have faith Pom's forever family is out there! Know anyone who fits the bill? Send them Pom's listing!

Who is the cutest one of all? Dot Dot Dot is ready to be adopted! Hurray! After careful consideration, we have realized that Dot will be just as happy in a home of her own, without her having to be adopted with her sister Pom Pom Pomegranate (so Pom can continue to get the specialized care she needs with us). This is great news!
More about Dot:

Dot Dot Dot is a one-year-old spayed female calico. She is vivacious, energetic, curious and playful. She gets along well with other cats, but can sometimes be a boss-lady due to her playful antics. Dot would do best in a home with another cat or two, especially ones that are younger and enjoy playing. Did we mention Dot has a lot of energy?

Dot is an explorer and is social and friendly. With her kookie markings and great personality, she truly shines.

Please note, we are a fresh-fed rescue, so that means not feeding kibble or canned. Fresh diets are available at most pet stores. Why do we do this? One big reason is, there are no smelly "presents" in the litter pan! For your cat, there is improved health and vitality. Dot will come with a one-month supply of food.

In 2010, we rescued a litter of sick kittens, one of whom we named Polly Picklepuss. We were a new rescue, with hearts filled with passion and excitement, that these little ones would escape a kill-shelter, and one day find their forever homes. We never thought we'd still be here 15 years later, with our hearts aching, too. Polly found her family and grew into a beautiful lady. Her family cherished her and gave her everything she needed. Sadly, Polly got cancer last year, and after treatments could no longer provide quality of life, her family gave her a peaceful and loved passing. We send her family, Paula and Ed, and Polly's furry family our love during this heartbreaking time. Fly free sweet Polly. It was an honor to rescue you.

Pom Pom and sister Dot Dot Dot had a big adventure. Yesterday we met Dr. Dycus,. He is an orthopedic surgeon. His practice is spotless and beautifully designed. His staff is friendly and accommodating. The good doctor gave us wonderful suggestions and really cares about Pom and her future. He noticed that Pom needed better support on her right front leg which meant we needed to get a custom orthotic boot made for her. He also suggested getting her a little cart. Having her use the cart for part of each day will help alleviate the bad, twisting her spine suffers because her left back leg cannot retract on its own. Dr. Dycus, also suggested we meet with a second physical therapist, as well as to get in touch with the folks at My Pet's Brace who could create the custom brace. In our next post we’ll go into more detail. Instead of a quick trip to Maryland and back we made an important pitstop.

Big news: this weekend we are taking pom-pom and her sister Dot to Maryland. We’re going to meet up with a top orthopedic veterinary surgeon. Though we have already had two board certified surgeons meet and examine Pom, we want one more final review of her case. Everyone on her team has worked very hard, has had varying thoughts about what we should do for her future. every single person I respect very much and appreciate very much. Because Pom has such severe disability, at the end of the day, there may not be anything more we can do. We’re pretty close to that point now, but we feel that Dr. Dycus, may have options that we have not considered. We literally go the distance for our foster cats. No matter what it takes. No matter how much work. Each one deserves everything we can provide for them. stay tuned for an update early next week.

It’s not a happy day here. Today we begin chemotherapy on our sweet, very first rescued, mama cat, Mabel Baby. A few weeks ago, we discovered very tiny nodules in her lungs. They’re not in a place where we can do further testing so we have to assume it is likely lung cancer. We did a CT scan and it showed there is no cancer anywhere else. Our oncologist suggested we start Palladia in the hopes it will help. We know it’s likely to cause side effects. We’re worried it will make Mabel feel lousy. If she does not have cancer this won’t change anything so we will do testing every few weeks to see if there is any increase or decrease in the masses. As always, we appreciate your love and prayers and good thoughts. Mabel is a very, very, very sweet girl. We love her very much.
