Petey the Kitty (2025)

PETEY’S PURPOSE CREW 🆘

RESCUE PLEA FOR BOO BOO from HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AS (Tampa, FL)

Female (Spayed)
Black tabby
Domestic Shorthair
15 Years

“Boo Boo is 15 years old, spayed, 6.4lbs who is BAR, eating well, & seeking attention. Boo Boo was owner surrendered due to the owner being evicted. Boo Boo is a friendly cat that does well with new people and other cats. She is a senior girl, so she loves her naps, cuddles and playing with her brother Smokey. She was checked by our vet services for straining to urinate. Suspect elevated SDMA and electrolyte abnormalities associated with dehydration. She may also be in the beginning stages of CKD”

I have looked at her bloodwork- like mentioned, she does show a probability of developing CKD- but with everything I have learned with Crinks, that doesn’t scare me. She will just need blood work every 3-4 months.

I need to raise at least $200 to get her started. I am not a rescue partner with HCAS yet, but they are going to help me start the process on Monday so I wouldn’t be able to rescue pull her.. but I can privately adopt her Monday.

She reminds me SO MUCH of my late Sofie who I pulled from Pasco County AS in 2019 as a senior at 12 years old.

Boo Boo deserves a happy ending. Help me give it to her. I HAVE to raise these funds to commit- are you in? I will keep a tracker in the comments.

Welp, today was an expensive day 😬

Updates 💉🩺

Crinkles: PCV is 25 so she needs to restart Varenzin for her anemia. We will recheck her PCV in 4 weeks. I’m super proud of her because she’s been off of it for a long time!

Piper: I had to swap Piper out for Donkey because I needed a refill for her meds and she hasn’t seen our normal vet yet- her script was from our previous vet.

Hope: Finally got her FVRCP and rabies vaccines. Our vet estimates her to be 6.5 months old so we are officially giving her a birthday of June 18th 2024 💗🎂

Noodle & Boo: The babies are currently testing positive for FIV 😕 this can happen in very small kittens, so we will need to retest them again around 5-6 months. I know it’s not the end of the world if they are in fact FIV+ but I just don’t want them to be overlooked when it’s time for their forever home because of it. They also got their FVRCP vaccines. They will need to go back in 4 weeks for their 2nd round. Otherwise they are happy and healthy and already gaining weight 🙂

Noodle & Boo’s portion alone of our bill today was $233. We have raised $95 so far towards their vetting. It will be another $40 in 4 weeks for their next round of vaccines. If you’d like to contribute to their care, I will include ways to donate below 💗

Thank you everyone!

Meet our new Petey's Purpose intakes 🖤🧡🤍

It took me FOUR DAYS to get these babies here! They were found in my neighborhood several streets away sitting next to their mama who was hit by a car and didn’t make it 🥺

I don’t have any further details as honestly my main and only objective was to nail down a time to meet with the person who had these little ones and get them to the house.

They are going to need to be fully vetted, vaccinated, spayed/neutered- the works! And they will be our very first Petey's Purpose adoptable babies!! 🎉🎉🎉

I’m hoping that some of you are able to pitch in and help us with their care! I have several babies going to the vet next Friday so I’m going to see if I can sneak them in as well!

Right now they are just getting used to the playpen. I still need to bathe them, check for fleas, check their s*x, etc so I will update you all throughout the evening. They are older than I expected which is a good thing! I can’t do bottle babies because of my work schedule so I was so happy to see that they are older and also tolerating wets 💗

I have added items to our general wishlist! I will need Iam’s kitten kibble, fancy feast kitten pate, and wipes for these peanuts!

Here is our wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3TQY1J6BE6KE6?ref_=wl_share

It’s been 8 months and 9 days since Petey left me.

I wanted to print off some photos of Max from CVS and when I went to finalize my order this morning, all of the photos that I have been wanting to print off of Petey were in my cart. I wasn’t expecting that and instantly started to tear up. I just haven’t brought myself to finish picking and choosing sizes and placing the order- they have probably been sitting in there for 6 months.

But this morning I edited them and chose my sizes and placed my order. I’ve had a lot going on the last half of this year and quite honestly I can’t wait for it to be over. I try to remind myself though at the same time that this year was also great- I made Petey's Purpose become a reality… and we have already helped a handful of kitties and it’s all thanks to Petey and all of you.

I just got our Petey’s Purpose stickers in today. I will eventually get magnets too. They are $4 each which includes postage (add $1.50 for international). If you’d like to add an additional $1, I will also include a Crinkles Campaign 2024 sticker. I’ll put a picture in the comments.

So bottom line, for $5 you can get our new Petey’s Purpose sticker as well as a Crinkles 2024 Campaign sticker.

You can comment below if interested. I will eventually add them to Etsy.

As always, thank you everyone for everything.

We still also have plenty of Grandma Crinkles Christmas cards available for a $5 donation per card.

Thanks everyone ☺️💗

the update we have all been waiting SEVEN weeks for! Buckle up because this is going to be a long post.

Baby Hope’s right leg has healed BEAUTIFULLY! Her bones are thickening up 😍 you can still tell it’s not 100% BUT she is walking on it amazingly and the surgeon is happy to move forward with her left hip FHO surgery! They actually were willing to do it today but I wouldn’t have been able to pick her and Max up today at the same time an hour away from each other 😅 so I had to pass. Plus- for the sake of my own sanity and convenience, I want Hope’s FHO/spay done the same day as RP’s neuter.

So with that being said, Thursday November 21st is the day for both of their surgeries! I will drop them off at 0700 and pick them up later that day.

When it comes to funds, today was $180 (receipt attached) and she will need blood work 1 week before surgery ($55- so cheap lol amazing). Our estimate (pictured) for Hope’s surgery ranges $1,169.15 to $1,524.15- a little higher than initially quoted, but this is still going to be the best place for us to have this done cost wise not to mention I trust the surgeon 1000% (same surgeon who did Petey’s and Poppy’s amputations).

Because I don’t like to and can’t afford to play, I need to walk in there expecting to pay $1,524.15 worst case scenerio. Anything less than that will be a blessing and I will be able to use it to help others. We need to raise roughly $400 dollars by her surgery date to make that happen!

I have tons of ways that you can help. First and foremost, without sending us $1- you just simply interacting with us on FB helps us! Liking, commenting, sharing, etc- it all helps! We don’t make much from FB, but every $1 counts.

If you are wanting to donate directly to Petey’s Purpose, these are the following ways you can do so:

You can utilize any of the ways mentioned in this post to send a donation. If we finish filling the calendar, that’s $186 towards our $400 goal! As a thank you for donating for the November calendar, you can choose a sticker from or collection or a Grandma Crinkles post card!

As always, THANK YOU everyone! Today was GREAT news and I am so happy for Hope! She is going to have an amazing life when this is all behind her and she can finally run free and be the kitten that’s been pent up inside of her!

I love you all and honestly could NOT do any of this without all of your love and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💗

Today is the day! Baby Hope and I are on the way to Harmony Vet Care in Tampa for repeat x-rays of her legs! Praying her right leg has healed without complication so she can have her left hip surgery!

As soon as I have updates and breakdowns of what we are looking at, I will update and tag everyone!

It’s about to be an expensive week looking at putting it all together: Hope’s visit and x rays today, her surgery plus spay, RP neuter, Crinkles opthamalogy recheck on Friday and Crinkles CKD blood work on Monday.

I’m not sweating it 😬😂😅😭 we got this!!

Hi friends and ! I wanted to share with you all two big things we are doing for fundraising right now for Petey’s Purpose! We are doing a November Pick a Date and Donate Fundraiser and also the cats are creating Christmas ornaments! See below for details on both ❤

November: Pick a Date and Donate Info

How it would work is that those who want to participate would pick a day of the month and make a monetary donation that matched with the date you choose. The calendar is posted below - if the date is blank, it’s still available!

For example, if you pick 11/1, you would donate $1.. if you picked 11/28, you would donate $28. The goal is for us to fill up the whole calendar for the month of November! If we did, we would raise a total of $465!

I would like to use some of this money towards Petey’s Pantry, building up our general fund so we can start offering help to those who may need it, and Baby Hope expenses!

As a thank you for participating, I would be more than happy to mail you one sticker of your choosing from our merch collection OR one Grandma Crinkles post card❤
When you choose your date, I will fill it in with your name and update the calendar 🙂

I can accept donations through the following ways:

SCREAMING! WE DID IT!

Petey’s Purpose is officially 501c3 status!

So blessed and thankful! This is the best day ever!

Petey, thank you for helping me find my calling and my passion- and well, my purpose. Our purpose 💗 I wish you were here to celebrate, but none of this would even be happening if it weren’t for you 🖤🤍

Thank you to everyone who has believed in me 💗

31/10/2024

Happy Halloweenie in Heaven, Petey. Miss you every second of every day ❤️

Petey’s Purpose: Friends Helping Felines purchased its very first bag of food for and from Petey’s Pantry this morning to help someone in need.

This bag will be going to a man who has been feeding a 25 cat feral colony for the last 17 years. Recently he’s been having trouble affording their kibble so I thought he was the perfect person for us to step in and help 💗

What an awesome person to dedicate himself to feeding this colony for the last 17 years! When we asked him what he feeds them, he very specifically told us this flavor of Friskies 😂 he said “they go nuts for the seafood!” - and that’s exactly what they’ll get! 🐟
