Happy 4th of July from all of us (kittens & humans!) at Coastal Bend Cat Rescue! 🇺🇸

July 4th is a very busy holiday, and it’s one of the top days that pets go missing! Pets can be scared of commotion, and loud noises this time of year—especially fireworks! Please remember to keep your pets safe indoors when there are fireworks this weekend. There are different things you can do to make sure your pets are safe and help keep them calm:

✔️Make sure your pet has on a collar with an ID tag in case they do get out, and if they are microchipped make sure your microchip registration is up to date with your current contact info.

✔️Consider using a crate and keep your pet in the most interior room of the house.

✔️Distract your pet from the loud noises outside by playing calm music indoors or have the television on as a distraction.

✔️Take your dog for a long walk before the fireworks start and do not bring them outside while fireworks are going off.

✔️Distract your pets with their favorite food, treats and toys. Offer your cat some catnip as a special treat.

✔️If you have an “outdoor” cat or dog, make an exception for tonight and bring them indoors, either inside your house or enclosed in a garage or safe area.

✔️Keep all windows and doors shut during the fireworks to help muffle out noise.

✔️Consider staying home with your pet if your presence will help keep them calm.

PLEASE take precautions with your fur babies, because they NEED you and cannot handle the July 4th holiday commotion without your help! It is always better to be safe than sorry!

Meet Godiva and Cadbury!

While trapping kittens at a local home, one of our officers noticed a feral female cat chase away a male from the inside of a rusty truck. That got her thinking, and when the female was trapped soon after, she peeked in the truck and saw 2 tiny kittens on the floorboard!

We generally don’t like kitten napping from feral cats because babies do much better if left with their mom…but mom was in a trap and when we crawled into the truck and grabbed babies it was obvious they needed help.

These babies were covered with fleas and ant bites! They were very lethargic for their first few days and dehydrated…not a surprise living in a truck in the summer in South Texas!

The babies are now doing well! They are ferocious eaters and always hungry! Mom was fixed and returned and will never have to care for babies in a brutal Texas summer again!

Welcome to CBCR little ones!

Rescue Family, we need your help! We desperately need to restock on vaccines and medical supplies, and an order of this nature is expensive! Cash is very tight this month due to medical cases—will you help us by donating? We can’t say yes to more rescues without having the necessary funds and medical supplies, so your donation will go directly to our current needs and allow us to say YES to helping more kitties in need! Please, please, please, consider a donation and share this post!🙏

Coastal Bend Cat Rescue is an all-volunteer run cat rescue in Corpus Christi, Texas. We focus on neonatal kittens, underage kittens, nursing moms with kittens and urgent medical cases. This year alone we have tackled numerous complex medical cases thanks to the efforts of our foster parents and generous donations from our supporters. We rely exclusively on donations from the public to operate and cannot continue our mission to save lives without support from donors. Thank you for believing in our mission to save lives, change lives and make a difference!

Congratulations to Chance! He did an amazing job in foster care and has officially graduated!

He was one a little singleton bottle baby that has been in our care since he was about two and a half weeks old. He was the only survivor (and total thriver 🤩) in his litter. That makes him extra cool in our eyes.

Chance gets along great with other kittens and cats and loves to snuggle. We just know this little ham is going to make someone very happy.

If you would like to meet Chance or think he would make a purrfect addition to your home please email:

[email protected] to request an adoption appointment!

Ant, the littlest bug in the swarm, weighs 1 pound today! At 8 weeks old that’s still very far behind where he should be…but we are so happy to see him playful and gaining!!!
