Quirky Cats Sanctuaries

Meet Sally in Salem, OR. Sally was living in a field being fed by a community Good Samaritan. They reached out to us and some of you may recognize her sweet face as we were on the hunt for a foster to get her safely indoors. Sometimes it’s the best we can do although in this case the best we could have done is to have gone ahead and vetted her - even if it was TNR. We now have her safely indoors with a wonderful foster family - and Sally is now about to POP! Fortunately her incredibly foster family is excited at fostering a mama and babies and so soon we will have Sally’s family to share…. Stay tuned for more on this sweet Mama! Sally makes biscuits wherever she is even in the air!

Keizer, OR This social young girl has been either dumped or lost in Keizer in a field near Shady Lane and Sallenger. Shes small and likely under a year, not chipped and has been posted for several days on the lost Lost and Found Pets of Salem Oregon page with nothing. We are happy to support her with Quirky Cats Sanctuaries but cannot bring her in without a foster who can commit to holding and caring for her until adopted. All of our rescues are so full and we just can’t help without fosters. She needs to be vetted as she also has a cutaneous horn on her toe bean… Please email [email protected] if willing to help!

Big big thank you to Furry Friends Washington that took in these two scared and sweet ones whose human had died. Quirky Cats Sanctuaries was full to the brim and no available fosters and they didn’t hesitate to help! Rescues working together ! Grateful

Maverick has officially joined the gen pop at our Oregon headquarters! He is still figuring out his way and we are delighted to have him. He’s got a lot going on and had bloodwork done today - poor guy is missing some canines and back teeth and needs to build his strength. We think he may have some birth defects along with having CH and we will sort out what we can and love him regardless!

Buddha Update from his new Mom! He is the best boy ever!😸 I absolutely love how affectionate he is, and, lets me be. He ate his dinner sitting in my lap 😂 after, he laid on me getting endless pets and purring the whole time. My sisters met him yesterday and love him as well. He has warmed up so nicely! He really exceeded my wants/expectations, he’s the perfect fit for me 🧡

Life at headquarters!

Dallas TX Formally welcome Cade (gray brown tabby) and Gabe (white face) to our rescue! For those that followed, these two babies were found in a tied up Tote sadly with a third deceased kitty inside. There is an ongoing investigation with 8 other cats being held at DAS. These two have been cleared to stay in rescue and finally On the road to their happy ever after! They are approx 8-10 months are fully vetted now. They are safe with temp foster and we still Desperately need a longer term Foster for them - they can also be adopted separately but preferably together! https://quirkycats.org/adoption-application

Best feeling ever seeing a previous feral still unsocialized cat start to turn the corner and learn to trust! She’s not injured, she has moderate CH and is very wobbly - and beautiful! We are letting her decompress and assessing how much she will Learn to trust then to getting her vetted!

10 days ago Sammie was living on the streets and had never been touched by human- she is still terrified and only time will tell how social she will become. She has a safe haven for her if needed - but regardless she won’t have to fend for herself again. She is moderate CH, is 2 and has had three litters! No more baby girl.

Happiest update on Pumpkin! After a visit to vet yesterday where she got fluids, some appetite stimulants and calming meds.. PUMPKIN IS FINALLY EATING! Her mom is so grateful and happy and Pumpkim is home where she should have been all along!

Milwaukee, OR This sweet stray boy has been Coming around a house in Milwaukee for awhile and today showed up with a swollen paw and not putting any weight on it. We are still very much in start up Mode and I am grateful to those who have donated to our Quirky Cats Sanctuaries . This guy needs vet and foster! I can’t bring him home until I get a Few of my fosters adopted If we can get enough pledges we May be able to help get him to a vet

Chloe the Kitten

Well, we hadn't planned on jumping in quite so quick, but where there is a need we find a way. I had posted this kitten several days ago but of course everyone is overloaded. We found a great foster and will taking Chloe in as our first official "Quirky Cat" rescue baby! While we are still getting set up, we are just covering her from our pockets and any donations or sponsorship for this little girl would be so appreciated! Donation link is below or if you prefer to VENMO OR PAYPAL, just PM me and I'll send you my personal info for donation. When found, she was dragging her legs and we wont' know until she gets to vet this next week what they think - but we can assume a healing pelvic injury possibly. She is now walking fine, but will need all the things before adoption https://quirkycats.org/donations Paypal: [email protected] THANK YOU!

And, as promised, a video of our very special quirky cat, Roxie! Roxie is moderate CH and has little control over her back Legs. It can be scary to watch, but they rarely get hurt and learn to manage their disability very well! Roxie has an amazing ability to leap through the air and balance herself against the litter box side - occasionally she tumbles and needs a little clean up and we are happy to oblige! Roxie was adopted out in Texas and recently returned and joined the Oregon crew (she’s a great airline passenger!) as she was originally a foster of our founder, Nancy and so is back where she knows her people!

Meet Emmy! Emmy has mild “CH” but it doesn’t slow her down! CH can be mild such as with Emmy or can be more severe (stand by for a post on Roxie, our more “moderate” girl!) Emmy is joining our Oregon sanctuary from Texas and will Be up for adoption in Oregon in the coming weeks.
